What are the marks 2 required to get a B Com seat in Loyola College?

NS
Neeraj Sharma Posted On : October 4th, 2021
B.A Economics,Loyola College,Chennai

B.Com is one of the most sought-after groups at Loyola and the competition for a seat is fierce. There are reservations if you are a member of the SC/ST or a Roman Catholic. More than 60% of the seats are filled with this. 

If you are from a different religion and fall under the general category, for the morning shift, the expected cutoff ranges from 95 to 99 percent. 

Being a minority college founded with the goal of supporting the educational goals of young Catholics, preference is given to RC priority.

This is a guideline for general cut-offs and it changes year to year based on overall results, but your achievements in sports, dance, NCC, and other activities might help you have greater opportunities than others.

How do admissions happen in FMS Delhi in the CW category?

SP
Sai Pillai Posted On : January 3rd, 2026

Admission chances depend on entrance exam scores, category reservation, state quota, and annual competition levels.

Assessment factors:

  • Previous Cutoff Trends: Analyze last 3 years' data for your category and branch.
  • Category Reservation: Cutoffs vary significantly across General, OBC, SC, ST, and EWS.
  • State Quota Benefits: Home state candidates often have 10-20 percentile lower cutoffs.
  • Branch Popularity: CSE and ECE have higher cutoffs than mechanical or civil.
  • Counseling Rounds: Later rounds may see reduced cutoffs—participate in all rounds.

Use official predictors and last year's cutoff data. Prepare backup options across different rounds and colleges.

What's the girl to boy ratio in IIIT Delhi?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : October 7th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

I have friends in both institutes and from what I have heard, the IIIT Delhi faculty is quite arrogant and has no interest in teaching. The professors at IIT Delhi were very approachable during internships and expressed their willingness to work with the students and help them find their thought processes. On the other hand, IIIT Delhi professors would mock you if you were unable to answer a particular question.

A friend shared an incident at IIT Delhi when one of the professors committed an unintentional mistake and retook his interview to apologize. Your Ph.D. depends a lot on the kind of professors you work under and I will never recommend you to do a Ph.D. under such arrogant professors

What's the girl to boy ratio in IIIT Delhi??

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : October 7th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

IIIT Delhi has a decent gender ratio in comparison to other engineering colleges. The girl-to-boy ratio at IIIT-Delhi in the recent batches was

  • B.Tech. 2012-2016 ~ 40%
  • B.Tech. 2013-2017 ~ 25-30%
  • B.Tech. 2014-2018 ~ 10%

The ratio is not expected to improve as the cut-offs are decreased each year. The gender ratio is not an important aspect to be considered during admission. It’s better to focus on important factors like faculty, infrastructure, placements, course curriculum, etc.

IIIT Delhi has no gender bias and females are represented at all levels. If there are not enough female members in the Student Council, more female members are nominated and invited to join the council. Many clubs even award special prizes for the best female coder in most of its biweekly contests. So irrespective of your gender, you will experience a very progressive environment at IIIT Delhi.

How is civil engineering at IIT Patna?

PB
Pranjal Bhargava Posted On : June 21st, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Patna

The Civil Engineering department of IIT Patna is well-regarded. Here are a few pros and cons to ensure a better understanding of the branch.

Pros

  • The student-teacher ratio is ideal and ensures individual attention to every student
  • The faculty is young and zealous in contrast to old professors in the other IITs. They are cooperative and approachable thus making matters easier
  • The institute has been established recently so the infrastructure and facilities are new and plentiful. Every student gets the opportunity to actually perform the experiment and handle the instruments.
  • The small batch size means lesser competition and better grades.
  • The city of Bihar has many opportunities in the form of innumerable projects like Bihar Govt., College Construction work, etc that seek approval from the department. This ensures maximum practical exposure and fieldwork.
  • The course structure is flexible, modern, and updated as per industry needs. The old courses have been denounced and new courses in versatile domains have been added to ensure a hybrid course structure.

Cons

  • The small batch size results in lesser competition and thus limits the growth of the students.
  • The research culture especially in the UG programs is pathetic.

Make the final decision based on your personal preferences and after weighing the above points.

How is the hostel life at NICMAR Pune?

NG
Niladri Ghose Posted On : May 26th, 2023
National Institute of Construction Management and Research, Pune

NICMAR Pune has its own hostel with 1139 single-occupancy rooms for boys and 194 shared occupancy rooms for girls. NICMAR campus is beautiful, and tho the traffic in Pune might irritate you a bit, I am pretty sure you won't be getting enough time to go outside your college. So the campus resides in one of the major IT hubs in Pune i.e. Balewadi Rd. The cost of living is also at the lower end which makes it easier for you to hand out in the vicinity.

Can someone who has opted for a branch change in IIT Kanpur share their experience?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : April 24th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

My brother shared his branch change experience which wasn’t as difficult as people claim it to be. You did require more than average efforts and were challenging but not impossible. He was able to manage it by completing his assignments regularly and being focused in class. Your goal has to be to get a high CPI by being consistent with your studies.

At IIT Kanpur, you can either have a fun-filled college life experience or you can excel in academics, the choice is yours. It’s all about priorities. I know many nerds who worked day and night and eventually got CPI 10 after their first year. It’s all about your priorities. Basically, a 9+ CPI is not that difficult to achieve and a 10 requires some extra effort.

However, uncertainties always happen, and depending solely on branch change is not a wise decision.

I graduated from IIT Roorkee studying mechanical engineering with a 6+ CGPA. Now I am unable to find any job. How do I go about it?

RS
Radhika Srivastava Posted On : April 15th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee

If you are extremely desperate for a job, you should switch domains instead. 6 years is a long time for one to realize that their domain did not offer them any good opportunities. 

Firstly, give up the idea of core jobs and open yourself to IT, the most demanded discipline right now.

For those who have basic knowledge of coding, things will become a tad bit easier. But if you are new to the coding world, don’t worry, you will be able to cope well. Start with learning one programming language preferably JAVA. After gaining a certain level of knowledge, appear for either of these exams

  • AMCAT - Easy evaluation with a plethora of noncore-opportunities from mediocre to average package
  • Elitmus - Quality assessment, a bit challenging for beginners but opens doors for high-paying jobs at MNCs. Additionally, your IIT tag will help.

Based on your inclination and level of preparation choose anyone one of these 2 exams and wait for excellent job opportunities.

If you are still adamant about Mechanical, ask any of your friends who work in a reputed firm to drop your resume or refer you for internships that can be later converted to full-time jobs.
