Is IMI Delhi a profile-based college?
You should be aware that the selection process of IMI Delhi is quite stringent. IMI Delhi is ranked 14th position among the top B schools in India, and its selection process is different from other top B schools. They give less weightage to your CAT score and have an extempore round as well. This round is not so difficult, but it may vary according to your profile, as they want a diverse background in their institute. They try to test your overall personality by checking your academics, team spirit, leadership, communication skills, how you react to a given situation, and many other small tests to decide whether you are eligible for their college or not.
It's important to note that every top college wants the best students to become future leaders in the corporate world, but luck also plays a role in the selection process. If your academic score is not good, but you impress them with some other talent you have, they will not deny you admission because they want diversity.
In a nutshell, most of the top 30 colleges do an overall screening before admitting students because they want the best in you. Therefore, if you want to get into a top B-school like IMI Delhi, you should work on developing your overall personality and showcasing your talents apart from good academics and a CAT score.
Does IIM Ranchi PGDHRM have a sectional cutoff?
IIM Ranchi has Sectional as well as Overall cutoff. The cutoff for 1st Stage of Shortlisting is decided by the Candidate’s Valid Scores in the CAT Examination. While for the Final Selection, CAT Percentile, Performance in Personal Interviews followed by Academic & Gender Diversity is considered.
There is a huge weightage on work experience. This is because I have seen instances where freshers were rejected despite a 99 percentile while people with experience of 2-3 years were selected despite 90-93 percentile.
Does graduation percentage matter in selection at IIM Calcutta?
Yes, the graduation percentage is taken into consideration for selection at IIM Calcutta. The very first step of the admission process requires shortlisting of candidates for the personal interview. These candidates are shortlisted on the basis of the following criteria:
-
CAT score: 70% weightage
-
Past Academic Record: 30% weightage
So 30% of your chances depend upon your 10th, 12th, and Graduation scores.

Which is preferred: IIT Bombay SJMSOM, or newer IIMs like Trichy, Ranchi, etc?
If you are considering attending a top 20 college in India and are looking for a competitive atmosphere, good infrastructure, a strong alumni network, and high salaries upon graduation, then IITB SJMSOM may be the better choice. However, it's worth noting that some of the courses offered at newer IIMs, such as IIM Trichy or IIM Ranchi's HR program, have gained a lot of recognition in recent years. While these institutes may not yet have the same level of prestige or alumni network as IITB, they should not be underestimated.
It's important to remember that salary outcomes are largely dependent on individual performance in business school. Even if you attend a younger IIM, you may still be offered a lower salary than a top-performing student at IITB if your results are not as strong. Ultimately, the best choice for you will depend on your personal priorities and the specific programs and resources offered at each institution.
How, as an alumnus of IIT (BHU) Varanasi, can help our college become a better (hopefully the best) college?
If you are working in Google or Microsoft or any top tier companies or any company, as a matter of fact, you can conduct coding contests, you can invite the top three performers for internships or motivate them in some way. You can also conduct workshops and help students prepare for placements.
If you doing your Ph.D. in some foreign university, you can guide the students about how to go about research and the trend that is going on in the research field, so that the interested students can focus on the things necessary to achieve the same. You can also help in collaborating with your university with IIT BHU.
Other than that you can always contribute to alumni funds and help in placements and internships. You can also donate books to the library. If you are successful in your field you can hold webinars or seminars and motivate the students. If you have your own startup you can recruit students for your company rather than going for other IITs. This would also increase the placement percentage of the institute. You can also provide internships. You can support talented students belonging to poor families in any way that might help them.
How good is it to join CSE at IIT Mandi instead of EEE at the Pilani campus of BITS?
Institute-wise, BITS Pilani is much better than IIT Mandi. But branch-wise, both CSE and EEE are equally good with CSE at a slighter advantage.
From this, we can infer that BITS Pilani EEE is a better choice. The placement scenario of both the branches is the same and that’s when the institute's credibility comes into play.
Many top firms recruit only from old IITs and BITS Pilani and new IITs are not even considered by these top companies. There is a stark contrast between placement scenarios of old and new IITs in terms of the package and roles offered.
I feel students are initially unaware of their actual interests and so it’s better to target a better college than a better branch. BITS Pilani EE fulfills all the criteria and offers a plethora of placement options that might not be available in new IITs like IIT Mandi.
As far as the IIT tag is concerned, the increasing number of new IITs has diluted its brand value. The IIT tag brand value rests with the old IITs only and the new IITs are not that respected. Companies prefer students from institutes like BITS Pilani or IIIT Hyderabad rather than new IITs.
How would you rank IIT Hyderabad, IIT Guwahati , IIT Patna and IIT Gandhinagar, and why?

- IIT Gandhinagar offers an array of undergraduate and postgraduate courses for you to choose from.
- It is ranked at 18th position out of 200 colleges by NIRF ranking.
- The placement records for IIT Gandhinagar are also pretty good with a 76.22% placement rate.
- The median package offered to B.Tech & M.Tech students is INR 16 LPA & INR 13.75 LPA for the year 2023.
- Some of the top recruiters are Cred, DE Shaw, Oracle, Accenture, Amazon, Amul, Cognizant, Byjus, Deloitte, Adobe, and more.
