Why do students go for CAT, XAT, SNAP etc when almost all the B-Schools in India accept GMAT scores for the full time MBA?

NM
Nia Malhotra Posted On : May 17th, 2021
Studied Master of Business Administration at IMT Ghaziabad (2019)

There is hardly any B-school in India that accepts GMAT scores for full-time MBA. IIMs, FMS, XLRI, JBIMS, IIFT, MDI, etc. are some of the institutions that accept GMAT scores. 

However, students applying through a foreign national quota or NRI quota are eligible for GMAT score. ISB on the other hand accepts the GMAT for its full-time program MBA program.

Here is the list of some B-Schools that accepts GMAT scores in India

  • XLRI, Jamshedpur
  • XIM, Bhubaneswar
  • VIT Business School
  • TISS, Mumbai
  • TERI School of Advanced Sciences, TERI University
  • TASMAC, Pune
  • TAPMI, Manipal
  • School of Management, Udaipur
  • School of Management, NMIMS, Mumbai
  • School of Management, International Institute of Management

This is why most students go for CAT, XAT, SNAP, and other management exams for admission in MBA. Only foreign nationals or students with NRI Quota can apply through GMAT.

Should I study in Loyola College Chennai?

SS
Srishti Srivastav Posted On : October 4th, 2021
Studied Statistics at Loyola College,Chennai,Tamil Nadu (2009)

When you arrive in Chennai, you will feel as if you have another hometown in South India. People here don't care what religion you practice, where you're from, or anything else. Everyone will be engaged with their work. You will find it difficult to find a friend zone once you are settled because you do not like to leave the city.

It makes no difference where you study or what you study in college, it all depends on what you learn. Loyola is one of India's most well-known and oldest colleges, so you don't need to worry so much.

Now talk about some challenges you may face here:

  • Language - In starting, it will be tough to get people to grasp what you are trying to communicate. But don't worry, you'll learn Tamil in no time.
  • Place to stay - Before you come to Chennai, decide where you will stay.
  • Food - You may find a wide range of cuisines in Chennai, however the most of them will be hot and spicy.

The language barrier is the only thing you need to overcome. By doing that you will be able to adjust with the culture very easily.

Am I eligible for applying to MA Economics in DSE if I have an undergraduate degree in Computer Science Engineering?

AB
Anshul Bhardwaj Posted On : February 13th, 2023
Lived in New Delhi -110027 (2001–2016)

Anyone who has completed his/her graduation in any stream can get admission to DSE for MA in Economics. The only eligibility criteria are at least 60% marks in the aggregate ( in the graduation program)

Earlier there was an additional requirement that the aspirant must have studied at least one Maths paper during their graduation. But the recent criteria do not even require that. However, DSE focuses a lot on Math, and having an Engineering background will definitely give you an edge over other candidates.

Recently DSE has witnessed many non-economic students willing to shift their careers in economics and want to pursue Master's in Economics. This shift among students stems from the increasing demand for economists globally in different domains of jobs like Analyst, Economist, Researcher, Data Scientist, etc.

As an MA in Economics aspirant, one thing to keep in mind is that although the entrance exam is easy, the program is quite rigorous and can be extremely stressful at times. So only a true Economics fan should go for it.

Is it important to learn any coding language before taking admission in IIIT Delhi, and if not, which programming language would you recommend I start studying just for fun?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : October 5th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Yes, it's advisable to learn a coding language before being admitted to IIIT Delhi although it's not completely necessary. IIIT Delhi organizes some coding sessions during the orientation for people with non-CS backgrounds. If you have no knowledge of coding, you don't have to worry much because many non-CS students have launched successful startups. All you need is the determination to work hard and interest to learn new things. 

If you are adamant about learning a programming language, choose Python. You will be introduced to the world of programming through this and get excellent exposure too.

How is Civil Engineering at NIT Calicut? Is it worth studying? What is its package?

KS
Kalyan Sahu Posted On : August 19th, 2023
Lives in Bhubaneshwar

As a Civil Engineering student, I will dissuade you from pursuing this branch. You might be considering Civil for the tag of IITs, NITs or BITS. The campus placement scenario is not good for Civil and you will be left to either pursue an MS abroad or prepare for GATE/ESE. Both these options have nothing to do with the college tag. You can get an IT job through campus placements, but core jobs are highly difficult to grab. Also, the salary you will be offered in core jobs will not be at par with your NITian tag. Practically speaking, to crack GATE and ESE is more difficult than to crack JEE Mains because of one’s age group at this point. Other government exams are highly irregular and can not be depended upon.

For an average student, it is better to go for CSE or Electronics at an average NIT/ other college. The scenario is not pleasant for Core branches, especially Civil, in India. However, if you are passionate about pursuing Civil, its official placement figures for 2022 are provided by NIT Calicut.

These are the official figures for Civil Engineering 2022 placements at NIT Calicut -

I suggest you consult with the seniors and alumni of the Civil branch of NIT Calicut to get a clearer understanding of the ground reality. Go ahead with this branch if you are passionate about it, otherwise choose among the Circuit branches.
