Let’s discuss the changes in getting admission into IIM Calcutta through past figures (general category only).
Apart from CAT score, the chances of getting into IIMC depend on various factors such as
Academic profile (i.e. marks in 10th, 12th, and undergraduate)
Academic Diversity
Work experience
Gender Diversity
Category-based evaluation (EWS, NC-OBC, SC, ST, PWD)
IIM Calcutta has around 200-220 general category seats. Also, it rejects 4 students for 1 selection which means around 1100 students are shortlisted. To be among these 1100 students you need to have at least 99.33 percentile.
The chances increase if you are a favorable candidate apart from a high CAT score. Being a female, non-engineer, decent work experience. If you aren’t then your cutoff increases to 99.5.
Your chances drop to 0.5% and passing the interview round becomes more difficult.
So work around the factors I have mentioned beforehand to become a favorable candidate for admission into IIMC

One of my friends was a student from an electronics engineering background who took Neuroscience for M.Phil. A lot of people have questioned his choice, but he said that it was a good decision and enjoyed learning about the course. Let me share his experience.
If you do not study and follow properly, it becomes difficult. He was content with his choice, stating that it is hard work that only matters. Except for the MD courses and nursing specialties all the courses here at NIMHANS are super specialties and research degrees (Ph.D./MPhil).
Both AIIMS and NIMHANS are excellent options for pursuing a PG in neurology. While choosing one between the two, you might want to consider the following simple differences
So choose wisely!
KIIT is certainly one of the most highly-reputed colleges in Eastern India and its official rankings are a testament to the same. One of my friends was in a great dilemma and took Civil Engineering at KIIT during counseling but ended up getting admission somewhere else. Till the end, he wasn’t satisfied with the institute especially because of its increasing intake. The high competition makes it impossible to get a good job and all the high fees you spend goes to waste. He knew KIIT offers a very dynamic college life which he will be missing out on if he doesn't take admission but the high strength dissuaded him.
That being said, you can choose among the following private engineering colleges which are well-known for their excellent education and placements.
Hope this was helpful!
Yes, it is absolutely possible for someone to prepare for both AIIMS PG and NEET PG simultaneously. For that, there are a few points to consider which are stated below.
The following table states the recent seat count available from NEET PG and AIIMS PG.
Total Number of MD + MS + Diploma seats under NEET PG (Government + Private) |
27,979 |
Total Number of MD+ MS+ Diploma Government seats under NEET PG |
17,921 |
Total Number of MD + MS seats under AIIMS PG |
680 |
Points to consider:
Do not feel stressed if you haven’t cleared AIIMS PG. You can give your best shot in NEET in a month's time and full-focus can do well. Having a similar structure and syllabus, both exams have a common way of preparation which needs to be covered at an early stage and the advanced preparation following it. So, simultaneous preparation is always possible.
Honestly speaking, TAPMI, FORE, and LBSIM are very similar in terms of curriculum. Many of my friends have completed PGDM from FORE and TAPMI. Even the comp ones that visit the campus for placements are very similar and not much comparison can be done between the 2 B Schools. The placements report too will reveal a similar list of companies visiting. Some minor differences between these B Schools are
Recruiters consider all top 2 B Schools in the same league. What matters more than your B School choice is what you plan to do from your PGDM course.
My brother completed his PGP from IIM Kozhikode a few years back.
According to him, first year PGP students are randomly allotted single/double/triple occupancy rooms. The allocation varies for boys and girls. Single occupancy rooms share a common washroom on the same floor. They do not have an AC facility, and common washrooms are not provided with geysers.
Double occupancy rooms are provided with attached washrooms. Those rooms have ACs, and their washrooms have geysers. But the AC and geyser facility is available only after paying a monthly rent alongside the other fees. In the second year, there is an option to select either a single or double occupancy room.
The hostel rooms are top class in comparison to other colleges. The balconies open to a scenic, resort like view. The hostel allocation process changes each year, based on the diversity ratio and batch strength.
