Before checking if your profile is eligible for getting shortlisted, let’s go through the admission criteria of IIM Trichy once. 

Stage 1: Criteria for shortlisting candidates for PI

  • Quantitative Aptitude- 70
  • Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning- 70
  • Verbal & Reading Comprehension- 70
  • Total (Overall Percentile)- 92

From your profile, your CAT percentile of 96.33 is enough to get you shortlisted for the PI round. Even your sectional cutoff is pretty good.

Stage 2: Criteria to Select Candidates post Personal Interview (PI)

Parameter 

Weightage

CAT

50%

PI

25%

Verbal Comprehension 

3%

Class 12 scores

3%

Class 10 scores

2%

Work Experience 

5%

UG marks

5%

Professional Qualification 

2%

Gender Diversity

5%

Since your CAT percentile is already good, you need to work hard for your Personal Interview. In PI, you will be judged for the following:

  • Communication Skills
  • Academic Ability
  • Current Affairs & General Awareness
  • Managerial & Leadership Abilities
  • Co-curricular and Extra-curricular Activities

Next comes the UG score which is calculated as - UG performance score = (percent score at UG * discipline weightage) * 0.5

In your case the total score will be- 25.704

You lack in the following areas

  • 10th and 12th scores
  • Gender Diversity

10th and 12th marks carry very little weightage. Still, you can compensate for these low marks by paying extra attention to your PI preparing and acing the interview. Another area where you have an upper hand is work experience. 

So I will say your chances of converting IIM Trichy are not exactly low. With the right motivation and an excellent interview, you can increase your chances of getting a call. Your CAT percentile has already got you halfway there so put in extra some efforts to make it into IIM Trichy.

What is the admission process in MSc Biotechnology in CSJM University (Kanpur University)? How is the placement?

DR
Deepshika Singh Rathod Posted On : October 28th, 2021
studied at CSJM University, Kanpur

CSJM University Kanpur conducts a separate entrance examination for M.Sc Biotechnology. The admissions are based on the merit list prepared based on the examination. 

As for placements, there are little to no placement opportunities for Biotechnology in India. It is a research-based subject. So, most job opportunities are in the R&D sector. But India doesn’t spend much on the R&D budget. That’s why there are not many Biotechnology companies. So, the placement for M.Sc Biotechnology at CSJM University, Kanpur is not good.

I have got 79 percentile in CET.I am from SC category. Will I get admission in pumba or should I give ATMA in may?

TA
Tejas Agarwal Posted On : April 19th, 2023
Student at DMS PUMBA

The total intake capacity is 60 seats. Out of the total, 30 seats will be filled as per statutory reservations only from the State of Maharashtra. For SC students, 8 seats are reserved.

The remaining 30 seats will be filled in the open category. 3% of the total intake capacity (i.e. 2 seats) shall be reserved for physically handicapped candidates.

Go For ATMA, 79 Percentile isn't that great to get you into PUMBA. Prepare for the ATMA and aim for a score of at least 90. Last year, the cut-off was close to 90%ile for SC Category.

As per DOMS PUMBA's second cut-off 2022, the institute recorded MAH CET cut off in the All India category of 99.85 percentile.

What do I need to get admission into University of Alberta and also get a scholarship?

RK
Riya Kapoor Posted On : January 11th, 2021
Studied at the University of Alberta (2018)

If you do some research, you’ll find that University of Alberta has an easy-seeming acceptance rate of 51% . But here’s the catch, this rate varies with your program choice and many other things that you should keep in mind. Acceptance rate here varies with subjects, some courses are easy to get into while some have cutthroat competition. 

Like all major universities, the enrollment here heavily depends upon splendid grades, test scores and completion of required subjects. Plus, if you’re an international student then you will need to be extra special so that they have a good reason to take you in.

Deciding Factors For Admission:

  • Factors like research projects and publications play a huge role
  • Impressive SOPs and genuine LORs are very important to stand out 
  • GPA: Im Fall 2018, 70% of the students entering Faculty of Science had a grade average of 85 and higher
  • English Proficiency: TOEFL iBT score of 100+ with a minimum 20 in each subsequent section is recommended
  • A GRE score of 315 and above is just next to excellent. (For PG admissions)
  • 155+ in the quantitative section of the GRE and a 4.0 in analytical ensures that you make up for any loopholes in your application

Scholarships for Internationals: 

While Alberta has plenty of scholarships, they are not all available to international students. The university provides many merit-based scholarships to accomplished internationals which will make your competition tougher. 

Scholarships are of different kinds and usually have different requirements. You will need an application for some of these. Mostly, these are merit and talent based and there’s cutthroat competition for these so you need to prepare really well to be eligible for these. 

Around 17,130 students received 87 million CAD worth of scholarships in 2017. Interests and previous experiences are an important deciding factor in the awarding of these scholarships so make sure you prepare accordingly.
