The night events are vibrant and the students have the best days of their life during this fest.

What CAT percentile do I require to get calls from IIM Blackis, FMS, SP Jain, JBIMS and MDI Gurgaon?
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?
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 is the cutoff for IIM Bangalore?
For the PGP, PGP-PPM and PGP-BA courses of IIM Bangalore, the overall CAT 2023 cutoff is 99 percentile (for general category). As for the sectional cutoff, it is 80 percentile for all the three courses, in VARC, QA as well as DILR. As for SC candidates, the cutoff is 70 percentile overall, and it is 70 percentile for each of the sections as well.
You can check the overall and sectional cutoffs for other categories as well.
Why is NIT Agartala so underrated?
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?
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.
Can you join IIM Bangalore after a B.Com with no work experience?
Yes, IIMs do have a certain intake of freshers every year. Anyone without work experience can try their luck at IIM Bangalore as 20-30% of the batch comprises freshers. The reason for such an intake of freshers is that Recruiters from the Marketing and Finance sectors usually prefer a fresher given the nature of the jobs and roles offered. In the Marketing sector, you have to first go through Sales roles which are suitable for a fresher only. Even in Finance, the roles require a lot of working hours which might not be possible for someone with good work experience. Unless you have worked Sales/Marketing or have CA/CFA, recruiters prefer freshers only for such jobs.
This rule is applied somewhat similarly to other IIMs the only difference being the weightage given to different criteria.
If you are a fresher with average academic records, then switch to IIM Calcutta because Bangalore focuses a lot on academic performance and this might lower your chances of admission.
