If a person has short attendance in the 1st semester in DU, what could be the consequences?
In order to sit for exams, it's important to maintain a good attendance record, as the university has become stricter in this matter. If you're close to 67% attendance, you'll generally be given an admit card, but if your attendance is significantly lower, you may be asked to sign an affidavit before the card is issued.
While marks do contribute to your overall percentage, they may not be the most important factor. The quality of the lectures you attend is also crucial, as these are carefully prepared and analyzed by the professor. By actively listening and engaging with the material, you can gain valuable knowledge that will benefit you in the long run.
Attendance, however, is the most important aspect of attending classes. If you miss too many classes, you will miss out on important lectures and discussions, which can impact your understanding of the subject. It's important to try and attend as many classes as possible, and if you do face attendance issues, it can be helpful to speak with your professors or student officers to find a solution. By being proactive and engaged, you can make the most of your university experience and set yourself up for success in your future endeavors.
What is the minimum CAT score required to get into IIM A, B, C or FMS, DU or MDI, Gurgaon?
The entire admission process to any college is divided into 2 broad spectrums; the initial shortlisting and the Final Selection. While it is easy to get a rough estimate of the minimum CAT score required to fetch calls from institutes like IIM ABC, FMS Delhi, and MDI Gurgaon, one cannot predict the CAT score required to get selected in the final round. This is because the final selection is done on the basis of a number of factors like CAT, Interview, academic background and overall profile. Based on my research and experience, I have tried my best to give a general overview of the CAT cutoff of these institutes individually.
IIM Ahmedabad: The minimum CAT score required for admission in IIM Ahmedabad MBA (PGP) for 2023 Admission is the 80 percentile. However, the actual CAT Cutoff for IIM Ahmedabad usually ranges between 99-100. They shortlist the top 50/100 people from different academic fields provided they clear the basic cutoff.
IIM Bangalore: The minimum cutoff for MBA Admission at IIM Bangalore is 85 percentile. However, candidates having a CAT Score of 99 percentile or more can expect a call from IIM Bangalore. They weigh in things like academic records and work-ex for giving out interview calls. So you can receive a call at a score of 95 and you can also not receive a call even at 99.99 %ile.
IIM Calcutta: Candidates must have obtained at least 85 percentile in CAT overall. IIM Calcutta gives major weightage to the CAT score and gender diversity.
FMS Delhi: FMS gives calls solely on the basis of CAT score and does not give any weightage to past academics at all. So the FMS CAT cutoff is as high as the 98 percentile.
MDI Gurgaon: MDI Gurgaon CAT Cutoff range between 93 and 95 percentile for admission 2023.
Which one is the better option, a BBA from DU or from IIM Rohtak?
Many people consider DU as a better option especially if it’s any of the top 3-4 colleges. Yet I chose IIM Rohtak. Now I am going to list down reasons why one should choose DU or IIM Rohtak separately
Why one should go for DU
- You end up saving more than 10 lakhs which is a big amount
- The BBA course here is fairly new and promising
- The location advantage one avail while studying DU is far better than Rohtak.
- If one is sure that they can clear CAT
Why one should go for IIM Rohtak
- If you are a non-math student and have zero interest in commerce
- If you want to give one more chance CAT, you can give it after 3 years.
- The additional 10 lakhs rupees becomes more like insurance for your seat reserved in IIM Rohtak. This will save you from taking a year drop and an additional year to work.
Now on the basis of the above points, you can make a decision that suits you the best.
Which college or university is better for a bachelor's in psychology: DU or MSU Baroda?
What truly distinguishes universities such as DU, JNU, and BHU is their brand value and large alumni base. It's as if they've created a brand, particularly for social science courses. A degree from it is valuable in and of itself. Second, while faculty may be similar in some ways, exposure at DU is unparalleled. You will learn a lot.
MSU Baroda is a great university with a vibrant past and a strong alumni base, but in the current scenario, good colleges of DU stand out. But, yes, you must work hard and take the initiative to learn and gain knowledge wherever you study because, in the end, it is the knowledge you acquire that counts.
