B.Tech. from Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (2020)

Getting selected for the summer internship program at IIT Roorkee is based on luck, hard work, and good communication skills. You need to fill out the form a year before October.

  • The first step is to contact the professors under which you will begin doing your internship. Their personal information is available in the Faculty profiles option on the website. It’s better to contact the new professors to increase the chances of the internship.
  • Prepare a 5-page report describing the project you are willing to work on and how it will benefit society. Once you are done, send the same along with your application form and NOC to the professor
  • Remind him to send all the documents to the HOD on time
  • The final intern list is released around February so all you can do is wait till then.

Once your name appears on the list, you need to go to IIT Roorkee right after your end-semester exams in May.

How tough is getting into JBIMS?

MT
Milind Thakur Posted On : February 20th, 2023
Student of Life

It certainly is quite tough to get into JBIMS, especially for the full-time MMS Program. I’ve r the last few years JBIMS witnessed 3 admission procedures

Percentile required 99.5: Initially followed an admission procedure that included CET (200) + GD (17) + PI (17) + Past Academic Record (2) + Work Experience (2). This procedure was discontinued around 2012. Only 120 students were allotted a seat out of 10000 and the percentile required was around 99.5.

Percentile required 99.85: This admission procedure did not include the GD-PI round and the admission was done solely on the basis of a written test. This was a book for candidates who had average academic backgrounds and were very excellent in written English. However, this process could not focus on soft skills and other aspects of the candidate's profile so were discontinued. 

Autonomous Procedure: The current procedure is an autonomous one wherein the CAT/CET scores are considered along with GD PI WAT rounds. The weightage given to the written test has been reduced so as to enable candidates with lower percentile like 98.9 to get a chance too. They can prove themselves in the GD-PI round and hence make it into JBIMS. Approximately from every GE one candidate gets admission. One may think this is easy when in reality the competition is extremely tough due to the quality of the candidates. Each one of them is talented in one or the other areas and gives an edge to the other. There is no safe score as one may not get in even after scoring 99 percentile whereas one may get admitted even with 98 percentile. It all depends on your overall profile.

If I have 3 backlogs in 1st year then would I be eligible for 2nd year in Pune university?

PK
Pari Kawale Posted On : October 4th, 2021
Studied at Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering,Pune (2017)

According to the present pattern, SPPU follows the credit system. In order to pass the exam, you have to score a credit score of more than 25. Doing so will help you to pass even if you have backlogs in subjects if you get a combined credit score of more than 25. 

You will be promoted to 2nd year along with the backlogs which must be cleared in the next examinations. Try not to get any backlog as it is mandatory to clear all past backlogs to get to 3rd year.

What is an ideal percentile in CAT to get into IIM Indore? I have scored 82 % in 10th and 75 % in 12th currently pursuing my graduation (non-eng), category - OBC.

HJ
Himanshi Jain Posted On : June 2nd, 2023

The overall and sectional CAT cutoffs for IIM Indore are 80 and 70 respectively for OBC category. The cutoffs remain the same each year with slight variation. IIM Indore is one of the few top colleges that don’t give much importance to CAT Scores. If your cat percentile is decent enough to get a call from IIM Indore, the ball is in your court. It gives 40% weightage to your Personal Interview which makes it easier for you to convert your call. Your acads are decent, just focus on your GK and be thorough with your resume.

What are the chances of converting NMIMS Mumbai call?

RP
Rohit Pandey Posted On : February 28th, 2023
MBA from SVKM's NMIMS (Graduated 2018)

Compared to other entrance exams, NMAT is a relatively easier one. But because most students that sit for NMAT want to get into NMIMS so the competition is tough. So just getting across the cutoff is not sufficient, you need to aim for the highest.

The other aspects of the admission process through NMAT include

  • NMAT score
  • Personal Interview
  • Case Discussion
  • Academic record
  • Work Experience
  • Academic/Gender diversity

One needs to keep certain points regarding NMAT in mind. Firstly an excellent score does not guarantee admission. You have to ace the CD and PI rounds as well. But overall the chances of conversion are high due to high intake provided that you perform well in CD and PI. Separate rounds of CD and PI are held for Core and HRM. Also, NMIMS has a 30% reservation for girls.

Some tips that will increase your chances of conversion to NMIMS are

SOP: Your Statement of Purpose should clearly state why MBA, that too from NMIMS. It should state valid reasons as to why you should be selected over other students by mentioning your unique traits.

Case Discussion: The Case Discussion round is more to analyze your personality than your knowledge. So follow the rules throughout and give 2-3 solid points and give others an equal opportunity. Don't validate your opinion rudely at all.

Personal Interview: The interview is usually conducted by 3 panelists. If you have work experience, you will be questioned regarding that. For instance your role in your previous company and achievements. They will also question your goals after your MBA and which industry you have chosen and why. To stay on the safer side, be well-versed in current affairs. Also, don’t lose your calm at any given moment.

Indian institute of Management Ranchi, Class of '17

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.

What are my chances of getting into ISB, Hyderabad?

GG
Gaurav Gupta Posted On : January 30th, 2023
MBA Marketing, Indian School of Business (2018)

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.
