Is Anna University's counselling different for CBSE and matriculating students?
No, the counselling procedure is the same for both CBSE and matriculating students. You will be counseled in the batches as per your cut off. But the cutoff calculation procedure is different for CBSE and matriculating students.
For State Board students Cut off= (math/2) + (phy/4)+(chem/4)
For CBSE students Cut off= (math) +(phy/2)+(chem/2)
Apart from this CBSE students get normalisation as it’s difficult to get such high cut offs. Under this, usually 5 marks are added to your cutoff.
Is BHU better for UPSE preparation
Banaras Hindu University or BHU is not just better but it’s the best for UPSC preparation. There are many examples of students passing the UPSC exam from this university. One such example is Sachin Kumar. He was a student of MA (Political Science) and managed to top the CAPF exam without any extra tuition. His delegation combined with the university’s quality education helped him climb the ladder.
I have mentioned some pros of the university to explain why you should go for BHU:
-
Hostels- The best thing about BHU has to be its amazing hostels with great facilities and surrounded with lush green beauty. The ambiance is perfect for the preparation of any kind of exam. The AND hostel is one of the best. The hostels are extremely affordable around INR 80 per month.
-
Facilities- Every resident of the hostel can easily access the classes, food, playground, gym, pool, and other facilities. Free Wi-Fi facility is also available 24/7.
-
Social activities- The hostels at BHU celebrate all the festivals which bring together students from different communities. This helps develop an emotional bond and makes hostel life memorable.
All in all, BHU is the right choice for UPSC preparation. You will not regret your decision.
I'm working in ONGC for last 2 years after graduated from IIT Ropar? Now I have cracked IIM L, should I go for it?
I know a friend who had cracked ONGC and almost touched 100 percentile in CAT. He decided not to go for ONGC but rather to prepare for CAT. But as luck would have it, she couldn’t make it into IIM A B C.
She did not give up and studied hard for the same and got into IIM Calcutta and graduated in 2016. After a couple of chances, she opened her own company in the conventional manufacturing space.
The conclusion from this experience is that you should forego the IIM Calcutta offers if:
-
you want immediate monetary gains
-
you do not want to take risks
-
you are not interested in entrepreneurship
You should go for IIM Calcutta if:
-
You are looking for a brand name
-
A huge IIM L network access
-
If you want an opportunity to pierce into the corporate management space
-
If you are interested in entrepreneurship
It depends mainly on your risk undertaking ability and what you want from your job.
I got AIIMS Raipur in the 2nd round of counseling. Should I leave Seth GS for that?
Whether you should leave Seth GS for AIIMS or not can be understood only after going through a general comparison between the two:
Academics: The academics of both colleges are somewhat similar.
Lifestyle: KEM is located in Mumbai so you will have to go through the metro lifestyle which includes pollution, crowd, and an unhygienic lifestyle.
Hostel: Hostel facilities are much better in AIIMS than in KEM. Also, KEM does not provide hostel facilities to 1st-year students. The hostels in KEM are very crowded.
Crowd: KEM has a larger batch and there might be crowding.
The final decision is yours.
How can I score well in IGNOU, M.A. English course?
When it comes to study material, IGNOU definitely provides the best. The course is lucid, well-written, and informative and contains a summary of all important details. The quality of the study material makes it possible for you to solely rely on it and give exams.
But if you are aiming for some brownie points, then there is an additional tip for you. Download MA English question papers of the past 5 years. Going through these papers will instil in you a confidence and general picture of the paper. You will also discover the important questions that are repeated almost every year and can focus more on those questions. Basically, this method will enable you to approach your exam a bit more confidently and well-prepared.
I got admission (PGDM) opportunities from IIM Rohtak and IIM Udaipur! Should one go or sit for CAT again this year? Any suggestions?
Sitting for CAT again is honestly not a very easy decision. So I will suggest you go for IIM Rohtak itself. This decision will be beneficial under the following circumstances
- If your past academic performance is not really good. This is because the older IIMs lay emphasis on past academics too much which in reality cannot be changed. So why risk a year when the chances are nearly zero?
- If you already have 2 or more years of experience, it’s better you don’t forgo the opportunity.
- If you are interested in domains like Finance or Marketing, it’s better to join now. This is because working too much in the IT field limits your chances of getting into Finance and Marketing.
So based on these points you can come up with a decision that’s best for you. Just remember that despite being new, IIM Rohtak belongs to the IIM family which in itself is a brand.

Should I choose AFMC over AIIMS Raipur or any new AIIMS?
Every AIIMS is good and not much comparable. But if you compare it to AFMC, there are some things you need to know.
Firstly AFMC has a bond of 1 cr rupees if you want to quit after MBBS. But the infrastructure of AFMC Isi is exceptionally good. It just does not provide you the basic medical facilities but trains you in shooting, swimming, working in challenging conditions, daily PT, etc. All this will prepare you for a tough future.
The best part of AIIMS on the other hand is no bond is required to be signed. AIIMS focuses on medical facilities only. The classrooms are well-designed. The library, playground, gym, and other facilities add to the overall infrastructure of the college.
I will recommend that you go for AIIMS if you are willing to pursue PG right after MBBS. AFMC on the other hand lets you pursue PG only after serving for a fixed period of time. But don’t worry, the internship offers a good amount of money.
