How can you get admission in Sathyabama University and Hindustan University?

SS
Shambhavi Sharma Posted On : September 16th, 2023
Lives in Chennai

As a B.Tech CSE student at Sathyabama University, I can tell you about my branch and my university.

I got in through management quota, the other way is entrance. I booked my seat before my 12th result by paying 50k and providing my 10th marksheet. For this, I visited the university in March after my public exam. After your 12th result, you can visit and confirm your seat. You’ll get in even with low marks in class 12th. The fee is around 2 Lakhs per year, but the infrastructure and other facilities are good. 

Through entrance, you’ll need a rank below 3000. Still, it isn’t sure that you’ll get CSE. CSE seats are completely filled in the first counseling round itself. My friend acquired 1600 rank, but couldn’t get into CSE. Getting in through entrance is extremely difficult due to high competition. Take this route only if you are sure of ranking high in the exam.

This is how you can get into Sathyabama University for your CSE. I do not know about the admission process in Hindustan University.

How many marks are required in JEE or GUJCET to get admission to PDPU Gandhinagar?

HS
Harsh Singh Posted On : January 14th, 2021
B.Tech from Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University, Gandhinagar (2019)

The cut-off rank (or score) required for PDPU in JEE or GUJCET changes every year. The corresponding score and rank dependency is also different every year.

The expected cut-off ranks for PDPU from JEE Main are listed below.

Department

JEE Main Cut-off(expected)

Petroleum Engineering

<56000

Computer Engineering

<40000

Information and Communication Technology

<52000

Chemical Engineering

<65000

Mechanical Engineering

<60000

Electrical Engineering

<150000

Civil Engineering

<150000

Key highlights:

  • The score required varies on the overall performance and difficulty level of the question paper. One of my friends got admission in the Chemical Engineering branch with a 120 cutoff in JEE Main back in 2016. Chemical is among the fastest filling departments along with Petroleum and Computer Science.
  • For GUJCET candidates, a score of around 95 should be sufficient for PDPU. For SC/ST candidates, even 85 would do the same.
  • For JEE Main candidates, 130-150 is considered as a sufficient score for general students for getting the top branches in PDPU.

The above ranks and cut-offs are assumptions and can be considered as tentative values.

Will I get admission in CUSAT with 6615 rank in spot round?

AB
Ahalya Bose Posted On : August 16th, 2023
Studied at Cochin University (2019)

The closing ranks for CUSAT CAT 2022 for general category in different branches in B.Tech are as follows-

Course

Closing Rank

Computer Science and Engineering

1651

Naval Architecture and Ship Building

618

Electronics and Communication Engineering

2662

Electrical and Electronics Engineering

2970

Information Engineering

2617

Safety and Fire Engineering

1855

Polymer Science and Engineering

2330

Instrumentation Technology

2498

Mechanical Engineering

2321

Civil Engineering

3151

As you can see, for a general category candidate, the closing ranks did not go beyond 3000 in the previous year. However, for an SC/ST candidate, the closing ranks are more relaxed. Also, if you are from some other state, 50% seats are reserved for Keralite students.

During CUSAT spot allotment, you can get the seats that are left or not filled up. These seats are filled rank-wise. Speaking statistically, a lot of students who are above you rank-wise will show up during the spot allotment. So, your chances depend upon the number of candidates above you who show up on that day.

How much percentile is needed to get through the admission criteria of Jaipuria Institute of Management in Noida?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 13th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

You will get into Jaipuria Institute of Management Lucknow even without giving any exam. Tier 4,5 institutions aren’t a good choice for pursuing your management studies. 

The top 25 business schools have the right to claim that they provide the necessary management education and experience. You must aim to pursue your management studies from the top 25 business schools. By top 25, I mean the best 30-35 institutions 

that can be grouped into the top 25.

I did some research on what management institutions you should join to have a successful career. According to me, do not choose Jaipuria Institute of Management Lucknow as your priority. If you wish to get a good start, score well in the CAT examination, and get 90+ percentile. You can then secure a seat in one of the best management institutes that will groom your personality and provide you with the necessary skills.

Can students outside Maharashtra get into JBIMS?

MS
Mahima Sethi Posted On : March 3rd, 2023
MBA from Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (Graduated 2011)

Admission to JBIMS can be gained through two methods: Direct admission based on written scores in CET and other All India entrance tests, or shortlisting based on CAT/CET scores and GD-PI.

For the Direct admission method, 15% of the total intake will be set aside for All India seats. This includes seats for Maharashtra residents, as well as a maximum of 18 seats for students from outside of Maharashtra. The cutoff for these seats is generally a score of 99.98 or higher in any of the entrance tests, such as CAT, XAT, CMAT, MAT, ATMA, or CET. Additionally, there are 2 seats set aside for students from Jammu and Kashmir, which are not counted among the 18 outside Maharashtra seats.

For the Shortlisting method, there is no fixed quota. Students with a score of 99 percentile or higher, a good profile, and successful performance in the GDPI can be admitted. When this method was followed in the past, students with scores as low as 97 percentile received calls, but most admitted students had scores of 98.8 or higher in CET or CAT. This method promotes diversity and fairness, but the method used for admission is ultimately up to the discretion of the institute.

In conclusion, students from outside of Maharashtra can get into JBIMS as long as they have a strong written score and perform well in the selection process.

Does IISc Bangalore select students with a low CGPA and average GATE marks?

SP
Shikha Poddar Posted On : July 21st, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (IISc) (2016)

In IISc Bangalore, for certain programs, only the GATE scores are taken into consideration. For example- M.Tech (course) in CSA and SSA streams.

In the above-mentioned programs, you have to secure the top 50-100 rank in the GATE CS examination.

For M.Tech in some streams, and M.Tech (Research) and Ph.D. programs, IISc Bangalore uses the GATE score simply as a cutoff. The selection is done based on the written test and subsequent interview. The GATE cutoff for an interview call is relatively low. This is done with the idea that a good student who had a bad exam can still perform extremely well during the interview. For M.Tech/ Ph.D.  CS, this rank is equal to the top 500-1000 ranks(for those who apply), but it can go to 200 for other streams.

Your GATE scores and GPA during graduation become mostly irrelevant once you get called by IISc Bangalore for an interview. They can only work to make the interviewer biased toward/against you, this won’t happen unless you have significantly high or low scores respectively. What matters for your selection is if you can impress the interviewers with your knowledge of the topic(s) that you want to study/research.

Thus, if you go for a course at IISc Bangalore which makes selections through a written test and an interview, make sure to study your topic well and answer the interviewers with confidence.
