Why do people from Kozhikode prefer Mangalore for education despite having IIM and NIT?
Yes, despite having IIM and NIT, Kozhikode residents prefer Mangalore for education. That could be due to Mangalore's studious-yet-stress-free environment.
That could be due to Mangalore's studious-yet-stress-free environment. People in Mangalore differ from the nerds at IIM, IIT, or NIT who are always studying. There's also a disciplined approach to life there. They eat when they need to, sleep when they are required to, study when they have to, and have fun when it is possible. Unlike the IIM nerds, who have no concept of fun or sleep and keep on studying even while doing other stuff.
To get into IIM or NIT, you must work extremely hard, as nearly 60% of the brightest students in India aspire to attend IIM/NIT. As a result, there is intense competition. The exam is entirely merit-based (in addition, seat reservations are aplenty).
How’s metallurgy at NIT Raipur? Is it worth considering upgradation after the 1st year? What about M.Tech in IITs through the GATE?
One of my close friends graduated from NIT Raipur Metallurgy and did not find the branch worth the money he spent. The placement opportunities were rare and no exposure was offered. Most of his batchmates had to go for non-core options because only that would pay them well. Another major issue is that there are no coaching classes available in Metallurgy for GATE. The workload is considerably less than other branches. There are a few professors with excellent profiles like Neha Gupta who will assist you in genuine research work.
Honestly, I dont see a promising future in the field of Metallurgy so I will suggest you go for other options for branch change like Chemical and IT. Their placement scenarios are very promising and they are likely to be the next big thing after CS. In chemical, the GATE, and college placements have better vacancies while IT will help you in this world of Artificial intelligence.
Coming to the next part of your question, regarding MTech in IITs, I will suggest you only choose between IIT Bombay. Moreover, your chances of getting selected for a PSU increase through GATE in comparison to core branches because the competitors are plenty.

Why should I choose IIT Hyderabad over BITS Plink forces?
Here are a few reasons that might convince you to choose IIT Hyderabad over BITS
- Academics: IIT Hyderabad offers a better academic environment because of its fractal system. Additionally, its 3d printing in the 1st sem, virtual branch engineering science, and double major option after 3rd year make it an excellent choice in terms of academics.
- Infrastructure: In this aspect, BITS has a clear advantage over IIT Hyderabad which is still in its development stage. IIT Hyderabad lacks sports facilities as well as natural beauty.
- Sports: Owing to the inter-IIT sports fests, the sports culture at IIT Hyderabad is much better than at BITS.
- Hostel facilities: The hostels of both the institutes are equally good but the permanent hostels of IIT Hyderabad with single room occupancy, pod-culture, the radiant cooling system in summer, and the architecture of the hostels make it a clear winner
- Fest: Elan and nvision, the 2 IIT Hyderabad fests have a great reputation but BITS fests are at another level. Also, BITS has both technical and cultural fests whereas IIT Hyderabad has a single techno-cultural fest.
- Placements: The placement scenario at IIT Hyderabad is much better than BITS Pilani and is expected to improve in the coming future.
Ultimately, it’s a matter of preferences and my answers merely guide you in the same.
What are the chances of getting at IIM ABC, FMS, or XLRI if 10/12/grads' percentages are 65/82/65?
Admission to top management institutes in India such as IIMs, FMS, and XLRI is highly competitive and is based on multiple factors such as academic performance, work experience, entrance exam scores, and personal interviews. While academic performance is an important factor, it is not the only criterion for selection.
Here are some points to consider based on the academic percentages provided:
- Class 10 and 12 percentages: While class 10 and 12 percentages are not the primary criteria for selection, they are still considered during the screening process. A percentage of 65 in class 10 and 82 in class 12 is not considered very high, but it is not very low either. It is important to note that the final selection depends on multiple factors, including entrance exam scores and performance in personal interview rounds.
- Graduation percentage: Graduation percentage is a more critical factor for admission to management institutes. Most institutes have a minimum cut-off percentage for graduation, usually in the range of 50% to 60%. A percentage of 65 in graduation may not be competitive enough for top-tier institutes like IIM A/B/C, FMS, and XLRI. However, it is still possible to get admission if you have exceptional work experience or perform exceptionally well in the entrance exam and personal interview rounds.
- Entrance exam scores: Entrance exams like CAT, XAT, and GMAT play a significant role in the selection process. To get admission to the top-tier institutes, you need to score above the minimum cut-off for each institute. For example, IIMs usually have a cut-off of 99 percentile or higher for general category candidates. FMS Delhi has a cut-off of 97 percentile for CAT. XLRI has a cut-off of 95 percentile for XAT. So, your entrance exam scores are critical for getting shortlisted for the next rounds.
- Work experience: Most management institutes prefer candidates with some work experience. If you have relevant work experience, it can significantly boost your chances of getting selected, even if your academic percentages are not very high. Some institutes like FMS Delhi and XLRI have a higher weightage for work experience during the selection process.
In summary, while academic percentages are important, they are not the only criteria for selection. Your chances of getting into IIM A/B/C, FMS, or XLRI depend on multiple factors, including entrance exam scores, work experience, and performance in personal interview rounds. A percentage of 65 in 10th/12th and 65 in graduation may not be very competitive, but you can still improve your chances by performing exceptionally well in the entrance exam and having relevant work experience.
Does a BBA grad of a 3rd tier college (IMS Dehradun) stand any chance of IIM/FMS/XLRI selection?
The profile of a BBA graduate from a 3rd tier college that is IMS Dehradun is a below-average profile but when compared to the profile of all MBA aspirants, it’s not that bad as there is every kind of student who wants to pursue an MBA both better and worse than a BBA graduate from a 3rd tier college.
Instead of giving up or dropping a year, you should prepare for the entrance exam, opt for the coaching or online classes, prepare well and give the exam once.
People seem to have this notion that graduation from college somehow affects your chance to get admission at top B-Schools. This is not true at all and B-Schools looks at profile, not college.
So, study hard and secure a good percentile in entrance exams. If you score high enough, you can definitely get admission to these colleges.
Will I be able to take an education loan easily in IET Lucknow? I have a three year gap and I am a poor student.
As one of my friends was a student at IET Lucknow, from her experience I can for sure tell you that it is really hard for you to get admission in most of the colleges with a gap of three years. In addition to that, to get shortlisted for admission at IET Lucknow, you will have to appear in the UPSEE exam and perform really well in it.
- Talking about the education loan part, if you can secure a seat at the institution, getting an education loan will not be an issue.
- You can easily avail of it since IET Lucknow is considered a reputed institution in the market.
- Also, you will get leverage in availing an education loan since it is a government college.
- You can approach various government banks and put forward your problem, keep Vijaya bank as your priority as it is inside the campus of IET Lucknow.
- You can also visit any of the private sector banks and explain to them that it is ranked at no.1 college under AKTU, as HBTI is a deemed university now.
I would recommend you to first learn about the procedure of availing a loan, the interest rates, how much to pay, the time after which you will have to start repaying the loan, etc. Having prior knowledge of all these will be better otherwise you might get fooled.
Additionally, keep a valid income certificate with yourself. You can apply for the scholarships provided by the UP government. Most of the IET Lucknow students avail of the scholarship under the state government.
How are CV points and extracurricular activities verified in SPJIMR by the placement committee?
In SPJIMR, the CV points and extracurricular activities are verified through the submission of proofs that verify the credibility of the CV.
Emails: The most common method is through emails from managers or other authoritative people. The students send an email to the manager and request him to verify the points he has mentioned in the CV. If the person addressed the response through his official email id claiming that points are verified, the placement committee cross-checks the contents of the CV with the approval email and then finally approves it. Every single work in the CV is approved in a similar manner.
OTP Method: This method is most suitable when the managers have left the organization. For them, a One Time Password approach is followed wherein their identity is first verified using LinkedIn, after which an OTP is sent on their mobile number which is to be sent by the manager via email thereby validating their identity.
Certificates: Many points on the CV can be verified through Original Certificates or documents.

Can one get a seat in IIM Indore without having maths in class 12th?
My elder brother completed his education at IIM Indore. So I think I can answer your question.
IIM Indore provides an IPM (Integrated Program in Management) course after you complete your high school education. It's a five-year program that has proven to be really beneficial. In those five years, you'll have acquired comprehensive management skills. Math is required in this course. So, students coming from a Math background do have an advantage. But there are students with non-mathematical backgrounds too. So, you can definitely have a seat at IIM Indore, even if you didn’t have maths in 12th.
But don't be discouraged, the MBA and PGDM programs do not require math in class 12; all you need to do is pass the CAT exam. You'll need to study hard for that, as it's a competitive and difficult exam. So plan beforehand and give it your all. IIM Indore is an amazing institute, and it is well worth your time to study there.
