What should a non-genius student do to get a seat at IIT Kanpur CS?
It’s good that you have a target in your mind and aren’t leaving everything to luck. The best way for a non-genius student to get a seat at IIT Kanpur's Computer Science program is to work hard and consistently. Rather than stating the usual; solving previous year question papers, joining good coaching institutes, coordinating school with coaching classes, and self-study, I will talk about some of the most basic things that people often undermine
- Whenever you feel you are falling into a slump, remind yourself that there are hundreds of students who want you to fail in order to grab your position. Remind yourself of this continuously and you will find yourself out of that bubble.
- It’s important to assess your own abilities and be honest with yourself rather than being overconfident. I have seen people who are confident with their academics end up with poor grades. Don’t undermine yourself but don’t even overestimate yourself. Remember you are surrounded by geniuses.
- Don’t get addicted to useless stuff and activities that waste your time. Instead, go for a walk or read for a break.
- You should have prepared yourself mentally and physically for the sacrifices you have to make and the efforts you have to invest.
- Study books that make you understand the concepts in a simpler manner yet give you a comprehensive understanding.
- Motivate yourself with the possible outcome and the reaction of your family. Keep yourself reminded of the happiness and success will harbor.
I would like to end the answer on a final note: There are no non-geniuses, just bad students who do not pay attention in class and bad teachers who do not teach well.
How can I get admission in BHU through a paid seat?
To know how to get admission to BHU through a paid seat, you must first know what exactly a paid seat is.
Every year BHU conducts entrance exams during the months of April, May and June. After this, the university releases the cutoff list. The students who fail to reach the cutoff but are just slightly below it are offered paid seats.
The admission process of both regular and paid seats is the same. A call letter will be sent for counseling.
The biggest drawback of paid seats is that the fees are extremely high compared to the regular ones.
Do all the students who score more than the BITSAT cutoff marks get into BITS Pilani, or does rank also play a role in the selection process?
To be eligible for admission at BITS Pilani, you will first have to meet the minimum eligibility criteria. After that, you are eligible to sit for the BITSAT examination.
Each year a certain cut-off mark is decided depending on the number of students appearing and the difficulty of the questions. Once you get a score above the cut-off marks, you will be eligible to sit for the counselling process. This is where the actual selection takes place.
You will be asked to give your preference for campus and engineering specialization. There will be multiple rounds of counselling after which you will be allocated your seat at one of the campuses and your engineering major based on your marks and preference list. If you do not like the campus or your major, then you can opt for the next round of counselling to get your preferred campus and major.
What is the percentile required to join IIM Ranchi?
The admission process for the flagship course of IIM Ranchi is done through CAP (Common Admission Process), which is conducted by IIM Rohtak for 9 IIMs.
IIM Ranchi has released the admission policy and selection criteria for its flagship MBA course. The qualifying CAT cut-off for the batch of 2022-24 is 93 percentile as per IIM CAP criteria. IIM Ranchi CAT Cutoff usually remains around the 92 Percentile. For the past 2 years the CAT Cutoff was 94 Percentile but this year it has been reduced.
However, the final shortlisting depends upon many parameters such as
- Your academic scores
- Work experience
- Personal Interview
- Written Ability Score.
If you are shortlisted and do well in WAT and PI, you can surely get admission in IIM Ranchi.
IIM Ranchi also has a PGDHRM course, for which it conducts its separate admission rounds, so you can apply for that as well.
What are my chances of getting into ISB, Hyderabad?
I have no information about your profile and cannot define your exact chances of getting into ISB Hyderabad. The selection process includes aspects like
- Work experience: ISB Hyderabad admission requires the candidates to have at least 2 years of work experience. In case you have no work experience, go for YLP admission and then join after 2 years.
- GMAT score: You should have a competitive GMAT or GRE score to make it into ISB Hyderabad.
- Extracurricular background: ISB Hyderabad focuses a lot on your extracurricular background and offers decent weightage to it.
- Admission essays: Your admission essays should be convincing enough for the ISB Hyderabad admission team to save a seat for you
- Interview: The last factor that determines your admission is the interview which evaluates your personal attributes.
Since you have no work experience, aim for a higher GMAT score and add extracurricular skills to your profile to increase your chances of admission.
Do IIT Guwahati organise spot round for M.Tech admissions?
No, the Department of Mechanical Engineering generally does not organize any spot admission for postgraduate courses. The first list is released after the initial counseling. The further lists are released depending on the seats available till that time. This procedure is repeated until the 4th list is released wherein the newly selected candidates have to take admission on the first day of registration, and classes start subsequently.
Occasionally, a change of specialization is allowed even after the commencement of classes although there is no provision for spot admission. However, sometimes instead of publishing the 4th list, the Department may go for Spot Admission to the waitlisted candidates. This once happened in 2015. It all depends on the vacancy and nothing is fixed.
Spot admission takes place in IIT Hyderabad and IIT Madras although there is no guarantee of any particular choice of streams even department.
How do I write career goal column while filling FMS Delhi application form?
You can fill the career goa column with points like these
- why are you better than the rest
- why did you choose FMS
- How is MBA related to achieving your goals
The first question can be answered by mentioning your strengths and weaknesses and how you have qualities and skills that others lack. You can speak about the goal-oriented mindset that has brought you to the interview room.
The answer to the next question can be written after talking to an alumnus of FMS. You can mention things like ROI or the low fees factor, the excellent faculty, and the accreditation with Delhi University. All these reasons made it almost impossible for you to not choose FMS.
The answer to the last question is a bit tricky as one necessarily does not have goals while pursuing MBA. Most people do it because many intellectuals are also doing so. And trust me this is not wrong. All you need is to trust the process and their intellect. One smart way to answer this question is to establish a past belief in how you have known it all along and how you made it. You can write your ultimate goal and also how this is just the starting point.
Some points to consider while writing these answers are
- Write the answers such that it reflects your true self
- Proofread the answers for connotations, interpretations and grammatical errors
Just know that this form is not the basis for shortlisting just a basis for the questions that will be asked to you.

Should I take admission in CUSAT?
Whether you should take admitted to CUSAT or not depends on your personal goals and what you are looking for in a university. CUSAT is highly-regarded in India, known for its strong programs in engineering, technology, and science. Its credibility can further be assessed through the ratio of North and South Indian students on the campus which is almost 50:50. This means CUSAT is well known only among South Indians but also among North Indians.
CUSAT has two campuses, one in Cochin SOE and another in Alleppey - CUCEK. The placement scenario is somewhat similar on both campuses.
Before getting admission here, you need to know that the only key to getting placed is good grades and no backs. You won’t be spoon-fed the professor's notes here and will have to survive on your own. If you are enthusiastic, then only come here.
However, you should research more about its program offerings to determine if they align with your interests and career goals.
Is it a big deal to study in NSIT?
No , honestly, after going through so much hard work and finally getting admission into NSUT, my brother realized that it wasn’t a big deal at all.
- Except for the IT and Mechanical departments, the classrooms are ordinary with no modern facilities.
- Hostels have no wifi connection The funds are misused. Instead of organizing fests and funding societies every year a path of greenery is added.
- The teachers focus more on the attendance of students rather than delivering concepts excellently.
- The college is surviving solely because of its affiliation with DU.
- The research culture is inactive and only a few teachers and researchers are genuinely focused.
- Apart from COE and IT, all other branches have heavy workloads with poor placements and internships.
- The institute does not offer any modern courses like machine learning, artificial intelligence, image processing, computer vision, data science etc
In all, you will be very disappointed when you end up in an institute like NSUT after going through sleepless nights to clear JEE. So don’t believe the rumors and fall for the fake brand image NSUT has built to attract students.
