How does the CV of students who get selected in IIMs(any), ISB, XLRI, FMS, SPJIMR, JBIMS look like?
This might seem like a shallow statement but when you look at an average student from a top-tier college and an average student from a lower-tier college the difference that you witness would not surprise you if you just look at their CVs.
It’s not as if they have done something exceptionally great but the CVs of students who get selected in top management schools like top IIMs, ISB, XLRI, FMS, SPJMR, and JBIMS are highly analytical. They know how to quantify their achievements and in the end, that’s all that matters. It’s all just numbers and data.
Typically, the students have impressive academic records and have been part of numerous non-academic avenues that have helped them in understanding the importance of extra-curriculum activities.
Some might have told you that most of the students who go to these top colleges have work experience but that is not true. You do not require work experience to get into your dream college. If you’re looking to get into one of these top management colleges and do not have an exceptional profile, just start focusing on your speed and accuracy for the written examination and polish your CV. Highlight the things that have impacted you and that you think would help you in becoming a better manager in the future.
Is it a better choice for choosing FMS, Delhi over IIM-B and IIM-C?
No, choosing FMS Delhi over IIMB or IIMC is definitely not a good decision as you will be missing out on so many opportunities. Some of them include
- Student exchange programs: The top 3 IIMS have student exchange programs wherein almost 30% of the batch spends one term at a European B School. Also, IIM Calcutta is a part of CEMS. 25 students from IIMC are offered the most coveted CEMS MiM degree.
- Placements: Without any doubt, the top IIMs have the best placement drives than any other B school in India. All the major companies like McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and AT Kearney visit the campus and hire 50+ students every year. Even if the same companies visit FMS M, the roles offered are different. Also despite being good for marketing, the biggest giants in FMCG don’t visit the campus regularly. So top jobs are offered at IIM ABC and FMS misses out on this opportunity.
- Campus Life: With no hostel facility, FMS Delhi has non-existent campus life. Meanwhile, all the other IIMs have beautiful campuses, excellent infrastructure, and hostel facilities.
- Brand name: Without any doubt, IIMs have a bigger brand name than FMS.
- ROI: ROI or Return on Investment is higher for IIMs than FMS in the long run. Although due to the payment of loans initially, ROI will seem less than FMS(low fees), that’s not the case. IIMs provide better opportunities, global recognition, and an alumni base that add to the ROI value.
You won’t lose anything from joining IIMS over FMS.
How should I convert BPUT subject grades into marks? What are the total marks of a practical exam in BPUT semesters?
There is no way at BPUT to convert subject grades into marks obtained. The grades are awarded not for a single score, but for a range of corresponding marks.
For example, the grade O is awarded for 90-100 marks, and the corresponding point for it is 10. The total marks for theory and practical are the same in semester exams, i.e. 100. Practicals follow the same grading system as theory papers.
The main difference is that for a theory paper, the passing grade is D. On the other hand, for a practical paper, it is C. You can check the official website of BPUT for the method of calculating SGPA and CGPA.
What is your review of Acharya Institute of Technology?

What is it like to study at IIM Ahmedabad?
It’s a great experience studying at IIM Ahmedabad. You won’t have a single moment during the 2-year span. One of my friends graduated last year from IIM Ahmedabad. Here is her experience in brief.
- First year at IIM A is a humbling experience. The student crowd is brilliant. You will get to learn a lot through peer interaction.

- You will get to choose your subjects for the second year based on your interests. There are also no surprise quizzes in second year.
- You will have to spend a lot of time in placement prep in your second year. The final placement process is much more extensive.
In second year, you will get a lot of free time as well. My friend explored many eateries and also went on trips with her friends. Naturally, everyone has a unique experience on campus.

What package do IISER graduates get after a BS-MS?
IISERs are not established for just placement purposes rather the motto is to build the scientific aptitude among students so that they earn more from their skills and knowledge.
The curriculum at IISER has a strong base and you will eventually give up the idea of placements. This is why most students apply for Ph.D. after completing BS-MS from here. Ideally, you cannot compare IIT with IISER in terms of placements as most of the IT companies do not find IISERites to be worthful until they have acquired some skills of their own.
Do not apply here just for the sake of doing engineering as the level of competition is very high at IISER. You will be wasting 5 years if you do not want to pursue higher studies and looking just for placements.
Even if you look for job opportunities after BS-MS, you can take up jobs as biologists, chemists, mathematicians, physicists with a salary of around INR 50,000 per month.
What is the worst thing to be in IIM Ahmedabad?
If you are joining IIM Ahmedabad, here are some things that you may find difficult to deal with.

- You will be on your own. If you can’t grasp the coursework, you will get help from your seniors and peers but it’s only up to a point.
- In your first year, there is not much freedom. You will have compulsory sessions, placement sessions, etc. But this teaches you to operate within constraints.
Life becomes easier once you settle in.
