How did you get into MBA in FMS Delhi?
I will narrate to you the experience of my sister who thought she could never make it into FMS. But she tried anyway and as luck would have it she made it!
In 2016 my sister did not fill FMS application form as she thought she wouldn’t be accepted. With a percentile of 96.54, she got into MDI. Soon after she got interested in consulting, she rejected MDI and with little hope fill the application form for FMS the next year. With a CAT percentile of 99.21, she received an interview call. Almost all the other candidates had a better percentile than her. Yet she did not give up and went into the interview room with full confidence and a positive attitude. Amazingly she ranked 3rd out of 1010 candidates for GD/PI/Extempore Rounds. After a waitlist, she finally made it into FMS Delhi.
Once admitted she never took this opportunity for granted and made the best out of her MBA years. So never give up even before trying!

What is the admission criterion for NITIE, Mumbai, for a student with an engineering background?
NITIE is a renowned institute and is among the top institutes in this league. Candidates belonging to an engineering background are eligible for admission here. There are other criteria to meet which are as follows:
- A minimum of 60% marks in 10th, 12th, and graduation should be secured if you belong to the general category and 55% marks for backward castes.
- For PGDIM, 97.5 percentile in CAT is required for the general category. However, the CAT percentile is extremely low for backward castes.
- The GATE cut-off for PGDIE is different over the branches. A score of 609 and above in GATE makes it certain for a callback.
- Once shortlisted, you will receive a call for Group Discussion and Personal Interviews. The PI is headed by a team of experienced professors who inquire about your background, academic education, technical knowledge, and other general awareness fields.
Your performance in GD and PI round influences your scores and chances of acceptance. It is after this process that the Merit List is issued with the names of the selected candidates.

The required cutoff varies depending on various factors. Generally, you should have a percentage above 90%, if you want to take admission in B.Sc CS at Holkar Science College. If you have above 90%, you can choose your preferred combination of subjects. There are many subject choices.

What is the status of IET Lucknow, and can I get admission there with a 1,750 rank in the UPSEE? In which branch?
Currently, IT Lucknow is considered the best college in Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU). But it is way backward in terms of infrastructure and placements from its private counterparts. The non-core branches’ average placements hover around INR 4-5 lakhs per annum while that of core branches is virtually non-existent.
The students are good as most of them were serious IITs and NITs aspirants before coming here. The students here can easily prepare for other competitive exams as coaching centers are nearby. Attendance is also fairly lenient and thus you will get ample time for your preparations. However, sometimes the administration may go hard if they feel like it.
With a rank of 1750 in UPSEE, I think you can get electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, electronics and instrumentation engineering, civil engineering, and chemical engineering by 4th round. You may also get information technology and electronics and communications engineering by 5th round.
Here are some of the things for which you can consider joining IET Lucknow –
- If you are not getting any NIT or GFTI.
- If your financial condition is not good (Being a government college it has a very nominal fee).
- If you do not want a heavy academic burden.
- If you are aiming for higher education and do not care about placements much.
IET Lucknow is not a bad institute. It is just that it is mostly a good compromise institute rather than an outright first-choice college.
Should I take MSc Maths at BITS Pilani?
Let me clear the general misconception that the level of MSc Maths at BITS Pilani is similar to the 10+2 level. Class 12th Maths is highly analytical while MSc Maths is full of definitions, theories, and proofs. The pedagogy adopted is poor and the majority of students study this subject despite a lack of interest.
For someone who has no interest in Analytical stuff, courses such as ERA, Topology, and Functional Analysis can be very challenging. Some courses which will intrigue you will be of no use because BITS follows the relative grading system where you are graded according to how well you perform as compared to others.
Overall, if you like complex theories and expressions then go for it, but if you too have no interest in complex theories it’s better to not take it.
While many claims that Maths+CS is the best combo, let me tell you that you can take 3–4 Maths courses that help in CS as electives in your CS degree. MSc in Maths is a suitable option only if you are willing to pursue a career in Mathematical research, else the best dual degree option is MSc in Economics. The curriculum is light and knowledgeable.
