Which is the best coaching for GATE or IES in Allahabad?
In Allahabad, Gateforum is pretty reputed among GATE/IES aspirants. But the coaching goes on for long hours. You will be exhausted by the time, all the classes are done. If you can cope with their hectic schedule, go for it. Mechasoft is another coaching that you can check out.
Which one is better, dropping a year for the BITSAT and JEE, or joining universities such as LPU or Amity?
Drop a year only if you feel like you couldn’t do justice to your preparation and you can score better next time. Otherwise joining LPU or Amity will be the better option. These are reputed private institutes and offer decent placements to students. According to LPU placements of 2022 students received the highest CTC of INR 64.5 LPA. Amity has a good placement record for engineering branches as well. The average CTC received by most of the engineering branches is INR 6 LPA.
You can join LPU or Amity and prepare for JEE and BITSAT along with it as well. That way you won’t have to drop a year.
Which is better, to join TCS or to continue with GATE preparation?
Join TCS and prepare for GATE simultaneously. During the training session for three months, you will get ample time to prepare for GATE after office hours. If you manage your time efficiently, it’s not difficult to squeeze a few hours for studying, after office hours, even after the training period. Many TCS associates prepare for competitive examinations like GATE, CAT, and IAS examinations. With the right time-management strategy, it’s possible to do both.

Who can rate CAT, XAT, SNAP, IIFT, MICAT, TISS, or NMAT in terms of difficulty level?
Among all these examinations, XAT is most difficult, followed by CAT. The difficulty level of the exams, in descending order (most difficult to easy) is XAT> CAT> IIFT> SNAP> TISS> NMAT.
Now, let us dive into a detailed analysis behind the assigned ranks and the difficulty level.
IIFT-
- The questions asked in IIFT are a mixture of moderate and difficult.
- The struggle lies in the attainment of marks within the cut-off range, both total cut-off and individual section cut-off.
- Therefore, the students have no option but to perform exceedingly well in all sections, GK included.
- The acceptance rate of IIFT is comparably low, only 400 students get admitted out of 50000 students.
SNAP –
- The entrance exam is easy but the tough part is to score marks that will be eligible for admission into Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, or SCHMID branch.
- These are the branches which are of good quality, unlike the rest of them.
TISS-
- The exam pattern of TISS is easy but the GK section is the most dangerous part among them.
- The questions asked in the GK section comprise both general knowledge and current affairs, therefore the portions are cover is endless.
NMAT-
- NMAT exam can be successfully cleared with proper preparation. The questions asked are conceptually based.
- No negative marks are given for wrong answers, hence the students are free to attempt all the questions fearlessly.
MICAT is pretty easy. If you want a career in brand marketing and advertising it is necessary.
Therefore, from the above discussion, you can estimate the logic behind ranking the difficulty level of exams.

The prerequisite for MS from Canada for most top universities and public colleges is in the 7.0-7.5 CGPA. It’s not likely that you will get into a good college with 5.8 CGPA. You have the option to apply for private colleges in Canada. Note that private colleges are not well-reputed in Canada.
How does the CV of students who get selected in IIMs(any), ISB, XLRI, FMS, SPJIMER, JBIMS look like?
Naturally, it’s not possible to talk about CVs of all students who get selected at these B-schools. CVs of around the top 15-20% of students selected at IIMs, XLRI, FMS, or other popular management institutes are exceptional. But CV of an average student at these institutes usually has the following attributes.
Academics and Co-curricular activities:
Every student getting admission at these institutes doesn’t have international level or national level olympiads or other achievements. An average student usually has a few subject scores to boast about, a few competitive examination scores, some co-curricular activities, and a few certifications.
Work experience and Internships:
Most students have one or two job experiences. For this section, proper presentation helps a lot. If you present your job experience properly, your CV will look impressive.
Position of responsibilities:
Every student getting into IIM and other top management institutes doesn’t have exceptional PORs. Most student talks about their role in college fests and the responsibilities attached to it, NGO work, or a captain or vice-captain role in sports teams.
Extracurricular Activities:
Around 70% of students getting admission at these institutes have few social service initiatives, school/college level sports achievements, school/college level cultural achievements.
One of my friends recently graduated from SPJIMR, and his CV was average.
- Academics: 10th - 92.4%, 12th - 82.6%, Graduation - 77.09%
- He had nothing mentionable for Extra Curriculars and Positions of Responsibilities.
The two things that helped him get selected are his CAT score, i.e. 99.38 percentile, and work experience at a Top 20 Fortune 500 Automobile Firm.
This is the case for most students getting admission to these institutes. Only one or two sections of their CV stand out and the rest is fairly average.
