MBBS from All India Institute of Medical Sciences

 If you are consistent, studying 4-6 hours daily can help you get into AIIMS Delhi. Studying 24*7 and sacrificing everything you like other than academics, isn’t necessary. You may have to procrastinate some activities like playing games or watching web series. But you can still keep 1-2 hours for doing things that you like, other than academics. 

Try to stay consistent while preparing and enjoy other things too. This way studying won’t get boring.

Madhav Aneja Posted On : September 1st, 2023
Lived in Chandigarh, India

One of my friends was in a similar dilemma last year when she had to choose between NIT, Kurukshetra, and PEC, Chandigarh. However, she went on to chew NIT Kurukshetra over PEC and stated the reasons below for her choice 

  • Campus: NIT Kurukshetra has a beautiful and more facilitated infrastructure that gives an edge to PEC Chandigarh.
  • Accreditation: NIT Kurukshetra is an NBA-accredited institute and thus has an upper hand over the PEC Chandigarh. 
  • Syllabus: NIT Kurukshetra frequently updates its syllabus to keep it at par with the recent industrial trends and enables the students to study branch-specific subjects right from the first year.
  • Location: Undoubtedly, PEC Chandigarh seems to be at an advantage here. Chandigarh is a much more happening place. It’s a perfect place for students planning to appear for civil services, GATE, etc 
  • Placements: The table below draws a brief comparison of the placement statistics of these institutes

MCA from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

According to the Ordinance, Rules, and Regulations, results should be announced within 45 days of the examination date. The Grade Card can be downloaded from the IGNOU website for any purpose. If you require an original Grade Card for the semesters you have completed, you must contact the Registrar's Student Evaluation Division. 

However, once you complete your program, you will automatically receive your grade card and provisional certificate. Only after convocation will you receive your original degree certificate. Convocation is usually held in April of the following year, following the date of the exam that you took.

How did you feel after visiting IIT BHU after so many years?

AA
Aarti Ahuja Posted On : June 11th, 2023
Lives in Bhopal

My brother is an alumnus of IIT (BHU) Varanasi and has a special attachment to this place. He still is in touch with his friends from the college. Recently, a miracle happened. He got the golden opportunity to deliver a talk at IIT after 30 years of his graduation. 

On reaching the institute he received a warm welcome, and a student even offered to take him on a tour of the campus. 

The first visit he made was to his final year hostel that had the most amazing memories, Visvesvaraya Hostel. He realized that apart from a new flow and changes in the occupancy number, everything was just the same. After this, his 2nd and 3rd year hostel, the Limbdi Hostel seemed to have changed a bit and seemed livelier.

By 6 30 he was ready to deliver his lecture although anxious about the audience. Surprisingly enough the hall was full and many had come to attend the lecture. He spoke on the current economic condition of India and answered all their queries. After this, there was a group picture with the members of the club.

The students requested him to give an interview on the current economic scenario of the country. He was amazed by their enthusiasm and agreed to do so. 

The visit brought back the best memories and he left with a heavy heart and teary-eyed in awe with the warmth and spirit of the students and the institute.

What is the minimum rank I should get in AIPMT for admission in AFMC, Pune?

AD
Aditi Deshpande Posted On : September 22nd, 2023
Lives in Pune,Maharashtra

First of all, AFMC does not consider AIPMT ranks anymore for admission. The NEET 2023 is the sole criterion that is given consideration for the MBBS program offered by AFMC Pune. Only the candidates meeting the qualifying NEET 2023 Cut-off are eligible to participate in the counseling process. After every round of NEET counseling, the last rank at which admission is possible is released based on the seat allotment result. 

AFMC has yet to release the NEET 2023 Cutoff so you can refer to the previous year's cutoffs

Gender

Can an average student get into IIFT?

MS
Mrinalini Sen Posted On : February 1st, 2021
MBA International Business & Marketing, Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Delhi (2018)

Yes, an average student or even a below-average student can get into IIFT. As the past academic scores are not as important as the entrance marks and the student’s performance in GD/PI at IIFT. If you can secure high marks in the entrance examination conducted by IIFT and create a lasting impression in the GD/PI round, then you can get admitted into IIFT as well as other top-rated B-schools.

Useful Tips:

  • The quant section in the entrance examination is not that tough; you can easily clear the cutoff by answering 4/5 questions right.
  • To clear the GK cutoff your reading capability should be good. Reading newspapers can be helpful for GK. It will also help you during GD since most of the topics given during GD are from current affairs. 

Here is the question pattern of the 2020 IIFT entrance paper:

Section

Total number of questions

General Knowledge and current affairs

20

Quantitative ability

25

Data interpretation and logical reasoning

30

Verbal ability and reading comprehension

35

Thus, keeping this structure in mind, you can prepare your own plan of approach. If you can score high marks in the entrance and nail the GD/PI round, then your previous performance won’t hold much weight. According to the popular norm of average percentage i.e. 75%, the student can still secure a seat for himself/herself per their entrance score.
