Colleges Accepting CAT Scores
Hello Greetings
As a ward of defence, you may be eligible for a concession in the admission process at Symbiosis Institute of Management Studies (SIMS). However, the GD-PI call is based on various factors, including your SNAP percentile, academic performance, and work experience.
SNAP Percentile and GD-PI Call
A SNAP percentile of 62 is a decent score, but it may not guarantee a GD-PI call from SIMS. The institute typically shortlists candidates with higher percentiles, usually above 70-75.
Defence Quota
As a ward of defence, you may be eligible for a concession in the admission process. SIMS has a defence quota, which reserves a certain percentage of seats for wards of defence personnel. However, this quota is subject to certain conditions and eligibility criteria.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for the defence quota, you'll need to meet the following conditions:
1. *Defence personnel*: Your parent/spouse should be a serving or retired defence personnel.
2. *Certificate*: You'll need to produce a certificate from the defence authorities, confirming your parent's/spouse's defence background.
3. *SNAP registration*: You should have registered for SNAP and applied to SIMS under the defence quota.
GD-PI Call
While your SNAP percentile of 62 may not guarantee a GD-PI call, your defence quota eligibility may improve your chances. SIMS may consider your application under the defence quota and shortlist you for the GD-PI process.
Next Steps
To increase your chances of getting a GD-PI call, make sure to:
1. *Apply under the defence quota*: Ensure that you've applied to SIMS under the defence quota and provided the required certificate.
2. *Meet the eligibility criteria*: Verify that you meet the eligibility criteria for the defence quota.
3. *Prepare for GD-PI*: Prepare for the GD-PI process by practicing your communication skills, staying updated on current events, and preparing your resume and SOP.
Keep in mind that the GD-PI call is subject to the institute's discretion, and meeting the eligibility criteria does not guarantee a call.
Have a great day
