Which should I select among IIM Bodhgaya, IIM Sirmaur, and IIM Sambalpur? I have an experience of 4 years in power distribution operation as an electrical engineer, but I left the job last year.
After scrutinizing the list of colleges you mentioned, I think the most viable option is IIM Bodh Gaya. It is the most suitable among the 3 because it has been growing at a spectacular rate. The 2 major reasons for its rapid growth are
- Location: IIM Bodh Gaya enjoys a location advantage due to being situated at a Buddhist tourist spot. The historic pilgrimage site is well connected with an airport just 7 km away. Six connectivity brings in better and more faculty and also top companies for recruitment that don’t visit Sirmaur and Sambalpur due to poor connectivity.
- Mentorship: This is another factor that sets IIM Bodh Gaya apart from other baby items. Once under the mentorship of the top IIM, IIM Calcutta, IIM Bodh Gaya still has a similar pedagogy and curriculum.
Both these factors differentiate Bodh Gaya from Sambalpur and Sirmaur extremely well.
To get admission in IIIT Allahabad what should I do?
My best friend cracked the IIT Allahabad entrance in 2018 and it was not easy to do so. She had cleared the JEE exam with 225 marks to get into the IT department. IIIT Allahabad is a good institution because of its IIT brand name, although it ranks #103 on the NIRF Engineering ranking portal. However, if you'd like to pursue an education at IIT A then read on-
- Firstly, you must have a minimum of 75% marks in 10+2 after which the JOSAA counseling till round 2 can lead you to your IIIT A goal.
- You must get at least 180 marks in the JEE exam to enroll in the four-year ECE program at IIIT Allahabad and your AIR rank for the same should be under 11,000.
- For other dual degree courses, you will need between 180-220 marks in the same.
- Your AIR rank must be under 6500 to get into IIIT A.
- One more good news will be that IIIT A does not have a state quota for residents of UP, hence anyone from India has a fair chance of studying in it. This is true for all IITs.

i have completed civil engineering diploma.. how i join b. arch in sir jj college of architecture
you can pursue Bachelor in Architecture even after completing a diploma in Civil Engineering. The scope for Architecture is increasing day by day in India. The Bachelor in Architecture course is related to the design of bridges, multipurpose buildings, industrial areas, residential area etc. Owing to many ongoing dam and bridge projects in India, there is a huge demand for Architecture students.
Since you have completed a Diploma in Civil Engineering, B.Tech in Architecture is the most logical option for you.
The candidate who has completed a diploma in civil engineering is eligible for the architecture engineering course through the lateral entry scheme offered by the Engineering colleges in India.
Under this scheme, you are eligible for admission for the second year in the Engineering course provided that you have either completed

Did you have great academic scores in order to get into IIM Amritsar?
My cousin recently got into IIM Amritsar with a profile of 8/7/7. She did not let her low grades discourage her and she strived hard to get a great CAT score. Don’t let your past affect your future prospects. Put your 100% effort and you will definitely get what you deserve. As far as her graduation score is concerned, not many scored above 8 GPA. So her 7 GPA wasn’t that bad. In class 12th also, most of the IIMs compare a score of 80 in the Assam board to an 80 in the Andhra board or CBSE. Engineers also face an academic diversity issue. So they need a higher percentile than other graduates. Nowadays IIMs are converting CAT percentiles to the percentage for the CAT weightage component. So, the gap between the 99 and 95 percentile stoops down to 2 points for 50 % CAT weightage. Had the CAT scores been taken, the gap would have been 10–12 points. Hence it makes candidates with low academic profiles difficult to get into IIM. Fortunately, my cousin was lucky enough to get admission as a GEM fresher with an average profile.
Over its history, has IIM Calcutta's strategy of ignoring GPA in lieu of CAT scores been effective?
The answer is based on my cousin's experience who had an average GPA but a great CAT score. IIM Calcutta’s strategy of ignoring GPA in lieu of CAT scores has been essentially effective because:
-
IIMC focuses more on your ability and willingness to learn and apply. Your GPA is just a small factor.
-
People who achieve high CAT scores are not just lucky. It’s a result of analytical skills, hard work, determination, and an overall sense of excellence. All these skills are valuable to the institution.
-
The institute prefers investing in experiences rather than mere grades.
IIM Calcutta, therefore, welcomes mediocre talents and transforms them into their best self. The lack of pressure to achieve high grades makes the overall experience a bit more relaxing. Basically, results are more important than the intensity of efforts. People here develop soft skills like people management, leadership, and emotional intelligence.
We can safely say that the job prospects and academic performance have no connection with your past academic facilities. If anything IIM Calcutta offers you a second chance in life.
If I do my graduation from IGNOU, will there be any difference in chances of getting admission to IIM Ahmedabad?
An undergraduate degree from IGNOU is acceptable for taking the CAT and getting into an IIM.
An IGNOU degree in no way means that you can not try for the IIMs. But whether an IGNOU degree will lower your chances or not, is solely known upon the interviewers.
Your chances of getting selected largely depend on your overall profile. One of my seniors at IIM Ahmedabad had completed his UG from IGNOU. His overall profile was really impressive, and he also possessed work experience of 2 years as a CA. Thus, he was selected for IIMA.
Make sure to maintain an impressive academic profile, and score well in your CAT exam. If you do so, an IGNOU degree most likely won’t hinder your selection into IIM Ahmedabad.
Is it better to take admission in Andhra University or NIT Andhra Pradesh?
Both are very popular institutions in India. NIT Andhra Pradesh carries a brand tag, which might prove to be beneficial further in your career. It will obviously be a better highlight in your resume than only Andhra University.
It is suggested that you opt for either NIT AP or Andhra University, whichever suits your requirements. Here’s mentioning some points that might help you select:
- The branch you are getting plays an important role.
- If you are getting your preferred branch at Andhra University, go for it. Because choosing a course you are not interested in, be it in NIT, will be a bad choice.
- Check which location is more preferable. If you belong to Vizag then it is better to join Andhra University.
- Take help from your seniors in the college as they could give you proper guidance.
- Andhra University fee structure is very low compared to NIT AP, this will be helpful for economically backward students.
- Both AU and NIT AP have excellent and reputed faculty members.
Ultimately it won't matter if you join NIT AP or Andhra University. The only thing that will matter is your dedication to your studies and how you enhance your skills to get success in your career.
Can I make it to IIM A B or C if my 10 score is 93, 12 is 82 and grade is 73 and from a tier 3 college?

Non-Engineers can get a call with low percentile also |
Now considering your profile, you need the following CAT score to get into IIM A B C
IIM Ahmedabad: If you are a non-engineer you will get a call easily but if you are an engineer you will need work experience and at least 99.5+CAT score
IIM Bangalore: You will need work experience to compensate for poor academic record or at least 100 percentile to get a call
IIM Calcutta: you will need 98.8+ if you are a girl. For boys, it is around 99.6+.
Can a 96 percentile in the CAT get admitted in XLRI or any IIMs?
For XLRI, you will have to appear in XAT. As for IIMs, the selection for admission varies depending on which category you belong to.
- General Category Male Engineers (GEM): You are most likely to get calls from the new IIMs. It is more or less the same for GEF except for the gender diversity points.
- General Category Non-Engineers: If you are from Arts background, expect a call from IIM A, B, C, even if you have only above 80% in 10/12/Undergrad. If you are a Commerce student you can expect a call from IIM I/K/S apart from the new IIMs.
- OBC/NCL Category: As the sectional cutoff is lower, you can expect a call from all IIMs except ABC if you are an engineer. Female and non-engineering students will have gender/academic diversity advantages.
- SC/ST Category: The required cutoff is fairly low for these two categories. But you will need decent past academics (at least 80%) to be eligible for top IIMs.
But these are only the minimum requirements to get a call for WAT-PI at these institutes. To be selected for admission, you will need to perform well in the WAT-PI round too as the competition will be fierce.
