Is it possible to get into MDI Gurgaon with around a 96 percentile in the CAT with the following academic credentials a 76 in class X a 68 in class XII a 61 in graduation?
MDI Gurgaon will send you a call if you score above the sectional cutoff and 95+ percentile overall in the CAT exam. However, for the final selection, past academics are also considered. If your past academics are not strong, it may decrease your composite score. But, if you get a good percentile in CAT, that can compensate for your past academic performance and increase your chances of converting the call.
Additionally, it is crucial to smartly justify the reason for your average academic performance during the interview. If you were active in extracurricular activities, won competitions, or had any other significant achievements, these will act as positive points for you and help you stand out.
The interview process, which includes Personal Interview (PI), Written Ability Test (WAT), and Group Discussion (GD), has a 30% weightage in the final selection process. Past academics and other factors are given a 15% weightage. CAT percentile has the most significant weightage of 55%.
In summary, you may receive the call at the mentioned percentile, but to convert it, you must prepare well for the interview and present yourself in the best possible way, highlighting your strengths and addressing any weaknesses.

Which is better, NIT Surathkal or BITS Pilani?
Both NIT Suathkal and BITS Pailni are the dream colleges of most engineering aspirants owing to their high reputation and excellence in the field of education. However, NIT is a government college whereas BITS Pilani is a private engineering college that costs much more. Here are a few points you would like to consider before making the final decision
- First of all, you need to determine what you are looking for from your degree. If you want to associate yourself with a brand then NIT has better recognition globally. Letters of Recommendation from Surathkal professors are very valuable.
- NIT Surathkal has a better location being near the IT hub, Bangalore. The opportunities offered both on and off campus are plentiful.
- Infrastructure-wise, NIT Surathkal is better mainly because it has its own private beach. Additionally, hostels are well-built and the facilities are at par with IIT standards.
- NIT Surathkal charges very low fees in comparison to BITS.
So, I feel it's better to opt for NIT Surathkal!
What is the difference between FYBA grantable and FYBA non grantable admission vacancies in the colleges of Pune University such as Fergusson College?
One of the primary distinctions between aided and unaided colleges is the availability of funds. A college that receives government aid is known as an aided college, whereas a college that does not receive any funds or aid from the government is known as an unaided college(Private institutes). While the government provides assistance to aided colleges, the government does not provide assistance to unaided colleges.
The government provides grants to aided colleges for a variety of purposes, including infrastructure development and academic activities.
The fee structure is another significant difference between aided and unaided colleges. Unaided colleges charge students high fees, whereas aided colleges only charge government-mandated fees.
Both colleges have the same admissions process, but private colleges have some seats reserved for management quota as well.
What should be the preference order, GMCH Chandigarh, VMMC Delhi, AIIMS other than Delhi, CMC Vellore?
I chose VMMC Delhi over the other three options (GMCH Chandigarh, AIIMS (other than Delhi) & CMC Vellore) for my MBBS.
According to me, the order of preference should be:
- VMMC Delhi
- GMCH Chandigarh
- AIIMS (other than Delhi)
- CMC Vellore
My reasons for this preference order are:
- VMMC, GMCH, and AIIMS are government colleges with minimal MBBS fees.
- These three do not have a mandatory bond period.
- VMMC Delhi and GMCH Chandigarh are better than AIIMS (other than Delhi) due to their internal PG reservation system.
- VMMC is a better choice than GMCH because of its location. VMMC is located in Delhi because of which it offers better opportunities. Also, the hospital of VMMC is bigger and VMMC offers more internal PG reservation as compared to GMCH.
Due to these factors, I would suggest you opt for VMMC Delhi for your MBBS course.
