Is it worth taking admission for an MBBS at AIIMS Rishikesh or Raipur or Patna if I am getting good colleges from the state counselling like RML Lucknow or GSVM Kanpur?

Infrastructure

Faculty

AIIMS title

Small batch size facilitates better teaching
So yes, it’s worth taking admission at AIIMS Raipur or Patna for MBBS.
Can I be eligible for IIM Visakhapatnam with my academic records 10th 85%, 12th 92%, and graduation 62%?
IIM Visakhapatnam, like most B-schools in India, sets minimum criteria for admission based on the percentage scored in 10th, 12th, and graduation. The criteria for admission at IIM Visakhapatnam are not as stringent as some of the older IIMs, and generally, a score of above 60% in 10th, 12th, and graduation would make one eligible for admission at the institute. However, it's important to note that the institute may have different requirements and cutoffs for different programs, and it's best to check the official website or contact the institute directly for the most up-to-date and accurate information on their admission criteria. Additionally, while meeting the minimum eligibility criteria is important, it is not the only factor that is considered during the admission process, other factors such as work experience, entrance exam scores, and personal interviews are also considered.
The CAT score, in addition to being a selection criterion, is also used to establish the minimum level of proficiency that is expected from the candidate in respective areas as indicated by section-wise minimum scores in the CAT.
The weightage for key components of the shortlisting criteria for IIM Visakhapatnam in 2022 is as follows:
| Component | Weight in percentage on a scale of 100 | Key Points to Note |
| CAT 2021 Percentile | 50 | Section-wise weight prescribed |
| Class 10 marks | 10 | 90 & Above percentile |
| Class 12 marks | 10 | 90 & Above percentile |
| Bachelors degree | 10 | Stream-wise weights |
| Diversity | 10 | Awarded to Female Candidates, transgenders & Non-Engineers |
| Work experience | 10 | Candidates with work ex from 1 year and below 3 years awarded the highest weight |
What are chances of converting NMIMS Mumbai in 211?
Your chances of converting to NMIMS Mumbai are average considering the cutoff below
|
Section |
Expected cutoff |
|
Language skills |
71 |
|
Quantitative Techniques |
76 |
|
Logical Reasoning |
69 |
|
Overall |
232 |
The overall cutoff is 232 while your score is 211. This slight variation can be compensated by performing well in other rounds and areas. NMIMS gives different weights to the different parameters that constitute the final merit list:
- NMAT Score - 70%
- Group/Case Discussion - 10%
- Personal Interview - 10%
- Academic Performance - 5%
- Work Experience - 5%
In case you think your NMAT score is not enough, acing the CDPI rounds will work for you. Both rounds carry a significant weightage of 10% each and can prove to be definite game changers. Other criteria include work experience and past academic records.
Also, there might be people who score higher than you but let that demotivate you as a lower score can be compensated in consecutive rounds. The CDPI round is rather unpredictable and needs to be handled tactfully. Sometimes the performance of one candidate can affect others in the case discussion round. So be prepared for the worst scare scenarios.
What are my chances to convert IMI New Delhi with CAT 92.3 percentile and Xth 79.8%, 12th 86% with a year gap graduation 60.27%?
Considering the criteria and the recent trends, I deem your profile to fare quite well provided that you perform well throughout the selection process.
Once you have been shortlisted you have to face 3 rounds during the selection process
- Written ability test
- Psychometric test
- Interview+Extempore
Your mentioned score combined with your great performance during these rounds will increase your chances of admission.
Does IIM Ahmedabad give a call to the top 50 people from different academic background even if I do not qualify the composite score for getting a call?
The top 5% of people from any academic category will be preferred when giving a call provided that they have cleared the various criteria. They include:
-
Primary sectionals
-
Overall CAT cutoff
-
scored above the specified percentage in 10th and 12th
-
scored above the 80th percentile graduation score
If you have cleared all these criteria then you will be among the eligible candidates. But IIM Ahmedabad calls only 5% of the top composite score holders. For example, if there are 100 general candidates then it will call only the top 5 composite score holders. If there are 2000 general candidates it will call only 100 top composite score holders. But the maximum number of calls made will never exceed 100.

Is there any chance of getting a seat at IIM Ahmedabad if I get above 90% in the CAT exam, but I have 72% in 10th and 60% in 12th??
Honestly, there is almost no chance of getting into any IIMs with your profile with any percentile. Even getting a 99 score in CAT will not guarantee your admission into IIM Ahmedabad given your past academic score is so low.
Still, you can try your best and score the maximum CAT percentile and instead go for institutes like FMS, MDI and NITIE, IIT B/D/M. Another tip is to take XAT as it may increase your chances of admission.
A 90-95 CAT score will open other options for you such as
-
IIFT (own entrance)
-
SIBM, SCMHRD (both through SNAP)
-
NMIMS (through NMAT)
-
IMT, XIMB, IMI, Delhi University courses (DSE, MIB, MBE)
So it’s best if you try all options and sit for various exams. Then choose the best institute for you.
