What is the lowest cutoff for new IIM?
IIM cut-off or minimum CAT score percentile required by prospective students to be eligible for the WAT/PI round of IIMs. The IIM cut-offs vary from Category to category as well as Institute to Institute. The minimum CAT cut-off for IIMs for the General category is usually 95-100, and the cut-off for reserved category students is 85-95. However, with a stellar profile, even a percentile below 95 can fetch you a call.
The estimated IIM CAT cutoff for IIM admission 2023-25 has been tabulated below. It’s important to note that the actual cut-offs may be higher.

How difficult is it to get a PhD from IISc Bangalore?
Well, getting a Ph.D. from IISc is indeed difficult. In my opinion, the true meaning of a Ph.D. is investing your entire efforts, time, and knowledge in one specific region. In India though, Ph.D. is just considered a degree one can achieve by publishing some paper in some conference or journal. The quality of these papers is poor and substandard bringing down the sort of the degree.
However, IISc being a prestigious institute has managed to maintain the dignity and credibility of the degree so far. You need to prepare yourself for committing to hard work and high-level dedication. Know that your next 5-6 years will be spent proving and disproving every hypothesis possible and conducting infinite experiments.
As a Ph.D. student, you will be publishing a few journals in top international forums and also writing your own thesis, which will culminate your entire work and present it before other researchers and professors of the institute. You will then be assessed thoroughly. Only after proving your point strongly and convincing them will you be able to get the degree.
During this whole time, you will face many struggles dealing with your PI and securing funds for your research work. But trust me the result will be worth the effort!
What is the current scenario of NIT Puducherry?
My brother is from NIT Pondicherry and so I can give you an insight into the recent scenario at the campus.
- It boasts a new 256-acre campus with the best hostel and mess facilities. The rooms are pretty large, well-furnished, and spotless.

- Every month, faculty and students host a series of cultural and academic events.
- All of the professors, lecturers, and lab assistants are really helpful.
- Placements aren’t as good as they could be compared to big institutions, but they’re still good and getting better every year. To get a good job, also depends on your caliber and skills
You’ll be able to meet students from all around India, as well as from other countries.
What is happening in NIT puducherry?
I have a few friends from NIT Puducherry and according to them, students in NIT-P are facing difficulties due to the negligence of the administration.
The basic facilities are not provided. The administration is solely focused on increasing the number of courses in the institute. The institute lacks proper classrooms, hostel rooms and accommodation, water facilities, and a proper power supply. Even the basic amenities of the students are not being fulfilled.
There is also a transportation problem from the institute side. They have very few numbers of vehicles when compared to the number of students. Students on average waste about 5 hours per day due to the transportation problem.
But the situation is getting better slowly, now that it has moved to its own campus. Many of the important structures like the science block and hostels are built already.
How is RUHS Medical College Jaipur?
My brother studied at RUHS Medical College and his experience was not good. Being a new college, we cannot judge it too soon but the professors are willing and friendly. They can help you and their mode of teaching is amazing as well.
The college lacks in co-curricular activities, however, the fests are amazing. There are sports competitions as well, like a football match between juniors and seniors and don't forget the location of Jaipur- it's beautiful!
RUHS collaborates with Jaipuria hospital and now has its own hospital as well! RUHS used to have 100 seats, but it increased to 150 in 2019, so that helps because the cut-off is very high.
How is the hostel and mess facility at JIPMER?
I am an alumnus of JIPMER. Here are the details on the hostel and mess facilities at JIPMER.
Most hostels are located in the hostel complex. The male UG students get rooms in Osler House, Lister House or Intern's Boys Hostel. The Intern’s Boys Hostel is newly built and has better rooms.
Each hostel has a study room, a recreational room, and good wifi facilities. The Intern’s Boys hostel has good and spacious rooms. The hostel rooms are two seater rooms.The Intern’s Boys Hostel has attached washrooms, but Osler and Lister have common washrooms. Each hostel room has a balcony. There is a parking space behind the hostels.
There are two major messes on campus. The Common Mess offers both North and South Indian meals. Additional food items are available at cheap prices. The common mess operates till late night.
Harvey Mess serves South Indian meals only. They serve delicious chicken items that are available at cheap prices. Some external kitchens also offer mess service for students. Other than messes, the canteens (EMS Cafeteria and Lister Canteen) offer good meals at affordable prices. The food served at each of the messes and canteens is of good quality.
JIPMER offers good hostel and mess facilities overall.
How is the mess at IIT Roorkee, Rajendra Bhawan?
My brother recently completed his graduation from IIT Roorkee and was all praise for the food served at the hostel mess.
Breakfast: The breakfast served at IIT Roorkee’s Rajendra Bhavan comprises bread, jam every day, an option between egg and butter, and any item like Paratha, Maggi, pasta, or poha depending on the menu. Occasionally, sprouts, watermelon slices, and papaya pieces are also served.
Wednesday and Sunday night special meals are served, including Paneer Butter Masala or Chilli Paneer served with Gulab Jamun or Ice cream. On occasions like Dussehra, Naan, and Paneer curry are served.
If I want to go into Techno India or the Heritage Institute of Technology of West Bengal through the management quota then how much money may I be asked to pay?
Taking donation money depends on how many seats are available. The donation fee will be high for the streams that have a lot of demand.
However, if there are seats that are vacant, you can try spot counseling and you will not be charged at all for this except for the fee required for admission.
The money that you might be asked to pay can vary depending on the financial situation of the candidates. Getting in touch with the management facility will help you in getting a clear idea. Keep in mind, however, that people who opted for the management quota had to pay huge amounts of money.
Almost 10% of the seats were kept aside for management quota candidates and they are given on the basis of ‘first come first’. Some people got admitted without paying anything at all except for the admission fee and some had to pay huge amounts of money to get in.
Another thing about getting admission through quota is you may lag behind your peers. Even if you do get admission, a lot depends on you as well.
Which university is better: West Bengal State University or Calcutta University?
Calcutta University is widely reputed all across the nation for academics and research. If you have to choose between West Bengal State University and CU, choose CU. However, you should prioritize your subject over the university. For undergraduate degrees, your subject will matter more than the brand value of the university.
