Hello,

with a 74,000 rank in VITEEE, getting CSE at VIT-AP in category 1 is unlikely, but category 2 is possible depending on seat availability. CSE is highly competitive, but VIT-AP generally has lower cutoffs than Vellore or Chennai campuses.keep backup options and consider related branches like CSE with specializations.

Hi aspirant,

As of the CAT 2024 exam for the MBA class of 2025-2027 at IIM Mumbai, the NC-OBC (Non-Creamy Other Backward Classes) category requires an overall percentile of 75.

It is essential to understand that these are the minimal qualifying percentiles required to go to the next level, the Personal Interview (PI). The actual cutoffs for receiving a PI call may be much higher, depending on the number of candidates, their profiles, and IIM Mumbai's special admission requirements for the year.

A higher score will considerably improve your chances of being shortlisted for the PI process.

The CAT is a great option after graduation if you're interested in pursuing an MBA and building a career in management. It can open doors to top business schools like IIMs and lead to lucrative corporate roles. However, if you're not interested in management, there are other career options like higher studies, certifications, or entrepreneurship. Consider your career goals, interests, and investment before deciding.



Hello,

Yes, CAT is a better option if you want to pursue an MBA from top institutes like the IIMs and other reputed B-Schools in India. It is highly recognized and opens many career opportunities in management. However, if you want other options, exams like XAT, SNAP, or GMAT are also good.

With a 98.55 percentile and rank of 22325 in JEE Main, your son has a reasonable chance of getting into a CSE or related branch at DTU (Delhi Technological University), especially if he's a Delhi region candidate.

DTU's CSE cutoff for general category candidates outside Delhi typically falls within the 10,000-12,000 rank range. A rank of 22325 might be a little high for CSE, but not impossible. It depends on the specific year's competition and seat availability.
