What CAT percentile do I require to get calls from IIM Blackis, FMS, SP Jain, JBIMS and MDI Gurgaon?

AD
Anuraag Das Posted On : April 14th, 2023
Studied at MBA from NMIMS (2020)

For GEM, the CAT percentiles required to get an interview call from IIM Blackis, FMS, SP Jain, JBIMS, and MDI Gurgaon are 

  • ABC and FMS: Both institutes required nothing less than 99.5. Those who get admission at a lesser percentile, usually don’t belong to the GEM category. There are many who don’t even get a call with 99.3. So to stay on the safer side, go for nothing less than 99.5.
  • IIM Indore and Kozhikode: Both the institutes require percentiles around 97.5 for an interview call
  • SPJIMR: This Institute has unique selection criteria under which CAT is given less value and calls are issued on the basis of the candidate's profile. The CAT percentile required in this case is less than the normal if you have a good academic profile along with work experience,
  • MDI: This institute issues calls around the 96% mark.

It’s important to know that these figures are based on trends and not on actual data so you will find exceptions everywhere. Moreover, it’s better you don’t waste time analyzing the CAT cutoff and start preparing for the same.

Is IIT Kharagpur better than IIT Kanpur?

SN
Saugata Nayak Posted On : March 30th, 2023
Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (2020)

Almost all IITs are excellent engineering colleges providing the best education and amenities. Yet there might be some comparisons that can be drawn based on common aspects like choice, infrastructure, and geographical location. Eventually, it’s a matter of your preferences and not the institute's worth.

For example, if you are someone who considers Academics the most important factor to determine the credibility of an institute, then IIT Kanpur is the best choice for you. It has the toughest grading system and the entire focus is on studies. So if you are excellent in academics, you will remain at the top here.

Both institutes face a certain level of locational disadvantage but IIT Kanpur is still slightly better in this aspect.

What are some of the worst Delhi University colleges?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : June 7th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Delhi University is the most sought-after institute by students of graduation and postgraduation. Even though clearing cutoffs and securing a seat at DU is extremely challenging, certain colleges at Delhi University have failed to secure a favorable student opinion, either due to poor infrastructure, negligent faculty/ administration, or simply because of the poor neighborhood.

Some of these colleges, as suggested by a few friends of mine, are-

  • Ramanujan College, Kalkaji: Poor infrastructure in terms of classrooms and especially, the canteen area
  • Shaheed Rajguru College of Applied Sciences for Women
  • Acharya Narendra Dev College, Kalkaji: Poor infrastructure, poor canteen facilities, poor washroom facility. Not a pleasant neighborhood. Lab facilities are below par and equipments are very old. However, the teachers are very supportive. The admin section is not very helpful and supportive towards the students
  • Satyawati College
  • Some other colleges include- Shyam Lal College, Shri Aurobindo College, Deshbandhu College, PGDAV, Zakir Husain Delhi College, JDMC, Bharti College, Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar College, and Aryabhatta College

This list is subjective and some of the people have even been graduated 5 or 6 years ago. Colleges at DU undergo constant improvements in terms of administration, infrastructure, academics, and so on. It depends also upon individual taste as to which college one finds good or bad.

How can I get in AIIMS Delhi?

VM
Vedant Mishra Posted On : June 7th, 2023
MBBS from All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi

AIIMS Delhi admissions are now based on the NEET examination. The examination now tests a candidate’s accuracy and speed more than his mental abilities. 

  • Stick to NCERT and do not leave any details untouched
  • Read in-between the lines
  • Use one reference book or one coaching module. In case you find any topic difficult, refer to the reference book or coaching module
  • Practice your speed 
  • You need to have a good command of the language in which you will be giving your exam. This will enable you to understand what the question demands from you
  • If you have 6 months for your preparation, use 5 months to study, and the remaining one month to revise and practice mock tests
  • Take as many mock tests as you can to clear your exam with the required rank. Take at least 10 mock tests.
  • If your memorizing skills are good, give more time to Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, and Physics 
  • If your logical skills are good, give more priority to Biology and Inorganic Chemistry
  • Refer to your Physics manual and, for problems, practice using D.C. Pandey and for theory refer to H.C. Verma
  • 10-14 hours per day of dedicated preparation will get you through 
  • Stay hydrated, Keep a healthy sleep routine, and exercise

You must follow these basic practices and make sure to prepare with dedication and honesty to secure a position at AIIMS Delhi. Although the competition is high, with the proper routine you will be able to achieve a high enough rank to get into AIIMS Delhi.

Why is NIT Agartala so underrated?

PS
Prerona Sarkar Posted On : September 18th, 2023
B.Tech in EE from National Institute of Technology, Agartala (2018)

Upon joining NIT Agartala, I had a completely different experience from what I expected-

  • Accessibility- NIT Agartala is easily accessible. There are flights to Tripura, with discount rates too. There is also a direct train from Tripura to New Delhi. You won’t face any connectivity issues.
  • Mess food- The food is very good over there. Contrary to popular belief, you won’t face any problems regarding the food served.
  • Location- Tripura is a very peaceful state, and the campus offers a nurturing environment.
  • Surroundings- You’ll get fresh air, lots of open space, and good weather conditions at NIT Agartala.
  • Infrastructure- The college infrastructure is at par with top IITs and NITs. The hostels are filled with all facilities. Aryabhatta Hostel and Rabindranath Tagore Hostel are top-notch in terms of infrastructure.
  • Innovation Incubation Centre- ISRO built an innovation incubation centre at NIT Agartala. This has given the students an opportunity to work with the world’s leading space agency.
  • Equipment- The college has advanced equipment like EM, AFM, SEM, FESEM, XRD, Supercomputer, etc. It is difficult to access such machines, even at top institutions like BARC Mumbai and IIT Delhi.

NIT Agartala is probably underrated because people assume that its location and eating habits are very different. It is assumed that Tripura is inaccessible, and suffers communal riots. But all of these assumptions are baseless. 

NIT Agartala is a really good engineering college. It deserves much more praise and recognition. I owe all my success to this wonderful institution.

What German Universities give admissions through GATE?

AR
Aditri Roy Posted On : January 8th, 2021
Mechanical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology

German Universities are a great option for Indian students that are looking for well-designed academic courses in Engineering and Technology on a master’s level.

  • While the main exams that are required for admissions in German Universities are mandatory TOEFL scores and GRE in some institutions, there are some universities that also accept GATE scores.

  • Universities across Germany focus more on students’ academic performance as opposed to entrance test scores. Students are required to submit a subject-wise score sheet where they are then assessed based on the average credit score for each subject.

  • Additionally, GATE scores only help add to your academic transcripts and increase your credibility for admissions.

  • Students are selected based on their overall profile, including SOP, Resume, credit work, academic transcripts, work experience, entrance test scores, and more.

There are two major Universities in Germany where GATE scores are valid and can be submitted to enhance your profile.

Technical University of Munich (TUM):

  • Known to be one of the leading universities in Germany, TUM accepts GATE scores and require Indian students to additionally provide relevant IELTS or TOEFL scores along with it.

  • Students can apply for master’s programs in the faculty of Civil Engineering and Survey, Mechanical Engineering, Information Technology, and Electrical Engineering with a valid GATE score.

  • Apart from having good scores in GATE and TOEFL, students are also required to have relevant scores in a BTech degree in order to be considered for admissions at TUM.

  • The application process at the institute for the September semester begins in January.

RWTH Aachen University:

  • The university offers degrees in collaboration with the Imperial School of London and offers admissions for Master’s programs based on relevant IELTS/TOEFL and GATE scores.

  • The main faculties that accept GATE scores are Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Information Technology, Geophysics, Computer Engineering, and Automotive Engineering.

  • Students are required to have a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field of study in engineering.

  • Students must have a minimum score of 90 percentile in GATE.

  • Applications for the summer semester begin in September and the winter semester begins in March.

The given information should be helpful for students looking to apply to Universities in Germany with GATE scores.
