Ashoka was on the top of my list. I got selected for all 3 but went with my first choice ,Ashoka. I think Ashoka's application process is very rigorous in the sense of the SOPs, entrance test and the interview rounds. Instead of the entrance exams students from all academic backgrounds had the option of submitting their SAT scores. The first round was submitting the CV which consisted of SOPs and your academic scores and co curricular achievments. This is to access you as a student.
