Will poor marks in 12th (around 68%) and a drop year have any affect on IPM IIM Indore interview?
Obviously, a low score may affect your interview but only a little. The key is to justify your low scores confidently and also answer any questions that are asked from your 12th syllabus.
Another way is to highlight your extra-curricular activities and achievements. Mention your other strengths but don’t lie about anything.
As far as the drop year is concerned I don’t think it will be much of a hurdle in your selection process because a major chunk of IPM students has taken a drop year. Still, you should be able to specify the reason for the same if asked.

I have poor graduation percentage, should I apply for JBIMS?
Graduation scores do carry a weightage during admissions at JBIMS but a very minor one. They are not the main criteria to focus on. CET is the most important factor that needs full attention. The candidate's profile is rated on various parameters.

The institute also considers past academic records for computation of Application Rating Score(AR). The cutoff for PAR is as follows:
10th: 60% or above
12th: 60% or above
As you can see little or no weightage is given to Graduation scores. So don’t let your low marks dishearten and discourage you. Rather focus on your CAT/CET.
Can I do MBBS and BA from IGNOU at the same time ?
Yes, UGC has given its approval regarding pursuing two courses at the same time, only provided that one cannot pursue both these courses in regular mode. This basically means that for both courses to be considered valid,, one course has to be in regular mode and the other course must be in distance mode from Open University.
UGC rules are applicable in the case of IGNOU also. Earlier before UGC made such changes, IGNOU did not allow two regular courses simultaneously through the same University. But in accordance with recent regulations, you can do two regular as well as two distance courses at the same time.
How do I increase my chances of getting into FMS Delhi?
If you are goal-oriented and serious about getting into FMS Delhi then all you need to do is score the highest CAT percentile you can. This is because, unlike other B Schools, FMS does not focus on your past mistakes or academics. Rather it focuses more on how ambitious you are now to achieve your goal which is currently to get into FMS. Some tips that will help you achieve a high CAT score and make it into FMS are
- Make a tight schedule and adhere to it.
- Read as much as you can as RCs play an important role.
- Every weekend, revise all that you have studied and take mocks.
- Don’t just take mocks for the sake of it. Rather after every mock analysis your mistakes and weaknesses and work on them.
- Don’t underestimate the VA section. English is equally important in your CAT exam. So keep practicing English.
Lastly, remember that the mock tests do not reflect your CAT score. I have seen instances where people have scored 70% in mock but 99+ in CAT. So it’s just for practice. Don’t let the mock score demotivate you to give up. The ultimate key is to revise, practice, and have patience.
What is the final composite score needed by a general candidate for admission to IIM Ahmedabad to convert the interview call? Would a score of 70 be sufficient?
IIM Ahmedabad has decided to give little importance to the bachelor's degree components from the shortlisting criteria and to apply it uniformly to all the candidates. The AR now will be computed on a scale of 25 (considering class 10th marks, class 12th marks, and the candidate's work experience) and the points will be pro-rated to 35.
The following formula will now be used for computing the Composite Score (CS):
CS = 0.35* Pro-rated AR Score/35 + 0.65* Normalized overall CAT Score
Pro-rated AR Score= [(AR score computed by taking 0 points for Bachelor’s degree)/25] * 35.

I got 192 in JEE Mains and 96% in CBSE Delhi board. What are my chances for IIIT Delhi?
Considering your great JEE Main marks and percentage in the CBSE Delhi board, you have a high chance of making it to IIIT Delhi. A close friend had a similar profile and was able to join IIIT Delhi last year. He claimed his passion for CSE to be the sole reason he chose the institute over better-reputed ones. It's the best college if you are genuinely interested in CS and want to learn. Moreover, it’s a research-oriented institute so if you are a research enthusiast, you will find the best resources and facilities here.
I will suggest you choose IIIT Delhi over NSIT and DTU because it has been developing at a fast pace and will soon rank better than these colleges.
Am I eligible for home state quota in NIT Delhi if I have completed my 12th from Chandigarh?
Yes, you will be eligible for Home State Quota in NIT Delhi Even if you have completed 12 from Chandigarh. Many people still believe that you can get a home Quota only in your state. The truth is these rules apply to States and not to territories. Chandigarh being a union territory is exempted from this rule.
