Who can rate CAT, XAT, SNAP, IIFT, MICAT, TISS, or NMAT in terms of difficulty level?

RS
Rishi Sen Posted On : February 1st, 2021
PGDM Marketing and Finance, Institute of Management and Technology, Hyderabad (2021)

Among all these examinations, XAT is most difficult, followed by CAT. The difficulty level of the exams, in descending order (most difficult to easy) is XAT> CAT> IIFT> SNAP> TISS> NMAT.

Now, let us dive into a detailed analysis behind the assigned ranks and the difficulty level.

IIFT

  • The questions asked in IIFT are a mixture of moderate and difficult. 
  • The struggle lies in the attainment of marks within the cut-off range, both total cut-off and individual section cut-off. 
  • Therefore, the students have no option but to perform exceedingly well in all sections, GK included. 
  • The acceptance rate of IIFT is comparably low, only 400 students get admitted out of 50000 students.

SNAP – 

  • The entrance exam is easy but the tough part is to score marks that will be eligible for admission into Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, or SCHMID branch. 
  • These are the branches which are of good quality, unlike the rest of them.

TISS

  • The exam pattern of TISS is easy but the GK section is the most dangerous part among them. 
  • The questions asked in the GK section comprise both general knowledge and current affairs, therefore the portions are cover is endless.

NMAT

  • NMAT exam can be successfully cleared with proper preparation. The questions asked are conceptually based. 
  • No negative marks are given for wrong answers, hence the students are free to attempt all the questions fearlessly. 

MICAT is pretty easy. If you want a career in brand marketing and advertising it is necessary. 

Therefore, from the above discussion, you can estimate the logic behind ranking the difficulty level of exams.

Yes, you get your migration certificate after the completion of your degree. But colleges don’t provide you with it. Right after completion, colleges only give you your:

  • Character Certificate 
  • Provisional Certificate 

The final degree certificate is handed over after around 1-2 years. 

To get your Migration Certificate, you are required to fill out a form. This form can be obtained from your college or from V.C. Office. Get it attested by your college and submit it to the examination department of Delhi University. 

Duration: 1 week

Fees: INR 500

Note- students at the South campus are to apply for a migration certificate at the D.U’s examination department in the South campus. The rest have to apply at the examination dept. at the V.C office on the North campus.

Should I join IIT BHU for pharmaceuticals or IIT Dhanbad for mining?

Sayantani Barman Posted On : October 12th, 2023

I had the same choices in front of me, a few years back. 

I consulted some seniors and decided to opt for IIT BHU Pharma. After a year, I changed my branch. One of my friends who also had these choices decided to go for IIT Dhanbad. Even he changed his branch after a year. I changed my branch and opted for Mechanical. 

I would say both choices are equally good. For CAT/UPSC prep, these two branches are easier and will allow you more time for studies. Even if you want another branch, study hard so you can switch. 

I wouldn’t recommend a drop. Both the IITs are good, and a year of preparation will allow you to switch to another branch. This way you’ll always have something to fall back on. But if you are determined to score higher in the next attempt, you may consider taking a drop. It’s very difficult to remain positive and motivated in a drop year, and the decision is a bit risky. 

Whether to join or drop is your personal decision. But I would recommend you join any of these two courses/colleges.

Should I take job before doing PGDIE from NITIE or directly apply after my b tech?

SJ
Shekhar Jha Posted On : August 12th, 2021
Studied at National Institute of Industrial Engineering

It is definitely not necessary for you to have experience before pursuing PGDIE from NITIE. If you are getting any opportunity to pursue PGDIE just after your BTech degree then you should definitely join it.

Generally, most of the students prefer to do an MBA program after 2-3 years of work experience. And this is because most people don’t have a clear idea about their future and after working for years they realize the importance of management in the industry. So, whether you should join or not is up to you. Having working experience will definitely make your profile better. So, choose according to your convenience.

What are the drawbacks of NIT Durgapur?

SD
Shivani Das Posted On : September 8th, 2023
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology Durgapur (2019)

Though I love my college, here are some areas that need to work on with sincerity-

  • Learning Method- Students are expected to follow an orthodox learning style. To become a 9-pointer, you’ll have to memorize class notes. Students mug up answers and write them in their answer sheets. All this requires simply a week-long preparation before the respective exam. Professors don’t encourage creativity on answer sheets, they want an exact reflection of their notes.
  • Administration- The administration isn’t supportive at all. There is a fine/ charge for everything. You are expected to pay money for college ID, low attendance,  college bonafide, and practically every other thing.
  • Training and Placement Cell- They organize no training programs to prepare students for job interviews. Even if you find a training program that needs college approval, you’ll face many obstacles in acquiring their permission. Placements are good, but you’ll have to prepare on your own.
  • Hostel Infrastructure- The majority of hostels were built in the 1960s, and have never been renovated since. The rooms are in poor condition and the occasional paint job does minimum to hide the damages. 

NIT Durgapur has given me lovely seniors and amazing friends. I will always cherish these memories. But these (and some more) areas need serious attention from the college authorities.

What's the best way to score an above 8 CGPA in VSSUT?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : October 16th, 2023

Here are some tips to score an 8+ CGPA during your B.Tech at VSSUT-

  1. Do not rely on teachers. Self study is the only thing that’ll save you.
  2. For last minute studies or to understand a topic, follow books by local publishers (like B.K. or Alok publication). This is especially helpful for the subjects that you find difficult. 
  3. Follow NPTEL videos for learning important concepts. These videos aren’t made for last minute studies, so watch them during regular days. 
  4. Solve all assignment questions yourself. During exams, especially midsems, most questions are based on these very assignments.
  5. Try to score very high in midsems as they are much easier than the endsems. Midsems can increase your final marks by a lot.
  6. To get 9+ CGPA, make sure to score at least 15+ in all subjects, in your mid sems. Also, start studying at least two weeks before the end sems. 
  7. In your final results, if you get an O grade in two subjects, and a C in none, you’ll surely get a 9 CGPA.

Maintain a good CGPA because it is very important for placements and higher studies (MBA, M.Tech, etc). Only the top 20 students from each branch are deemed eligible for the written test of L&T. To be one of those students, you’ll have to get 8.8+ CGPA in your B.Tech.

Is it easy to get a 9 CGPA at IIEST Shibpur?

SN
Subhadra Nandi Posted On : March 12th, 2021
Bachelor of Engg. Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2019)

It might be not so difficult but not too easy. If you can sit and study for 8 hours and stretch longer you can get 9 pointers easily and successfully. If you spend most of your time wasting, then it is very much possible and sure you aren’t getting either of pointer and knowledge. Also, getting a 9 pointer or more is easy if you have interest in the field you are pursuing.

  • It is to be noticed that, it’s relative to your credibility to the department you are seeking engineering in.
  • Some departments are easier to score good grades while others aren’t.
  • The number of 9 pointers varies department wise. On an average you cannot see many 9 pointers in a class. Very few are that studious.
  • You have to be sincere, regular, and attentive in classes to be a 9 pointer and to maintain your high CGPA.
  • You can achieve a CGPA more than 9 and above, but you have to be regular and attend at least 80% of class in a semester.
  • Give constant efforts to complete your syllabus before the exam day and solve maximum of your assignments and tutorials yourself. Then getting 9 pointers will become easier.
  • Also, you should do really well in practicals as it adds on the marks, increasing your pointer eventually.
  • You have to revise all the notes and books time to time and thoroughly before your exams.
  • Preparing the notes is vital. 

Yes, you can achieve 9 pointers with genuine approach and studies. Write as well as read enough books while preparing for exams. This will eventually help you in not only exams but also in gaining knowledge. Following these pointers will also help you.
