Why does IIM Indore give less importance to the CAT percentile?
IIM Indore gives less importance to the CAT percentile because it pays more importance to the aggregate of 10th and 12th class of students. Although every college, specifically every IIM has its own criteria for selecting the candidates, IIM Indore is more into academics and less into the entrance, graduation marks, or even the working experience. Here is the selection procedure for IIM Indore in brief.
Stage I- CAT score has the least weightage in the shortlisting stage. Any student with good academic performance and above-average CAT scores can get a call from IIM Indore. Here is the CAT cutoff for 2020, in IIM Indore.
| Category | VARC | DILR | QA | Overall Percentile |
| General | 80 | 80 | 80 | 90 |
| NC OBC | 70 | 70 | 70 | 80 |
| EWS | 80 | 80 | 80 | 90 |
| SC | 55 | 55 | 55 | 60 |
| ST | 45 | 45 | 45 | 50 |
| PwD | 45 | 45 | 45 | 50 |
The weightage given for the 10th score is 34%. There is the weightage for graduation marks, both for the shortlisting of WAT-PI and the final selection.
Stage II- It consists of the WAT and PI round which you have to clear to appear in the next round. If a student fails to attend this, he/she would be out of the selection process.
Stage III- There is a weightage of 40% marks given to the PI round in the final selection and as the students are already selected based on the academics, it is now in the final selection when 20% aggregate is for the CAT exam.
Therefore, you must have a good academic background to get admission to IIM Indore.

Which college should I prefer, CSE in IIT Hyderabad, CSE in BITS Goa, EEE in BITS Pilani?
In my opinion, CSE in IIT Hyderabad is the best option amongst the aforementioned institutes. EEE in BITS Pilani is not a good option unless you are interested in core Electronics. This is because the future is CS-oriented and everyone is out there trying to secure lucrative job opportunities in the same. I wouldn’t suggest you target a branch change from EEE to CS in Pilani as for that you will require a very high CGPA as high as 9.7 which is very very tough to get.
Speaking of BITS Goa, it is known for its amazing new coding culture and no compulsory attendance policy. However, nothing can match the brand value of IIT.
IIT Hyderabad focuses primarily on AI and ML which is very beneficial for your future.
Thus it can be concluded that IIT Hyderabad is a better option for you.
What type of profile do freshers in new schools: IIMs, FMS, XLRI, MDI, IIFT, and NMIMS have? Do all of them have 80+/90+ in 10th and 12th?
I can speak for XLRI since I have many friends at the institute. A score of 80-/90+ is not necessarily the only criteria based on which students are admitted to the institute.
The admission commission looks for a number of activities and accomplishments. These include your performance in sports, music, scholarships leadership positions held previously, college festivals, participation in competitions such as debates and quizzes during your schooling. Your position at the national or state level in sports, if any. Surely the admission process is not limited to these only.
Academics are also considered but that can be said as one of the factors and not the deciding criterion. Even if you do not possess such scores in your 10th or 12th, do not agonize. XLRI will heartily welcome you for proving your worth in other domains.
What do you know about Bankura Christian College?
One of my friends studied at the Bankura Christian College. According to him it is a good college overall.
Here are some points about it:
- The English department is said to be the best department of this college.
- Students claimed that they did not require additional help from tuition centres.
- Whatever the professors taught was more than enough. If you attend your classes regularly, coaching centres won't be necessary.
- The teachers are very dedicated. This department has all the modern equipment for proper learning to keep up with the recent trends.
- The Physics department is one of the best departments of the college. But most of the students rely on tuition.
- This department is also equipped with good quality laboratories, libraries, digital classrooms, etc.
- The Chemistry department students also prioritize tuition rather than classroom teaching.
- In the Mathematics department the number of full time professors is a bit less than what is required.
- The Bengali department is also a good choice for the students to get a deeper insight of Bengali literature.
- The departments like Zoology, Botany, Physiology are also considered the best in the district.
- This library contains every essential book you need for your course. Not only that it contains a huge amount of foreign published books which you cannot find anywhere in the whole district.
Keep in mind that you must have a very good score in your higher secondary exam to get a chance for admission in any of the above mentioned departments of this college, because these are considered to be the best in the district.
