What are the passing criteria for in the AKTU semester?
AKTU (Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University) semester passing criteria:
- Theory: minimum 30 marks out of 100 (30%) in semester end exam PLUS 75% attendance required to sit in exam
- Internal Assessment: minimum marks in sessional/internal separately
- Combined passing: to pass a subject, you need minimum in both internal and external. failing either means a KT (backlog)
- Overall semester: a student passes a semester by clearing individual subjects. with too many backlogs, promotion may be affected (year back rule applies)
AKTU's passing threshold is 30% in the end semester exam — relatively lenient compared to some universities. but attendance is strictly monitored (75% minimum compulsory). check aktu.ac.in for the latest ordinance for your specific batch/scheme as AKTU has multiple running exam schemes.
Do all of the 7 AIIMS take their students for Shimla trip or is it only for AIIMS Delhi students?
Talking about official out-station trips, none of the AIIMS institutions send their students on official out-station trips.
AIIMS Jodhpur sends its students to various inter-college fests, for example, Chiasma (AIIMS Bhubaneswar), and Silhouettes (AFMC, Pune), among others. The same goes for other AIIMS institutions.
Regarding the annual freshers’ trip to Shimla, the trip is planned by the Student Welfare Union of AIIMS Delhi. Thus, it is not an official trip and is organized by a student body. AIIMS Delhi has been in place for a very long time and so while other institutions do not have such a tradition in place, the student body at AIIMS Delhi follows it.
How difficult it is for an average student to crack XAT exam to get XLRI? How much is the CAT score of students who go for XLRI?
Well, my friend has appeared for both CAT and XAT exams. She filled the MBA admission form from XLRI knowing the difficulty level of XAT. XLRI is a prominent university that has high demands among the students hence, it isn’t easy to take admission here. If you clear CAT with good marks, there are high possibilities to clear XAT with good marks as well.
- There are few instances where students scoring low percentage in CAT, score more percentage in XAT. It happens because they divide the paper according to their skills. If you are good at the quant section, you may clear CAT quite easily.
- On the other hand, XAT is all about verbal and decision-making skills yet you need to make sure that you score around the passing marks in the quant section.
- CAT is about 66% of quant questions whereas XAT has 37% of the quant questions; which has sums based on ethical decision making. However, scoring up to the mark in XAT and CAT comes hand in hand as the difficulty level for both the exams is similar.
Considering the ‘average’ students who usually score average in academics, they have an equal chance to get admission. Moreover, I believe that besides passing or scoring good marks in the XAT or CAT, the admission of the students depends on other factors like knowledge, performance in GD-PI and total appearing candidates.

Why do some students in IIT Bombay leave high-paying jobs and join grad schools for PhD?
It’s highly illogical to question why some students in IIT leave high-paying jobs and join graduate schools for Ph.D. This is because some people tend to do whatever makes them happy rather than following the sheep mentality. They don’t consider money as the only source of happiness. And they know that a high-paying job will rob them of mental peace due to a lot of responsibilities they might not even enjoy. So they choose a happier and simpler part which is pursuing a Ph.D.
Another major reason why people may pursue a Ph.D. rather than working at a top company is their strong inclination to words academics, and they may not be satisfied with a bachelor's degree and crave higher studies in the form of PhD. Basically, the reason behind such a decision is subjective and depends solely On the particular individual, and cannot be objectified.
The common reason why people make such a decision is that they have more interest in studies and doing a job would hinder that passion. Doing a Ph.D. gives you opportunities to travel and enjoy life generally. That being said, it's not necessary that a Ph.D. is easy for everyone. It strictly depends upon one’s preferences and capabilities.
Why is BITS Pilani not in QS World University Rankings?
First of all, your statement is false, BITS Pilani is certainly ranked by the QS World University Rankings. BITS Pilani Overall ranking by QS World University is 1001 out of 1400 colleges in International in 2023 and it was 1001 out of 5500 colleges in International in 2021.
International rankings are a repetitive process, each year taking a fresh look at institutions that deserve to be included and institutions that deserve to be displaced. Usually, Indian universities struggle in international rankings because they are extremely teaching-focused, and thus their research is either lesser in volume, international recognition and influence, or both.
Over the past few years, top private institutions in India have brought changes in this system and are becoming more qualified for inclusion in international rankings.
