Hello, Getting shortlisted for IIM Lucknow or IIT Bombay (SJMSOM) with your profile is challenging, primarily due to your 58% in Class 10th, which significantly impacts the composite score calculation for both institutes. While your 98 percentile CAT score is excellent, and your 24 months of work experience, B.Com (Hons) background (providing academic diversity, especially for IIM-L), and KVS National player status are valuable additions, top IIMs and IITs heavily weigh consistent academic performance. Your 74% in 12th is also on the lower side. IIM Lucknow places substantial weight on 10th and 12th marks, making a call quite difficult despite your strengths. You likely have a relatively better, though still uncertain, chance at IIT Bombay, as their weighting might be slightly less penalizing for past academics compared to IIM-L, and your high CAT score is a major factor. However, the low 10th score remains a significant hurdle for both prestigious institutions.

I hope you found this information helpful and for study related queries you can ask in careers360 app, Have a great day and!

Hey,

You already have a strong profile with the score of 58% in Class 10, 74% in Class 12, and 80% in graduation, but admission in IIT Bombay, Shailesh J Mehta School of Management is quite competitive, especially if you are in general category because the cutoff for general goes to 98.5-99%. Your CAT percentage is impressive but your 10th marks might reduce your score during the shortlisting process. If you perform well in Written Ability Test and Personal Interview, and present your commerce background you still stand a fair chance. But it would also be wise if you have some backups like MDI Gurugram, IMT Ghaziabad, IMI Delhi, where your marks and profile will fit well in their selection range.

Hello,

Eligibility for the Junior Engineer (JE) exam mainly depends on the organization conducting it, for example, SSC JE , State PSC JE , or Railway JE .

Generally, the Junior Engineer post requires a Diploma or Degree in Engineering (like Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, etc.) from a recognized university.

Since you have a BA and are now pursuing MSc in Computer Science , you are not eligible for most JE exams because they require a technical engineering qualification , not a science or arts degree.

However, you can apply for other exams related to your background, such as:

• SSC CGL/CHSL

• State PSC exams for administrative or clerical posts

• Bank exams

• UPSC Civil Services

If you want to work as a Junior Engineer in the future, you would need to complete a Diploma or B.Tech in Engineering from a recognized institute.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

With 98 marks in GUJCET, you have a good chance of getting an ECE seat in a government engineering college in Gujarat, as a score between 80 and 120 is considered good and can help you target a reputed college. However, the 58% may decrease your chances of admission, so you have to take care of it.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello dear student,

98 marks in GUJCET is a very good marks, but 58% may reduce your overall merit rank as both class and GUJCET marks are considered.

You have some chances for ECE in government colleges but not in the top ones. so, you should keep other branches as backup as well.

Hello

You scored 98 marks in GUJCET, which is a strong score. Well done
Your 58 in board exams (due to an accident) might lower your overall merit a bit.
Still, there's a fair chance you could get ECE in a government engineering college, especially in later rounds.
Top colleges may be harder to get into due to high cut-offs, but some mid-level government colleges might take you. Your GUJCET score definitely helps balance out the low board marks.

Hello,

Typically the cutoff for aerospace engineering is determined by the entrance exam (like JEE Advanced or GATE) and institution and category-like factors. For example, in the JEE Advanced, you need to rank in ranges of 1400 to 2800 for admission to top IITs in the general category.

I hope it will clear your category!!

If you want to become Software engineer, you can choose either degree or diploma courses.

Degree courses :

• B.Tech in CSE ( It covers coding, algorithms, AI, software engineering, and system design. Most valued by top companies.)
• BCA ( It gives a good base in programming and software development.)

Diploma courses :

• Diploma in Software Engineering :  It’s a 3-year course that teaches practical skills like coding, building websites, and managing databases and perfect if you want to start working quickly.

Hi! If you want to become a software engineer quickly, a diploma alone may not be enough. You can start with a diploma or certification in programming, but focus on learning languages like Python, Java, or C++, along with web development and databases. Short term coding bootcamps, online courses, and internships will also help you gain practical skills. Later, doing a B.Tech or B.Sc. in Computer Science or IT will give you stronger career growth.
