Hello,
Admission score in Burdwan University based on MAT score is done as
MAT Score(200 marks) + Viva-voce Test(100 marks) + G.D.(100 marks) = Total out of 400 marks.
The top 70 students of the MAT score are called for the GD round and then they move forward with the admission process.
The cutoff scores are decided as per the performance in MAT score and the top 70 performers so wait for the college to release the required cutoff, but accordingly a score of 500+ out of 800 is required to get admission in Burdwan University for MBA.

Dear Daniyel,
Both the SAT and the MAT exams that you have taken are strictly percentile based.
Applicants appeared for the exams would have got more percentile that yours and that would be the reason for your rejection.
However you can take the exam in the next session and try scoring a percentile of more than 85 which may be a better chance to get qualified.
Best of luck.
Hi,
A score of minimum 600 is a valid score to get a call from NIT hamirpur for mba admissions.
Although it also depends upon the pool of candidates applying and your overall profile is also taken into consideration.
All the best.
Hello Adarsh,
The cutoff for IEM Kolkata is 60%, the infrastructure is good and basic facilities are provided. Regarding placement record almost every student is placed and there is 100% placement, but the package offered is not good. Average salary package offered is as low as 5 LPA.
On the other hand Doon Business School, the infrastructure is average but good facilities are provided. Placement record of college is good with about 90% of the students getting placed and package ranges from 5 to 15 LPA.
So personally I think Doon business school is better
Thank you
