I got 222 in my NMAT exam, what is my conversion chance for NMIMS Mumbai??

AD
Anuraag Das Posted On : April 25th, 2023
Studied at MBA from NMIMS (2020)

 NMIMS Mumbai is one of the top-ranked business schools in India, and securing admission to this institute can be a highly competitive process. While your NMAT score is impressive, the final admission decision depends on various other factors as well. Here are some key points to consider when assessing your conversion chances for NMIMS Mumbai:

  • Cutoff Percentile: NMIMS Mumbai has a cutoff percentile for the NMAT exam, which varies each year based on factors such as the number of applicants and the difficulty level of the exam. In general, the cutoff percentile for NMIMS Mumbai is around 94-95 percentile. However, meeting the cutoff percentile is just the first step towards securing admission, as the institute also takes into account other factors such as academic performance, work experience, and performance in the Personal Interview (PI) and Group Discussion (GD) rounds.
  • Work Experience: NMIMS Mumbai values candidates with work experience, as it helps to bring a diverse range of perspectives to the classroom. If you have work experience, it can give you an edge over other candidates and increase your chances of getting selected.
  • Academic Performance: Your academic performance in your undergraduate degree is also an important factor that is considered during the admission process. NMIMS Mumbai looks for candidates with a strong academic record, particularly in quantitative subjects such as Mathematics and Statistics.
  • Extracurricular Activities: Your involvement in extracurricular activities, such as sports, cultural events, or volunteering, can also be a plus point in your application. NMIMS Mumbai looks for well-rounded candidates who can contribute to the institute's community beyond academics.
  • Interview Performance: The Personal Interview (PI) and Group Discussion (GD) rounds play a crucial role in the final admission decision. Your communication skills, knowledge of current affairs, and overall personality are assessed during these rounds. It's essential to prepare well for these rounds and showcase your strengths and achievements confidently.

In conclusion, with a score of 222 on the NMAT exam, you have a good chance of meeting the cutoff percentile for NMIMS Mumbai. However, securing admission also depends on other factors such as academic performance, work experience, and performance in the PI and GD rounds. It's essential to prepare well and present your best self during the admission process.

Should I take electrical engineering in new IITs like Ropar, Patna, and Dhanbad or physics in old IITs like Kharagpur and Roorkee or computer science at NIT Hamirpur?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : June 21st, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Anyone getting admission to any IIT should not consider NITs then. It’s true that the old IITs have better infrastructure and brand value than tier-2 IITs but these new IITs are still in their development stage and haven’t reached their conclusion. Considering their huge growth over the past decade, they will reach new heights in the future

The new IITs provide better opportunities and freedom to students as the foundation of the college isn’t very strong so they build it alongside. The students grow and develop their personalities along with the growing institute. There is no compromise in the quality of education as the faculty is recruited after tremendous filtering. 

The branch is more important than the college so don’t choose a less preferred branch in an old IIT just for the brand value rather go for the branch of your choice in a new IIT.

As for Physics, it requires genuine commitment and interest. Go for it only if you are certain of a career in it as the options in this branch are limited in contrast to Electrical Engineering. That being said, IIT Ropar is one of the best second-generation IITs, and its curriculum is very flexible and the location is also great. So my final recommendation would be to go for IIT Ropar Electrical.

Which is better for CSE: NIT Hamirpur or NSIT/DTU?

PG
Pawan Gupta Posted On : March 16th, 2022
B.Tech in Computer Engineering, Delhi Technological University

NSIT/DTU is far better than NIT Hamirpur for CSE. 

Be it academics, placement, research culture, peer group, exposure, etc. NSIT/DTU will offer better opportunities. These two institutes also have a locational advantage. Due to the favorable location, you can easily get good exposure in the CSE domain. NSIT and DTU both will offer you plenty of opportunities. However, many students prefer NSIT for their small student intake.

Which is better, NIT Kurukshetra or COEP Pune?

AD
Aditi Deshpande Posted On : September 1st, 2023
Lives in Pune,Maharashtra

Both NIT Kurukshetra and COEP are good colleges. As a student of COEP Pune, I can tell you about my college in detail-

Weaknesses-

  1. COEP won’t provide you with cross-cultural exposure like NIT Kurukshetra.
  2. The NIT tag does offer some advantage when it comes to higher studies in foreign universities.
  3. The academics are quite rigorous. You can’t prepare for your exams the night before and hope to pass.

Strengths-

  1. The strength of COEP resides in its extracurricular activities, both on the national and international level-
  • COEP students perform really well in BAJA SAE and Supra.
  • The theater students perform really well. Some of them have caught the eyes of famous people like Mahesh Manjerekar in the past.
  • Bhau Institute is a highly active startup incubator.
  • COEP is among the very few colleges in India with a Boat Club. It hosts Regata- the biggest boating festival in India. Students from COEP visit Portugal, Africa, etc. to participate in boating competitions.
  1. COEP has a strong alumni network. Its alumni list includes civil servants, graduates from renowned universities, and people working in 

brands like Amazon USA, Google, Facebook, Tesla Motors, etc.

  1. The core placements are decent and IT placements are good at COEP.

Thus, COEP is a good college. According to me, after your graduation from either of these, you should go for a PG.

Is GATE easy or IIT JEE?

AM
Akriti Mauriya Posted On : May 17th, 2022
CSE from Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad, India

Both GATE and IIT JEE are difficult. The selection rate is comparably less for IIT JEE, as millions of students take the examination each year. 

In GATE, you will appear for your branch of study, so it is easier in that respect. But scoring well is difficult, especially for branches like CSE, EEE, etc. 

In terms of syllabus, IIT JEE covers more subjects. Although the number of subjects is less in GATE, you need to have in-depth knowledge to score under 1000. 

Overall, GATE has a less competitive environment, but it has its fair share of difficulties.

How are girls hostels at NIT Hamirpur?

PT
Pari Tripathi Posted On : September 13th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur (2019)

Depending on your year, you’ll be allotted one of these hostels at NIT Hamirpur-

  • AGH- AGH is allotted to first and second year girls. This hostel has very spacious rooms. The rooms are really good in comparison to those at boys’ hostels. Each room is shared by three girls and divided into three sections, with curtains at the entrance. You’ll get two attached balconies, which you’ll share with the side rooms. The corridors are spacious and wide. AGH is located 1 km downhill from the academic block. Thus, the walk back and forth is quite exhausting. First year girls have to be back by 6 pm. In the 2nd year, this timing is extended to 8 pm.
  • PGH- You’ll be allotted PGH from 3rd year of your degree. Its rooms are very small. Monkeys and lizards are occasional visitors. Final year students, though not all, are allotted single rooms. It is comparatively closer to the academic block (closer by mere 100 meters). You won’t have to climb uphill as before. The hostel timing for 3rd and 4th year girls remains 8 pm.

Mrs. Awasthi is a bit strict as a warden, Mrs. Kaur is nice and helpful. You will be allotted either of them. The mess food is quite decent in both the girls’ hostels, much better than the boys’ hostels. 

Thus, overall, girls’ hostels at NIT Hamirpur are quite decent.
