For the selection of candidates, the scores are of lesser value than the rank. This is because the full marks of certain exams and the cut-offs keep changing year after year. For instance, below listed are the previous years’ records and the cut-off scores: 2019 180/450 2018 175-180/450 2017 185/360 Some key highlights to remember: For general candidates, a merit rank of above 30-35 is almost assured to get a regular seat. If you are not able to make it to a regular seat, the college offers paid seats in which you will have to pay an extra amount of fees (extra Rs. 30,000) per annum. For the general category, a score of above 175-180 is considered to be a good chance for admission to a general seat. For post-graduation in statistics, BHU has about 50+ seats. So, a rank less than 35 is a decent rank for general candidates. In conclusion, the college provides ample seats for every stream. Seats reserved for the meritorious candidates require a certain rank in the entrance examination. The remaining seats are paid seats that require an extra charge every year. Read More

If your friend got CSE at IIT Bombay, that means he/she must belong to the reserved category. Reservation is good (not caste-based) as it evens out the playing field for the students belonging to this category.  For instance, this friend of yours has a rank of 10k- if he is a reservation candidate, his rank would depend entirely on his category. This arrangement is separate from the normal ranking system. And as you've mentioned, if your friend has secured a rank of 10k, chances are- he might have belonged to a list that's open extended. These students from the open extended list don't save a seat for themselves in IITB CSE. But if he has still managed to grab a seat at IITB CSE too, his AIR must have been >25. Comparing such a candidate's rank to the general category list, it should be around 3-4k.  This incident may not reflect equality, but assuming it was a genuine case, it is justified. Read More

For ISB, generally a score between 600 to 780 is considered. There are several notions about admission in ISB Hyderabad and some of them are discussed below in points. There are reviews that state that appearing for GMAT gives no guarantee of admission in ISB, but it’s an assurance that the candidate can adapt himself to the academic pressure of the compressed ISB one-year program. For candidates who are from good institutes and have good academic records and experiences in their resumes, the GMAT is not the only thing to look for. Making a proper application and resume is more important. There are students who have a GMAT score of around 620, with a good profile and work experience, and have got a seat in ISB Hyderabad. On the contrary, there are students with an average profile but an excellent score in GMAT of 720 and have got a seat in Mohali.
