Am I eligible for HS quota in NIT Raipur?
NIT Raipur is one of the most famous and prestigious colleges in our country and getting a seat in this college is a matter of pride for every student. Securing a seat is very tough among lakhs of students throughout the country who compete for a seat here.
One has to score more than 75% in his/her board exams and then appear for JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) to get a seat here. And Home State quota is more advantageous if you appear for your board exams under the Chhattisgarh board as your 12th marksheet is considered as proof for the home state quota.
So if you want to get benefits of the home state quota then it is advisable to appear for your 12th boards under Chhattisgarh government board. Lakhs of students throughout the country appear for this exam and only a few of them who manage to secure top positions in the exam get admission into NITs and IITs. So it takes a lot of hard work and effort behind getting a seat in this college.
If I have 3 backlogs in 1st year then would I be eligible for 2nd year in Pune university?

You will be promoted to 2nd year along with the backlogs which must be cleared in the next examinations. Try not to get any backlog as it is mandatory to clear all past backlogs to get to 3rd year.

What are the chances of converting NMIMS Mumbai call?
Compared to other entrance exams, NMAT is a relatively easier one. But because most students that sit for NMAT want to get into NMIMS so the competition is tough. So just getting across the cutoff is not sufficient, you need to aim for the highest.
The other aspects of the admission process through NMAT include
- NMAT score
- Personal Interview
- Case Discussion
- Academic record
- Work Experience
- Academic/Gender diversity
One needs to keep certain points regarding NMAT in mind. Firstly an excellent score does not guarantee admission. You have to ace the CD and PI rounds as well. But overall the chances of conversion are high due to high intake provided that you perform well in CD and PI. Separate rounds of CD and PI are held for Core and HRM. Also, NMIMS has a 30% reservation for girls.
Some tips that will increase your chances of conversion to NMIMS are
SOP: Your Statement of Purpose should clearly state why MBA, that too from NMIMS. It should state valid reasons as to why you should be selected over other students by mentioning your unique traits.
Case Discussion: The Case Discussion round is more to analyze your personality than your knowledge. So follow the rules throughout and give 2-3 solid points and give others an equal opportunity. Don't validate your opinion rudely at all.
Personal Interview: The interview is usually conducted by 3 panelists. If you have work experience, you will be questioned regarding that. For instance your role in your previous company and achievements. They will also question your goals after your MBA and which industry you have chosen and why. To stay on the safer side, be well-versed in current affairs. Also, don’t lose your calm at any given moment.

I have no information about your profile and cannot define your exact chances of getting into ISB Hyderabad. The selection process includes aspects like

How were you selected for the dual degree exchange programme, simultaneously completing degrees from IIM Ahmedabad and EBS Business School, Germany?
The dual degree exchange program means spending 2 terms abroad. This program has only 10 seats and the criteria for selection is solely performance in the first year at IIMA. You will get a Master in Management degree from your exchange university. But you will have to complete a Master's thesis at the exchange university as a requirement for the degree.
Because of its firmness, this degree is not opted by many students. One of my friends did opt for this degree from EBS and she shared her experience of how she managed to get 2 degrees simultaneously.
Firstly, the course curriculum at EBS ends in June. Then she had to write her thesis and submit it by November. But her job in India was to start in May so she requested to complete the thesis alongside the curriculum. Her request was accepted. She completed her thesis by April and returned back to her job in India.
She was the first person to graduate in her Masters batch at EBS. This degree helped her get a good deal of exposure to academic culture in Europe.
