Is there anyone who got selected for IIM Calcutta with a low score in Class XIIth, like 70?

SZ
Saher Zehra Posted On : December 20th, 2022
Works at Avendus Capital

As can be seen, class XII marks receive only 15% of the weightage (whereas the CAT percentile receives a significant (67%) weightage). Furthermore, a 70% in class XII will result in 6/10 points in that section. As a result, a person scoring 80% or higher has an advantage of only 4 points out of 10 in a section with a weightage of only 15%.

As a result, a low class XII score of 70% is not a particularly important factor in shortlisting, and it is easily compensated for by a high CAT percentile.

Which one should I choose, BITS Pilani for mechanical or IIIT Allahabad for IT?

SA
Sandesh Anwar Posted On : March 9th, 2021
B.Tech. Electronics and Communication Engineering, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad

Firstly, you should know that there is no difference in the facilities and reputation of the colleges, Although BITS ranks better as an engineering school. BITS Pilani ranks #30 on NIRF's Engineering rank list and IIIT Allahabad ranks #103 on the same. But you should focus on your monetary capacity in consonance with your future plans before applying. 

My cousin studied at IIIT A and the following points are based on his experience:

  • IIIT A is an excellent place to study coding. The classes are good although the syllabus has to be maneuvered because it's tough. You can manage it through attention in the classroom.
  • Attendance is an important part of the academic process here because IIIT A has a 75% mandatory attendance rule.
  • Without a doubt, BITS has a higher fee range as compared to IIIT A, about 7 LPA for a 4-year program.

Here's a table comparing both institutes:

Parameters

BITS Pilani Mechanical

IIIT Allahabad IT

Tuition Fee (INR)

1.59 per semester

62,500

Average Salary(INR)

4.5-5 LPA

20.83 LPA

Highest Salary(INR)

6 LPA

43 LPA

Top Recruiters

Brahmos, Tata Tech, Hero and Michelin

Adobe, Aakash, Accenture, American Express etc

Lastly, if you love the mechanical stream and are truly motivated to study Maths and Physics then you must go for it. Mechanical is a vast field as well because you'd learn everything related to mechanical processes and even production scheduling. So clearly check your interests and goals before deciding.

Why is ICT, Mumbai not converted to IIEST whereas other colleges like CUSAT are?

UZ
Uzma Zarin Posted On : July 29th, 2021
Studied at Cochin University of Science and Technology (2019)

CUSAT has yet to receive an IIEST upgrade. The work is still on, and funds have been allocated to strengthen the infrastructure in the next few years. Being an ex-student of the college, I'm not sure when it'll be upgraded.

  • Many people at the college, as far as I know, do not want it to be upgraded to an IIEST.
  • There's a lot of politics involved there.
  • Also not sure why certain people at the institute don't want to take advantage of it because being an IIEST has a lot of advantages.

To answer your question, despite being an excellent college, the Ananda Krishnan committee has not recommended ICT Mumbai for conversion to an IIEST. Let me give you a list of potential causes:

  • It is a modest institute in terms of campus size (16 acres), however, there is a need for more space for future expansion.
  • This is one of IIEST's requirements (a lot of space for further improvement of infrastructure and expansion).
  • Standard engineering courses such as CSE, Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Metallurgy, and Mining are not offered.
  • The institute is known for Chemical Engineering.

The institute offers Bachelor’s degrees in B. Pharma, Food Engineering and Technology, Chemical Engineering, Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology, Polymer Engineering and Technology, Surface Coating Technology, Oils, Oleochemicals and Surfactants Technology, etc.

Is 90 in 12th class (CBSE, PCM) considered good by IIM-Bangalore?

SM
Siddant Mittal Posted On : July 12th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Bangalore

IIM Bangalore has made revisions to the shortlisting process for PGP 2024-2026. The weightage for different qualification stages to shortlist candidates for an interview has been revised. Accordingly, class 12th marks have been allotted a 15% weightage. Class 10th marks have been allotted a 15% weightage as well and the CAT scores have been allotted a 55% weightage. 

Getting a 90+ in class 12th will improve your chances of getting a call from IIM Bangalore. However, 10th marks, CAT scores, and gender diversity have a weightage as well.

Gender diversity has been allotted a 5% weightage and work experience will benefit you immensely as it will carry a 10% weightage.

No weightage has been assigned for academic diversity.

Even for the final selection of the 2024-2026 batch, class 12th marks will carry 10% weightage.

IIM Bangalore will thus shortlist the candidates for an interview if they perform well in all the above criteria. Your 12th score is good but other qualifications will also be considered during the shortlisting process.

Learning something new is never worthless. The institution’s reputation and popularity is the secondary aspect in a student’s life. Your willingness to learn about new things, enthusiasm towards learning, creating, and developing oneself is a major concern.

West Bengal State University (WBSU) is a really good institution that offers both undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
