Hey aspirant
Yes, you are very much eligible to apply for CS executive course as the minimum eligibility required is that a candidate should have completed his/her +2 level of education in any stream, there is no such marks required.
Hope that answers you well. All the best.
I got 10 cgpa in 10th 83 % in 12 th 80% in graduation bcom not from known college any iim calls possible at this profile and if cat score is 95% caste general category non engineer n girl wheather any new iim calls also
HEY THERE FUTURE MANAGER,
IIMs are one of the most prestigious an demanding business school in India . THEY ARE WELL KNOWN FOR THEIR BRAND VALUE AND HIGHLY EQUIPPED STAFF. AROUND 2 LAKHS STUDENTS APPEAR TO TAKE UP THR CAT EXAM WHICH DECIDES THEIR FATE WHETHER THEY CAN MAKE IT THROUGH OR NOT .THE DEMAND FOR THE ADMIISIION IS SO VAST THAT THE SEATS ARE VERY LIMITED HENCE GETTING IN ISNT A SLICE OF CAKE.
LOOKING THROUGH YOUR PREVIOUS ACADEMIC RECORDS , IT SEEMS TO LOOK LIKE U HAVE A BALANCED SCORE IN UR 10TH AND 11 TH BUT IF YOU WANT TO TRY FOR THE OG IIMS SUCH AS A,B,C YOU MUST SCORE ABOVE 98.5 PERCENTILE.
AND FOR THE NEW IIMS MAKE IT 95 PERCENTILE JUST TO BE ON SAFER SIDE
REFER LAST YEAR'S CUTOFF FOR A BETTER IDEA
- IIM Ranchi - 95%ile
- IIM Rohtak - 95%ile
- IIM Trichy - 95%ile
- IIM Bodh Gaya - 90-95%ile
- IIM Vizag - 95%ile
- IIM Sambalpur - 90-95%ile
thank you
in 10th 78% in 12th 53% in graduation 51% can i eligible for fms delhi full time mba programme.
Hi,
I hope you are doing well.
In order to get the FMS you should be good with your 10 & 12 percent.
Don't focus more on that just do bring 99+% in CAT you will selected in FMS because they didn't see your work experience. They will just see 10% weightage of 10 & 12(5%-5% both).
First know that your past academics won't affect your chances. The breakup for final shortlist is 85% for CAT score, 10% Interview, 5% Extempore.
Now, You need at least 98+ %ile with a good verbal percentile to get a call from FMS, let alone converting. Verbal because they have different weightage for different sections. This year it is 40:30:30 for VARC: DILR: QA respectively. For Converting the call it is difficult for a percentile less than 99.
If you are a OBC-NC candidate, a score of 96+ %le would be a good score to begin with.
I hope this helps.

I scored 65% in 10th and 87.5% in 12th and in graduation 90. Can I get into IIMs with these?
Hello,
For IIMS you should give CAT exam . It is generally 99 to 100% for general category students. For reserved category students it will be 97-98%(in CAT 2021)
The older and well known IIMs like IIM A, B and C give considerable weightage to past academic records like Class 10 and 12 marks besides graduation results too.
Your 10th, 12th and Graduation marks carry a weightage of 5-7.5% depending on the IIM you are interested in. As you have scored well in your graduation you are eligible for CAT.
Good luck with your preparation for CAT.
And my diploma is of one year which i have done from Calcutta Montessori training centre. i have lots of confusion regarding ctet December 2021 . i have already filled up form. please clear out my doubts in simple language. i have got 56 %in12, 40 percent in graduation TTC course of one year.
Hi
CTET is a national-level exam conducted by CBSE.The Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) is conducted twice a year to determine the eligibility of candidates for appointment as teachers for Classes 1 to 8.
The CTET exam will be held from December 16, 2021 to January 13, 2022 in online mode.
Eligibility criteria is that the ca ndidates should have passed 10+2 with an aggregate of 45% in order to be qualified for the CTET exam as primary teacher. Candidates should have graduated with a minimum of 45 % aggregate marks or 10+2 with at least 50 % aggregate marks in order to be qualified for the CTET exam for elementary school teacher
Candidates also should have completed the required teacher training programmes.
Hope this helps.
i have got 56 percent in class 12 , 40% in graduation. I have done teachers training course from CalcuttaMontessori Training Centre for pere primary and primary school. so i have filled the form of ctet exam 2021..how come i know they ha v e accepted my application
Hi Neha Sharma,
Based on your marks, you have the eligibility to apply for a primary stage teacher as you have 12th with 45% marks. But, you cannot apply for Elementary stage teacher as you don't meet one of the parameter (Graduation with 45% marks ).
If you succeed in scoring marks above 60% (Differ if any reservation applies) then you are declared as qualified. When CTET declares the result on their official website. You can browse through and check whether you are selected or not. If you qualify Paper 1 then you can become a Primary level teacher.
Selection process after clearing the written test :
- Should apply to schools for relevant teacher post and undergo selection process for appointment.
- Based on the vacancies the chances of selection can be figured out.
If you think, your score is not sufficient then any number of attempts can be taken.
Hope this helps.Thanks..
