What are the chances of getting an IIM with academics 88/70/65, and how much percentile should I get to get a chance for older IIMs?

PT
Pragya Tripathi Posted On : February 2nd, 2023
MBA from Institute of Rural Management, Anand (Graduated 2020)

It is understandable that your 12th and graduation scores are not up to the mark for the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) A, B, and I. Even IIM L may also be difficult for you to secure a call from because of your low scores. However, it is important for you to know that there are other options available to you. Even though it may be challenging, it is still possible to secure a call from IIM C and IIM K with a very high CAT score of 99.9 or above. Unfortunately, it seems that IIM Shillong may also not be an option for you due to your low score in 12th.

Given this situation, it is advisable for you to give your best effort in preparing for the Common Admission Test (CAT) and also consider appearing for other entrance exams like the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) and the Xavier Aptitude Test (XAT). With a decent CAT score of 99.8 or above, you may have a chance at prestigious institutes like the Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), the Management Development Institute (MDI), and some Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).

Additionally, keep in mind that the weightage of the entrance exam and interview is very high for IIFT, so it is important for you to prepare well for that as well.

It is worth mentioning that, although your current scores may seem like a setback, it does not mean that your aspirations should be limited. Keep in mind that there are many other options available, and with hard work and determination, you can still achieve your goals. Remember to keep your head held high and keep pushing forward.

Girls are usually allocated to the new campus. Each hostel block has seven floors, with no rooms on the ground floor, and rooms on 6 floors only. Each floor has 32 rooms. So approximately, 192 students live in one block.

Some key highlights of the hostel are

  • Dwelling Design: IIT Hyderabad’s hostel architecture is designed by the Japanese who have used Dwelling Design. This helps the equal amount of breeze flow in all the rooms irrespective of the location of the room and direction of airflow.
  • Radiant Cooling: The walls and ceiling of the hostel rooms have hidden pipes that have cold water running through them. The temperature of this water is controlled depending on the season and outside temperature. This keeps the room warm in winter and cool in summer.
  • Washrooms: Each floor is divided into 4 comprising 8 rooms each. Every pod has two bathrooms, two urinal pots, and two toilets.
  • Toilets: Out of the 2 washrooms, one is Indian and one is Western. There are motion sensor lights in the hostel washrooms. There are both hot and cold water options available 24/7.

How would you arrange these in terms of education quality- CBIT, VASAVI, MVSR, VNR, SNIST, MGIT, GRRR?

AR
Arpit Rastogi Posted On : June 14th, 2021
Studied at VNR Vignana Jyothi Institute of Engineering And Technology

All these colleges are good at their own places and in terms of ranking. It becomes difficult to arrange these colleges in terms of education quality as everyone possesses a good hold on education.

The quality is the same and it all depends upon the students. There are few who don’t get a job even after 3 years of grad and while some are hard workers.

Let’s take a look below at the arrangement of these colleges: CBIT>VASAVI> MVSR >VNR >SNIST>MGIT>GRRR

These particular colleges contain what matters the most. They have the best professors as they need to maintain their repo. One of my friends is an alumnus from VNR and told me that these colleges have everything that you would want into Engineering.

VASAVI too has its own ways, which do well. CBIT and SNIST are also good. CBIT and VNR are a little freedom-giving. None of the four compromises on the students’ education track record.

How is a paper evaluation done in Anna University?

RT
Rajat Tokas Posted On : December 16th, 2022
Worked at Anna University, Tamil Nadu, India

Initially, you must avoid studying with the expectation that you will automatically receive an S. This tactic might fail at times. The following are some of the key points:

  • Grading of the internal exam:

Highly unexpected. The outcome is unpredictable. You will succeed as long as you are the lecturer's favorite student. You have access to your internal answer sheets, so you can check for errors.

Lecturers can select results from any assignment, unexpected test, or presentation to evaluate their internals. Never offend your lecturer; otherwise, your chances of receiving good internal marks will be greatly reduced.

  • Practical examinations.

If you excel at practical work, you may wind up doing all the work in your group and ultimately receive an equal evaluation. In all honesty, nobody really cares how knowledgeable you are. They don't bother as long as your answer sheets, practical book, and reports satisfy their requirements. The e-assignments aren't even examined for plagiarism or other forms of cheating. They may request CDs containing your assignments or reports, but they won't even get to their systems' drives.

  • External examinations.

Some professors who excel in their fields generally receive fair evaluations. There are times when it may even seem as though the entire class received the same grade. You are never given access to the actual answer sheet, so there is no way to know for sure how they will score you.

Instead of worrying about how to get good grades, focus on mastering the subject by understanding it in a detailed manner. Although mastering every subject is immensely challenging, it is possible to be an expert in at least two or three of them. It will undoubtedly be beneficial in the long run.

M.A. in Economics, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

It is advised to look for a regular university for a Master in Economics, such as DSE or JNU.

If you don't have any other options, take admission here. There is nothing difficult for economics students to achieve good grades in MA Economics.

The exams are mostly graduation-based, but you must be certain that you understand everything you were taught during your graduation. You must not overlook any important terms, theories, concepts, or anything else.

If you are taking the MA economics exam for the first time at IGNOU, read everything you learned in graduation as well as the materials provided by IGNOU.

Sneha Paul Sam Posted On : October 12th, 2022
English honors student BA final year

To begin, one must mentally prepare to continue reading newspapers every day and attempting to comprehend editorial opinions and social issues. It would be beneficial to read some philosophy books based on your own understanding, thereby increasing your ability to think about society in terms of how well-educated people perceive women, girls, and people's difficulties. A good understanding of General Studies and your 12th-class texts from the Arts field is required.

What is the average package at IIT, Kharagpur for applied geology?

SG
Senjuti Gupta Posted On : March 22nd, 2023
studied at IIT Kgp

The average packages of “Applied Geology” or any other branch apart from CS, ECE, EE, and MnC are highly misleading as they include both core and non-core jobs with non-core jobs forming the majority.

In reality, IIT campus placements offer very few core jobs in certain departments and Applied Geology Is one of them. So most of the students tend to go for Non-Core jobs related to their field of interest like Coding, Finance, Data Analysis, etc. The number of companies offering core jobs in departments such as Mechanical or Chemical is very low. So out of the entire batch, only toppers are offered core jobs while the rest go for non-core jobs. The placement percentage is a combination of both these jobs and thus cannot tell you specifically about the placements of that particular department.

On an average batch size of 25-30 students, only 4-5 get core jobs in Applied Geology while the rest get non-core jobs. So your skills and abilities matter a lot during such branch placements. The median salary of Applied Geology is around INR 15 LPA and some top recruiters include Capgemini, Cipla, Cognizant, Genpact, IBM, ICICI, Just dial, Oil India Limited, YesBank, and more.
