If I study agriculture from a non ICAR university but the university is UGC approved will I get a govt job of agriculture?
Both ICAR and UGC are two different organizations and both have different roles. UGC plays an important role in traditional education while ICAR plays an important role in agricultural education.
You can get a government job based on the requirements for that job. If they demand a graduate from any college or university without any special mention for an ICAR affiliated university, then you will be eligible for that job. But if it is clearly mentioned ICAR affiliated universities only, then you won't be able to apply for that job.
Choosing an ICAR affiliated college will be a better option as it focuses on agriculture specially and it will create new possibilities of getting a better government job and getting more recognition and fame in this field.
Which is better for a B.A. hons in economics Ramjas College or Kirori Mal College?
Most DU institutions are on a similar footing. But Ramjas is regarded to be superior in most areas. Apart from similar academics to KMC, Ramjas College has one of the best cultural events. Its focus is on the holistic development of students.
With time, the value of these colleges is diminishing as cut-offs are getting competitive, and the quality of students is spreading more evenly. However, Ramjas is the best if you want to challenge yourself.
What do you like and dislike about Kirori Mal College?
One of my friends graduated from this college, and her experience was utopian. Here are some of the things that she mentioned about the institute.
- The crowd is incredible. It is competitive and brilliant. The majority of the students get placed in a reputed organization based on their extraordinary skills.
- The societies are the best part to explore your strengths and interest areas. You can get involved in NCC, NSS, Enactus, music, writing, drama, and sports.
- The institute has a strong alumni base. It has produced various industry leaders. Most of them are renowned in Bollywood, Art, Business, or even Politics.
- There are trained teachers with years of experience. They will prepare you for exams but also the hurdles of life.
- The heritage is enhanced by its gorgeous campus, famous academic building, serene Ashoka lawn, massive sports area, international class gymnasium, and a massive library.
- Under the Delhi University, the KMC is one of the most active colleges, be it a renaissance cultural festival, society events, or intellectual sessions organized by various departments.
A few of the things that bothered my friend were the non-cooperative administration, the college timing, and the politically engaged crowd.

What are the chances of getting an IIM with academics 88/70/65, and how much percentile should I get to get a chance for older IIMs?
It is understandable that your 12th and graduation scores are not up to the mark for the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) A, B, and I. Even IIM L may also be difficult for you to secure a call from because of your low scores. However, it is important for you to know that there are other options available to you. Even though it may be challenging, it is still possible to secure a call from IIM C and IIM K with a very high CAT score of 99.9 or above. Unfortunately, it seems that IIM Shillong may also not be an option for you due to your low score in 12th.
Given this situation, it is advisable for you to give your best effort in preparing for the Common Admission Test (CAT) and also consider appearing for other entrance exams like the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) and the Xavier Aptitude Test (XAT). With a decent CAT score of 99.8 or above, you may have a chance at prestigious institutes like the Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), the Management Development Institute (MDI), and some Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
Additionally, keep in mind that the weightage of the entrance exam and interview is very high for IIFT, so it is important for you to prepare well for that as well.
It is worth mentioning that, although your current scores may seem like a setback, it does not mean that your aspirations should be limited. Keep in mind that there are many other options available, and with hard work and determination, you can still achieve your goals. Remember to keep your head held high and keep pushing forward.
