What is the selection criteria for the NITIE?
NITIE offers 5 postgraduate diploma courses. Admission to each course follows a specific selection process. My brother is a student at the institute so I can give you some insight regarding this.
In NITIE, only people from Engineering backgrounds are allowed to take admission. The following are the criteria for the same.
- Minimum 60% marks in 10th, 12th, and graduation for the general category (55% for backward castes).
- CAT percentile for PGDIM, PGDISEM: 97.5 for General category (drastically lower for backward castes).
- GATE cut-off for PGDIE, PGDMM and PGDPM – Varies from branch to branch.
- Work Experience – Students in their final year can also apply. If you have more than 5 years of work experience then choose executive courses like the one offered at Great Lakes or ISB.
- After these qualifying scores, you get a shortlist for the GD/ PI process.
- Weightage to your 10th, 12th, graduation scores, work experience, performance in GD/ PI to generate a final score.
The merit lists are created based on the final score. You will be selected if you are on the list.
Being a non-engineer OBC girl candidate, at what percentile can I expect a call from IIM Udaipur
Your gender and category play a very insignificant role in determining your chances of getting admission. As a girl you will be given 5 marks extra owing to gender diversity. And your Category will require you percentile lesser than the general category. But these factors are not the major parameters for selecting candidates. The major criterias include your past academic records and work experience. The weightages allotted to these components can be checked from the official website.
Considering your profile here is my opinion regarding the percentile required to guarantee your admission.
- 90+ — 100% chances
- 85–90 - Almost 100% chances
- 80–85 - May or may not get a call though chances for getting a call are more
- 70–80 - Chances of getting a call are relatively low
Please note that this is guaranteed only if you clear category specific cut-offs.
I got 51 percentage in 10th and 65 percentage in 12th will I get admission in IIM kozhikode?
The admission criteria at all the IIMs changes every year. One year you may get admission with relatively low scores but the next year you might now get in even with a high score.
It all depends on the panel of judges and your luck. So my recommendation is that you should not depend too much on your 10 and 12 marks.
Go for the CAT and score 99 percentile. Chances are you will get admission even with low 10 and 12 marks. But without CAT you need better marks in 10 and 12 to make it into any IIMs.
What is the process and eligibility of getting enrolled in an executive MBA from IIM Calcutta?
IIM Calcutta is among the top B Schools in the customized executive education category globally. It offers 2 executive programs - PGP-Ex or Post Graduate Programs for Executive, and
PGP-Ex-VLM or PGP-Ex for Visionary Leadership in Manufacturing.
Factors considered in the selection process include:
-
Academic record
-
Work Experience
-
Performance in aptitude tests
-
Personal interview
Now let’s have a glimpse of both courses individually.
PGPEX:
-
1-year full-time program
-
It is for Industry Executives who have worked for more than five years in the industry.
-
The program helps people stuck in the middle of their careers to upgrade their management skills and climb the ladder to top management roles.
-
You require a Bachelor's degree to join the program.
PGPEX-VLM:
-
1-year full time program
-
It focuses on the manufacturing industry
-
Co-run by IIM Calcutta, IIT Kanpur, and IIT Madras
-
You require an engineering degree and a minimum of four and a half-year of work experience in manufacturing, engineering, and related sectors.
Both programs are equally good. The only difference lies in the fact that the latter focuses on manufacturing and technical aspects more than the former.
What are the minimum marks required in CBSE board exams to guarantee an admission at Lady Brabourne College or St. Xavier's College at Kolkata?
One of my friends studied in Lady Brabourne College with Physics (Hons). The criteria was an exact 100 in physics. The criteria for other boards may be equal or vary.
This might have changed over the years, but chances are very less if you have scored less than 95.
St Xavier’s College’ Chemistry (Hons.) criteria is around 95–98%. Some students with 90% or above will get admission through 3rd or 4th list if there are vacant seats.
Therefore to secure a seat, your overall percentage must be more than 95 and in the subject you want to pursue for your honors, you must have a higher score than 97, from whichever board you graduate from.
What are the criteria of admission in PUMBA for an MBA?
I have a few friends from PUMBA, so I think I can give you some idea about admission to the institute. The criteria required in PUMBA for pursuing MBA is briefed below.
Eligibility Criteria:
A candidate is required to have passed with a minimum of about 50% marks or equivalent CGPA, which is 45% in case of candidates who are either from backward categories or have a physical disability.
Admission Criteria:
Students are required to qualify for the MH - CET exam in case they belong anywhere from Maharashtra. On the other hand, students can apply through CMAT/CAT/MH - CET, if they are from outside of Maharashtra.
Course Structure :
For specialization, there is a provision of 5 main choices to opt from, which are namely Marketing, Finance, Systems, Human Resource, and Operations. In a nutshell, the courses of the institute are of two years, incorporating six trimesters.
The immediate two trimesters mainly prepare you for obtaining a strong foundation on several crucial subjects, such as Finance, Marketing, Systems, Human Resource, Operations. Alongside these, it also helps improve Communications skills, Information Technology, Quantitative Skills, and others in students.
Hope this helps solve your query.
Can I get a call from IIM Kozhikode with a 7/7/7 profile? I am an engineer male OBC/NCL with 99 percentile in the CAT.
Yes you will get a call for sure from IIM Kozhikode.
- Having a 7/7/7 profile is the sole stumbling block; otherwise, you have a high CAT Percentile.
- You also have an OBC/NCL background, which makes it considerably simpler to obtain a call from IIM K
With a profile comparable to yours and an OBC/NCL background, the required percentile will be somewhere near 98+. So, I believe you will receive your call unless they reject you due to your previous academic performance.
IIM Calcutta doesn't place much emphasis on past academics. Does this work in favour or against students during placements?
We need to clear the misconception that IIM Calcutta does not lay emphasis on your past academics. It very much does. You need a decent 85+ in 10 and 12 to get into IIM Calcutta.
Coming to graduation, its scores are also taken into consideration. I have seen instances where the candidate had 85+ in 10 and 12 and CAT score as high as 99.5. But he failed to get into IIM Calcutta because of a low graduation score around 60 although he was a non-engineer.
So it’s just a conception that IIM Calcutta does not place emphasis on past academics.
