How do I prepare for an MS interview at IIT Madras?

RB
Ranjini Banerjee Posted On : March 28th, 2023
Research Scholar at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras

The first round comprises a written test where you will be evaluated on your second and third-year Subject knowledge. The test has both problem-solving as well as memory-based questions. The competition is tough but the preparation is just like GATE.

The interview is usually conducted by the entire faculty pool of your department. They ask questions related to the topic of your choice. Answer the questions confidently and ask for a pen or paper if required for illustrative purposes. Don’t do guesswork as this irritates most of the faculty.

Being a research-oriented program, an MS interview necessarily evaluated your basic knowledge rather than memory-based knowledge. They might additionally question you about your Bachelor's project or any internship you did in the past. They might demand answers to certain questions like

  • Why MS? 
  • Why a low GATE score? 
  • Why IITM? 
  • Why department (whichever department you chose)? 
  • Why that particular field of research? 
  • What are your goals? 

Don’t panic while answering these and show them your research talent so that any shortcomings can be overlooked.

Which is the best college for BMS in Mumbai among HR colleges- NM College, Mithibai College, HR College, or Jai Hind College?

SJ
Subham Joshi Posted On : January 19th, 2021
Studied at H.R. College of Commerce and Economics

There are a lot of factors which should be kept in mind while opting for either of the colleges. Some of such factors are mentioned below. 

Attendance- 

  • For attendance, HR is way more lenient than NM College. If you have a valid reason for low attendance such as preparation of CR, then you might be exempted. 
  • However, this doesn't work in NM college, they are extremely strict about their attendance.

Distance- If you are a resident of Mumbai then you should consider the distance of the college from your home. It is an important factor to consider, and saves a lot of time and money.

Focus area- 

  • If your goal is holistic development i.e. curriculum studies plus co-curricular activities, then NM college is the preferred choice. 
  • HR is close to NM in this race. But NM provides a wider exposure owing to its central location of the college, surrounded by various other universities.

Let’s take a look at the advantages of all the above-mentioned colleges in a tabular form below.

Parameters

NM College

HR College

Jai Hind College

Mithibai College

Placement rate (2020)

100%

70%-80%

65%

50%

Average salary package (2020)

17.58 LPA

2 LPA

>2.5 LPA and <5 LPA

4 LPA – 5 LPA

Community- Often this factor is excluded while selecting a college, but this factor is as important as any of the above-mentioned factors. Although, if you have good people skills, you don’t need to consider it. But if you need a community then, in NM you will be surrounded by Gurjatis and in HR by Sindhis.

Infrastructure- 

  • NM College is up-to-date with its infrastructure regardless of the fact that it is one of the oldest and well-known colleges in Mumbai. 
  • HR College is outdated, not maintained, in terms of infrastructure.

Cost- If you are not a resident of Mumbai, South Mumbai is expensive in comparison to West Mumbai. 

Thus, keeping the above analysis in mind, NM College is the best out of the four colleges.

What is the value of a Ph.D. degree from IIT Bombay?

KN
Karuna Nair Posted On : March 13th, 2023
M.B.A. in Marketing, SVKM's NMIMS (Graduated 2017)

If you want to achieve self-satisfaction by gaining maximum knowledge about your research area, a Ph.D. could be a great way to do so. Consider coming to IIT Bombay if you are always enthusiastic about learning something new and doing something innovative. Your work will depend on your area and how far you can reach in the industry. For example, if your area is controlled, you can reach many consulting firms or industries that deal with automation problems. In fact, my lab deals with many industrial problems related to such issues. Your work will be recognized as an asset for IITB, and research is the foremost thing that every professor looks forward to.

Apart from that, you can enjoy a good life as a Ph.D. student here, with the freedom to think in many directions and develop your research skills at your own pace. A Ph.D. degree from IIT Bombay is well-recognized. Many of the students, who are doing their Ph. D.s here in controls, are well settled abroad or in India, which proves the worth of this degree.

What is the criteria to get into Loyola College?

SS
Shuri Shen Posted On : September 29th, 2021
Studied at Loyola College,Chennai,Tamil Nadu (2018)

One of my friends graduated from Loyola College and here are some of the things I got to know from him. This information might answer your question. 

  • Firstly, have a community certificate and good scores.
  • Secondly, it depends on the kind of program you're looking for. For instance, VISCOM is the only program that has an entrance exam and personal interview.
  • All other programs are on a merit basis where the cut-off varies from department to department. Only B.Com and BBA departments have strict cut-offs. 
  • The rest of the departments should accept average applicants provided you have a caste certificate.
  • You might think it is merit, but no. You need to be a catholic, that's the first requirement. If you are a Roman Catholic that's an added advantage.

They prefer Christians though they do admit students from other belief systems or religions that only account for around 10 to 20% of admission where they consider your scoring.

What is the most annoying thing about VNIT, Nagpur?

AK
Aarti Kalyankar Posted On : October 30th, 2023
Lives in Nagpur

VNIT Nagpur is registering continuous growth over the years. However, a few annoying aspects of VNIT need proper attention from students and authorities alike.

These are-

  1. Hypocrisy and Bureaucracy within college Administration- This is the condition of not just VNIT, but most government colleges in India.
  2. Strict hostel timings for girls- In practice, boys do not face strict curfew timings like girls. Post 9 pm girls are restricted to hostels, and can’t even move within the VNIT campus. 
  3. Student Body- Lack of a proper student body has resulted in a communication gap between students and college authorities. Sadly, the administration is not doing anything to solve this problem.
  4. Narrow Vision- The students and authorities mainly focus on grades and placements. Learning, personality development, and research aptitude are completely sidelined because of this attitude. 

VNIT has immense potential as a national level engineering college. The authorities should work on these negative aspects to accelerate this institution’s growth.

I'm working in ONGC for last 2 years after graduated from IIT Ropar? Now I have cracked IIM L, should I go for it?

SM
Shyam Mishra Posted On : November 24th, 2022
PGDM from Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (Graduated 2019)

I know a friend who had cracked ONGC and almost touched 100 percentile in CAT. He decided not to go for ONGC but rather to prepare for CAT. But as luck would have it, she couldn’t make it into IIM A B C. 

She did not give up and studied hard for the same and got into IIM Calcutta and graduated in 2016. After a couple of chances, she opened her own company in the conventional manufacturing space.

The conclusion from this experience is that you should forego the IIM Calcutta offers if:

  • you want immediate monetary gains

  • you do not want to take risks 

  • you are not interested in entrepreneurship

You should go for IIM Calcutta if:

  • You are looking for a brand name

  • A huge IIM L network access

  • If you want an opportunity to pierce into the corporate management space

  • If you are interested in entrepreneurship 

It depends mainly on your risk undertaking ability and what you want from your job.

How difficult is it to get into FMS Delhi?

KK
Komal Katna Posted On : December 28th, 2022
Studied at Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi

Getting into FMS Delhi is not easy as it is one of the best B Schools in India with limited seats and excessive competition due to its great ROI. The extremely low fee MBA program of 2 years is coveted by many so you have to earn your seat.

Also, this institute is the best choice for those who have below-average past academic records. This is because past academics carry less weight in the selection process of FMS. 

FMS Delhi MBA Weightage for Final Selection


 

Criteria

Weightage

CAT 2021 Scores

50%

Academic Score of Class 10th

10%

Academic Score of Class 12th

10%

Discussion on Statement of Purpose

10%

Extempore

5%

Personal Interview

15%

An additional 5 marks will be awarded to the Women Candidates who appear for the Interview. Looking at the criteria we can say that little weightage is given to past academic scores (10%) while maximum weightage is given to CAT scores. No weightage is given to graduation scores at all. This means around 80% of your application score is still under your control. Some more tips to increase your chances of getting into FMS are

  • Focus primarily on scoring maximum CAT scores 
  • Prepare questions regarding your academic background
  • Clear reasons for your decision to pursue an MBA
  • Go through current affairs
  • Practice your speaking skills

All this will help you get into FMS Delhi.
