What's your view on the new law regarding AIIMS, JIPMER, and the NEET?
I am against this new law. Here is my reasoning for the same.
AIIMS and JIPMER entrances followed separate testing patterns, and were markers of autonomy. I never liked the NEET system. It is a central gateway for all types of students- from toppers to those aiming for 300-400 marks. As a result, it has inherited a predictable pattern with easy questions. It lacks judgment parameters like intuition, improvisation, logical thinking, general knowledge, etc.
In this scenario, AIIMS and JIPMER offered an opportunity to students with a different paper solving approach. If these students lost in NEET, they were provided an opportunity through the other two exams. With serious crowding of ranks, even with top marks, it is debatable whether NEET will select only worthy candidates.
In the past, some students scored low in NEET but performed really well in AIIMS/JIPMER. Moreover, the increased stress on a single examination will lay great burden on young students.
In spite of all this, I would recommend you focus on your preparation and perform well in the upcoming NEET exam.
What is the process to get an admission in ISB Hyderabad?
There are some general guidelines that help during the selection in any top Business schools like ISB, Harvard, etc. Some of them are discussed below in points.
Leadership Quality:
- You need to express your leadership potential to the jury. In this way, you can distinguish yourself from others.
- Motivating others and becoming a better person professionally should be established.
Academics:
- A good academic record and a GMAT score of above 710 can prove an excellent academic potential.
- Studying in a top institute and good academics are an added advantage to the cause.
Work Experience:
- Good working experience is always necessary. Good Business School always gives preference to student employability.
- Having some good brand names in the resume, with proper work experience can help a lot in the interviews.
Mutual Fit: Proving to the panel that you are a good fit for the role and have made extensive research on the profile would help a lot during the selection.
Career Goals:
- Express your short-term and long-term career goals to the panel.
- Short-term goals should be such that can be made possible with the current skill-set and with the aid of the institute.
- Having an impossible aspiration is not worth expressing.
Be Genuine:
- You need to be genuine in everything they say. Business schools are very much aware of plagiarized content and they find them out easily with the use of plagiarism software.
- The decision panel has been doing the selection for decades and so, it is not possible to escape from them, having plagiarized content.
Recommendation Letters:
- It can be used as an essential form of self-presentation. But, recommenders should be chosen wisely.
- It should not contain anything against the candidate as it can have adverse effects.
- Asking the supervisors or vendors for recommendations is the best choice, rather than asking a CEO or CXO.
Interview: Interview preparation has a lot of resources on the internet. Sounding originally is essential.
These are some of the key points that would aid during the preparation for a B-School like ISB.

What are the selection criteria and the minimum CAT score needed in FMS Delhi?
For the second round, FMS issues approximately 2800 calls, 1000 of which are for the general category and the remainder for the various other categories. The criteria for making a call are based entirely on CAT. That is why CAT plays an important role in getting a call, and this is a boon for those who do not have good graduation scores because there is a 10% weightage to 10th&12th marks in the final score and no weightage to graduation marks.
To be called, an aspirant must score at least 99 percentile in the general category and 95 percentile in the reserved category for students.
The weightage given to the various sections of CAT when making a call is as follows:
Quant - 30%
DILR - 30%
English - 40%
The fees for a two-year program have been raised slightly; it is now around 2 lakhs for a two-year course, which is still on the low side.
The final weightage of the score is as follows: CAT - 60%, GD - 10%, PI - 15%, 5% extempore, 5% for the tenth score, and 5% for the 12th grade.
Can students from other states apply for ANNA University?
They certainly can. Anna University in Chennai now handles admissions to engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu following the exclusion of the Tamil Nadu Professional Colleges Entrance Examination in 2007.
For students from other states, it has a special space reserved for them, and on a different day, counseling is provided. Because there aren't many people coming from other states to study at Anna University, they should have an easy time getting in.
TNEA is the state-level admission procedure for the state of Tamil Nadu. Anna University organizes it to provide admissions to B.E./B. Tech professional degree courses. Admission will be granted solely on the basis of the intermediate (12th) class percentage. The candidate must obtain 45% (general category), 40% (backward class, including backward class Muslim), 40% (MBC and DNC), and 40% (SC/ST/SCA).
Can I be converted into MDI Gurgaon with 95 percentile in CAT 95 percentages in 10th and 12th and 80 in B Tech with an average GDPI round?
To start with, around 2,00,000 candidates appeared for the CAT exam. This means that for every percentile, there are about 2000 people.
Now, let's say that your percentile is 95, which implies that the 5 percentile is more than yours. In other words, approximately 10000 candidates have scored better than you in the CAT exam.
Suppose that 2000 candidates did not apply for MDI, which leaves us with 8000 candidates. Looking at your good scores in 10th, 12th, and graduation, you are better than at least 4000 candidates out of the remaining 8000.
So, the number of candidates left now is 4000. In comparison, IIMs and private/government colleges like SP Jain, FMS, etc., there are around 1500 and 1000 seats available, respectively, in the general category, taking BLACKIS seats into consideration.
Assuming that they all choose colleges other than MDI, the probable candidates left for MDI with profiles better than yours would be 4000-(1500+1000) = 1500. Now, the number of seats available in MDI is approximately 350.
Considering the average GDPI, the probability of your selection in MDI would be 350/1500 = .23333. So, you have a 23.3% chance of getting selected for MDI.

How do I get admission in IIM Indore?
The first step to get into IIM Indore for your PGP is to clear the CAT exam. As there’s already plenty of information online on how to clear the exam, I’ll be moving forward to the next steps.
Once you get a call from IIM Indore, the next step is GD and PI. The GD round is all about speaking. But do not make the mistake of speaking useless things. Instead, make just 2-3 points that are logical and that take the discussion forward. Else, come up with something creative to support your opinion. For example, my friend got the topic- “Advertising: Noise Attracts Attention”. As soon as the floor was open for discussion, he made a loud thud with his foot. This attracted everyone’s attention towards him. In response, he just said- “Hence proved, noise attracts attention.” He cleared the round because of his out of the box response.
The personal interview is mainly a test of your confidence. Read general knowledge material and prepare at least one subject of your interest in depth. You’ll be asked questions on them. If you do not know a certain answer, be honest about it. You can add humor to the conversions, but do not use inappropriate jokes. You must across as a sensible gentleman.
These are a few tips to ace the GD PI round, which will ultimately lead you towards becoming a student at IIM Indore.
