How is the post-MBBS MCh Neurosurgery course in NIMHANS? Will you acquire a good skill set and have a good learning curve there?
NIMHANS is an excellent choice for those who are only interested in neurosurgery and are certain of pursuing a career in the same. However, you won’t be learning anything about general surgery. You’d do a craniotomy for EDH evacuation in a trice but will have a major problem putting your finger on an offending appendix.
Ultimately, if you are making this choice just because you want to pursue MCh directly, it’s better to reconsider your decision. 5-years is a long time to waste on something you aren’t sure of. So choose wisely after considering all options.
My SAT score is 1850. Can I get admission to NIT, Surathkal in the IT branch?
Firstly, congratulations on scoring this in SAT. The grading here is quite relative. Normally, the state toppers, IIT 3000-8000 rankers, 96% to 98% CBSE scorers will be your immediate competition with your rank of 1850. Although, there are good chances that you might have to wait for a few rounds to finish and then maybe in the third or fourth round you might get lucky.
The rank mentioned by you here is quite a fair enough rank. It is also advised here that you have a look at SAT scores as well for the past academic year. There is a slight trend that the scores might vary every year depending on overall performance of all applicants.
Since much shuffling and reshuffling takes place in all the branches including IT in all the admission rounds, it is worthwhile that you wait a longer and try in the third (or fourth) round of counseling.
What's your view on the new law regarding AIIMS, JIPMER, and the NEET?
I am against this new law. Here is my reasoning for the same.
AIIMS and JIPMER entrances followed separate testing patterns, and were markers of autonomy. I never liked the NEET system. It is a central gateway for all types of students- from toppers to those aiming for 300-400 marks. As a result, it has inherited a predictable pattern with easy questions. It lacks judgment parameters like intuition, improvisation, logical thinking, general knowledge, etc.
In this scenario, AIIMS and JIPMER offered an opportunity to students with a different paper solving approach. If these students lost in NEET, they were provided an opportunity through the other two exams. With serious crowding of ranks, even with top marks, it is debatable whether NEET will select only worthy candidates.
In the past, some students scored low in NEET but performed really well in AIIMS/JIPMER. Moreover, the increased stress on a single examination will lay great burden on young students.
In spite of all this, I would recommend you focus on your preparation and perform well in the upcoming NEET exam.
How do I get admission through management quota in Narsee Monjee college of commerce and economics I have scored 93.4% in 12th class?

Having a 93.5% in 10+2 should work in your favor, as students need at least 85% to be eligible for admission through the management quota.
What are the selection criteria and the minimum CAT score needed in FMS Delhi?
For the second round, FMS issues approximately 2800 calls, 1000 of which are for the general category and the remainder for the various other categories. The criteria for making a call are based entirely on CAT. That is why CAT plays an important role in getting a call, and this is a boon for those who do not have good graduation scores because there is a 10% weightage to 10th&12th marks in the final score and no weightage to graduation marks.
To be called, an aspirant must score at least 99 percentile in the general category and 95 percentile in the reserved category for students.
The weightage given to the various sections of CAT when making a call is as follows:
Quant - 30%
DILR - 30%
English - 40%
The fees for a two-year program have been raised slightly; it is now around 2 lakhs for a two-year course, which is still on the low side.
The final weightage of the score is as follows: CAT - 60%, GD - 10%, PI - 15%, 5% extempore, 5% for the tenth score, and 5% for the 12th grade.
Can students from other states apply for ANNA University?
They certainly can. Anna University in Chennai now handles admissions to engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu following the exclusion of the Tamil Nadu Professional Colleges Entrance Examination in 2007.
For students from other states, it has a special space reserved for them, and on a different day, counseling is provided. Because there aren't many people coming from other states to study at Anna University, they should have an easy time getting in.
TNEA is the state-level admission procedure for the state of Tamil Nadu. Anna University organizes it to provide admissions to B.E./B. Tech professional degree courses. Admission will be granted solely on the basis of the intermediate (12th) class percentage. The candidate must obtain 45% (general category), 40% (backward class, including backward class Muslim), 40% (MBC and DNC), and 40% (SC/ST/SCA).
Can I be converted into MDI Gurgaon with 95 percentile in CAT 95 percentages in 10th and 12th and 80 in B Tech with an average GDPI round?
To start with, around 2,00,000 candidates appeared for the CAT exam. This means that for every percentile, there are about 2000 people.
Now, let's say that your percentile is 95, which implies that the 5 percentile is more than yours. In other words, approximately 10000 candidates have scored better than you in the CAT exam.
Suppose that 2000 candidates did not apply for MDI, which leaves us with 8000 candidates. Looking at your good scores in 10th, 12th, and graduation, you are better than at least 4000 candidates out of the remaining 8000.
So, the number of candidates left now is 4000. In comparison, IIMs and private/government colleges like SP Jain, FMS, etc., there are around 1500 and 1000 seats available, respectively, in the general category, taking BLACKIS seats into consideration.
Assuming that they all choose colleges other than MDI, the probable candidates left for MDI with profiles better than yours would be 4000-(1500+1000) = 1500. Now, the number of seats available in MDI is approximately 350.
Considering the average GDPI, the probability of your selection in MDI would be 350/1500 = .23333. So, you have a 23.3% chance of getting selected for MDI.
