What are my chances of getting a PROFILE based call from SPJIMR (SP Jain Institute of Management and Research)?
SPJIMR usually expects an all-rounder profile from its candidates. A profile is said to be good if
- Excellent Academics; 90%+ on Boards and 80%+ in Graduation
- A great extracurricular background; For instance, Senior diploma in arts/national level winner in swimming, quiz, debate

All three or at least 2 of these shall guarantee or increase your chances of admission considerably for a profile-based call from SPJIMR. An additional ground to score well is the application form wherein you are required to fill in about yourself. If your matter appeals to the selection committee you can surely wait for a call. The admission process further comprises two group interviews, essays, and psychometric tests.
We can safely conclude that SPJIMR focuses on an overall good profile and not just high scores.

Can an average student get into IIFT?
Yes, an average student or even a below-average student can get into IIFT. As the past academic scores are not as important as the entrance marks and the student’s performance in GD/PI at IIFT. If you can secure high marks in the entrance examination conducted by IIFT and create a lasting impression in the GD/PI round, then you can get admitted into IIFT as well as other top-rated B-schools.
Useful Tips:
- The quant section in the entrance examination is not that tough; you can easily clear the cutoff by answering 4/5 questions right.
- To clear the GK cutoff your reading capability should be good. Reading newspapers can be helpful for GK. It will also help you during GD since most of the topics given during GD are from current affairs.
Here is the question pattern of the 2020 IIFT entrance paper:
|
Section |
Total number of questions |
|
General Knowledge and current affairs |
20 |
|
Quantitative ability |
25 |
|
Data interpretation and logical reasoning |
30 |
|
Verbal ability and reading comprehension |
35 |
Thus, keeping this structure in mind, you can prepare your own plan of approach. If you can score high marks in the entrance and nail the GD/PI round, then your previous performance won’t hold much weight. According to the popular norm of average percentage i.e. 75%, the student can still secure a seat for himself/herself per their entrance score.
What is the eligibility criteria for an MA in economics admission at DU?
There are two main ways to get admission to the Delhi School of Economics (232 seats): direct admission (50%) and entrance test (50%): -
-
Direct Admission (116 seats) - Any applicant who has previously completed a B.A. (Hons.) in Economics from the University of Delhi with a minimum of 60% marks is eligible to apply in this category. Admissions under this category, on the other hand, are given to those who have had a very good academic record during their graduation. This admissions category is similar to the undergraduate cutoff system.
-
Entrance Test (116 seats) - Anyone with a 60% average in graduation/postgraduate studies (any subject from any recognised university) is eligible to take the entrance test.
Can I apply to a DU college in the second cut off even if I was eligible for the first cut off but did not take admission at that time?
Yes, you can still apply for college admission. All you need to do is bring all necessary documents, but keep in mind that you will be marked as a Defaulter (a Defaulter student fails to appear in the previous cut-off when he was meeting the requirements).
According to University Regulations, a defaulter can only take admission on the third day of that particular cut-off.
You should go to the college where you want to enroll on the first day and follow the admissions procedure. You are suggested not to tell any teacher about the same because teachers sometimes forget to check if students are defaulters or not. If anyone gets to know, then you will have to come back again on the third day of admission.
Can I do MBA from IIM Ahmedabad after BSc?
As long as you fulfill all the criteria required to get admission to IIM Ahmedabad, your academic background does not matter. That being said, here are the requirements to get shortlisted for IIM Ahmedabad admission.
- 80% above in 10th and 12th (any specialized subject)
- 70% above in graduation (any stream)
- 98 CAT percentile (may be lower, depending on your graduation course)
Anyone who has fulfilled the above criteria is eligible to get admission to IIM Ahmedabad. What actually matters is your performance in GD/PI. However, it’s important to note that the above criteria are general and the chances of admission depend on the individual profiles and performances. Fulfilling these criteria increases your chances of admission to IIM Ahmedabad but does not guarantee it.
An extra point to remember for you is that you will be getting diversity points because of your BSC background. This will help you get admission even with a low CAT score compared to engineering or BCom students. AS An BSc student, you will have to make the interviewers believe that you ha always targeted an MBA and not an MSc.
Do you know anyone who got into a top b-school (IIMs, XLRI, JBIMS, NM, IIFT, FMS etc.) with average UG percentage?
Yes, I do know a friend who managed to get calls from many top B Schools despite having an average Undergraduate Score. Her profile looked like this
- 10th- 76%
- 12th- 68%
- UG- 64%
Although her marks witnessed a gradual decline, she was lucky enough to study at XLRI. Past academics are considered as one but not the major factors at XLRI, unlike IIMs that focus a lot on past academics. A good XAT and GD-PI score can compensate for your poor academic record at XLRI, FMS, and JBIMS. NITIE is a top B School that does not consider past academics at all. My friend with her average profile managed to convert NITIE, XIMB, and all the IIMs except for the top ones obviously. So we can safely assume that admission into these top B Schools is possible even with an average profile provided that you score excellently in the CAT or XAT and the GDPI round.
What is the passing criteria in Thapar (complete)?
There are a number of criteria that Thapar University students need to fulfill in order to pass. A few of them have been listed below
- Students have to maintain a minimum of 75% attendance including tutorials, lectures, and labs. Students who don’t fulfill this criterion face detention and have to repeat the course next semester.
- Students have to score 33 marks after combining tutorials, practicals, quizzes, and semester exams. However, they will still pass the subject if they score less than 33% at the End of semester or any other exam.
- Students scoring between 33 and 27 in one subject, and more than 33 in others, get a D grade without repeating the course.
- Students scoring between 33 and 30 in two subjects, and more than 33 in others, get D grades in both subjects
- Students who fail to fulfill the above 2 criteria get an E grade in a subject and can appear for an exam, the marks of which are substituted as END SEM marks. If your marks become more than 33, then you get a D grade in the subject,
- If a student fails to secure more than 33 even after this exam, then they have to repeat the subject in the next semester and they will be getting a D grade on passing the subject.
Hope this helped you!
What should be a safe GMAT score for me to get selected for ISB Hyderabad?
Based on your profile, it seems that you have accomplished a lot and your profile is unique compared to others. Therefore, it is suggested that a score above 700 on the GMAT would be a safe score. To be extra cautious, a score of 720 or higher would be ideal.
You don't need to add anything to your profile, but rather subtract any unnecessary information.
The Admissions Committee is primarily interested in understanding three key aspects of you on a deeper level:
- YOU
They want to understand who you are as a person. What motivates you? What are your passions? How do you stand out from others?
- YOUR GOAL
- WHY ISB
