The eligibility for it is completed 10th class in public or private sector school. During corona time we have entrance test with 100 marks. Cut off marks are different based upon cast's. Application fees is also different for different cast's. Very simple application process. Go to the meeseva and apply for IIIT RGUKT. If you get good marks in SSC. Based upon your marks and caste you can enter into the college. When I written the exam , it is not very difficult. But the IIIT always not conduct the exam.

Actually the admissions are taken based on the 10th board marks of students. But if I talk about my admission, it was different. Iam a corona batch passed student. No 10th class board exams were conducted to us. So we entered RGUKT by taking a cet exam. I got an overall rank of 1400 in the cet exam and I got seat in RGUKT, Nuzvid. But now the admissions are purely based on the 10th board marks. You can check the admissions process in www.rgukt.in. The admissions for the academic year 2024-25 are in progress right now. The reservation is also applicable.

I joined at the time of Covid 19 , I attempted an entrance test and got some good rank and entered into this college, but now board exams are conducting, so the marks are main thing to enter into this college. The admission process is too long that's the one I didn't like.
As the institute is below average, but there have been students from RGUKT who have cracked the CAT exam in the past. CAT is considered one of the grinding MBA entrances. There were around 75 alumni who sailed through CAT. Most of them had percentiles that were above 98 and got admission in top B-schools like IIM A, B, C, K, and more.
You can prepare for the CAT from the last year of your engineering degree. You need to understand the syllabus and practice solving the past papers. Many academies, like Kish Academy, conduct seminars about CAT. They give insights about how to prepare and what it takes to clear the exam.
For the dream institute, IIM A, you need to score 99.9+ to get a call as an engineer. Even after receiving the call for an interview, you should ace the interview round.
If you are prepared and well-practiced, you will be able to score excellent percentile. You do not have to fear the institute from where you completed your graduation.
