I got 82% in 10th and 70% in 12th. Can I get an admission in IIM-Calcutta?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : August 16th, 2023

There are a number of factors that IIM Calcutta takes into consideration during the selection process of the students. However, out of the 3 top IIMs it has the simplest criteria wherein a CAT score above 99.8% can maximize your chances of admission. It's difficult to get admission to other IIMs even with a CAT score above 99.99%

Some other factors that determine your admission chances are 

  • Graduation Scores: The higher your graduation score, the higher your chances of admission to IIM Calcutta.
  • Profile: The more diverse your profile is with a lot of achievements the higher your chances of admission.
  • Gender diversity: Although this is an uncontrollable factor, it is considered while shortlisting.
  • Academic Diversity: Non-engineers have better chances of admission than a GEM. 

Now, considering your profile, you have great marks in class 10th but average marks in class 12th. So to increase your chances of admission, you need a high CAT score of around 99.98% especially if you don’t have legit work experience.

I wanted to take admission in iiit delhi but fees is too high. I wanted to know whether i am eligible for fee relaxation?

SS
Savi Sharma Posted On : October 5th, 2023

IIIT Delhi indeed has very high fees. But it also has several schemes for a partial fee waiver. One such scheme is based on means for which you might actually be eligible. Students whose total family income is INR 22,000 per month, will be eligible for a 50% fee waiver provided that the tuition paid at your school is up to INR 25,000 per annum. In case your school tuition is up to Rs. 45,000 per annum, you will be eligible for a 25% fee waiver only.

Additionally, there is a merit-based fee waiver under which if your final JEE rank is up to 2000, then you get a scholarship of INR 1 lakh per year.

Students can also take out educational loans easily since IIIT Delhi is approved by the State Bank of India under the SBI Scholar scheme which gives out loans easily.

How hard is to get admission in Fergusson College Pune for a non Maharashtra candidate with average CBSE board marks? (for FYBsc.)

RG
Riddhi Goswami Posted On : September 23rd, 2021
B.Sc Microbiology, Fergusson College, Pune (2019)

Your question is not clear as I am unable to figure out what you meant by the word “average”. Also, the stream for which you wish to get enrolled at Fergusson College, Pune should have been specified.

  • The cut-off score for the department of Biotechnology is usually more than that of Microbiology. 
  • If you have obtained a score of above 90% in your class 12th board examinations, then it would be pretty easy for you to secure a seat for admission at Fergusson College, Pune. 
  • The cut-off score categories other than General would be lesser. 
  • So, if you have obtained a score of more than 75% and you fall into the SC/ST categories, then you may have a good probability of being accepted in one of the courses at Fergusson College Pune. 
  • If you are unable to secure a seat for admission during the first round of your counseling, then for sure you would get admission in the later round. 

Do not lose hope and keep on trying till the final round so that you can get admission in the course of your choice at FC Pune. For more details, you can visit the official website of the college.

Should I go for MDI Gurgaon, if I am already earning 7lpa keeping in mind the fees, and are the placements good enough to cover my opportunity cost for the 2 years?

PT
Prathmessh Todkar Posted On : February 21st, 2023
Worked at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

If you are already earning a salary as high as INR 71 LPA, I don’t think an MBA from MDI Gurgaon will do you any good. If you have decided on going for an MBA nevertheless, target the top B Schools like IIM A, IIM B, IIM C, XLRI, FMS, or IIM L. Choosing MDI for MBA is recommended only if you have offers from average B Schools like new IIMs, SPJIMR, NITIE, etc. 

So first you need to get maximum calls from the top B Schools only then can you make a wise and informed decision.

Is it advisable to settle on JBIMS, if one only aimed for IIM's?

AP
Ashish Pai Posted On : February 20th, 2023
Studied at Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies

Comparing JBIMS with IIMs is highly unjustified as IIMs are way ahead of JBIMS or FMS even if we consider the ROI. They are unique in many aspects such as

  • IIM ABC and ISB is the only B-schools that offer Investment banking profiles in placement. Even if we look at other profiles, it’s easy to infer that they are much superior in terms of quality than the ones offered at JBIMS. 
  • Being a pass out of IIMs or ISB, you have an upper hand in the higher spectrum of one’s career, i.e, leadership roles.
  • JBIMS or FMS lack the general ambiance and culture of a typical B School due to a lack of residential and campus facilities.
  • The peer quality of IIMS and ISB are much better than JBIMS whose gender ratio, diversity, and competitive exam are very one-dimensional.
  • The only significant aspect of JBIMS is the ROI which when negated makes JBIMS as mediocre as SP Jain and MDI.
  • The placement statistics of JBIMS are much similar to that of new IIMs or average B Schools like MDI, and SP Jain. They are in no way in comparison to the top IIMs even with batch sizes as small as 120.

So one should choose JBIMS or FMS over IIM only if one wants to spend low fees, take no loans, or pursue MBA in Mumbai or Delhi.

A
Admin Posted On : May 15th, 2024

The eligibility criteria is the same for all the branches of BTech in KIET. You just need to pass 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as compulsory subjects and at least 45% of marks in aggregate. For SC/ST candidates, a 5% relaxation in marks will be applicable.

Additionally, you will also need a valid JEE-Main score. UPTAC registration and counselling for BTech admission will begin from July. 85% of the total seats will be filled via JEE-Main.

For direct admission, you can simply go to their website and fill up their online application form. You will be called for a written exam and an in-person interview when the candidate is shortlisted by the institute based on their PCM merit at the 10+2 level. After passing both the written exam and the interview, you will get the admission offer.
