What jobs an engineer should go if he didnt get campus placement. And want to get into IIMs so that his work experience get counted in his gap years ( Please name them) ?
Dear Aspirant, apart from college placements, it depends on your stream and area of interest. Choose your area of interest and develop the skillset required. Suppose you want to go in the developing field, for that brush up your coding skills. Meanwhile there are opportunities like marketing and content writing if you have interest in same. Also to get into IIMs, cat score is the key, based on the score and your previous history of marks you will be called for the interview. Having co- curricular certificates will be cherry on the cake. For gap years, you can choose an easy work from home sort of paid internship or do certified courses available on online platform like Coursera, udemy. All the best.

i have 10 cgp in 10th, 97%in 12th and 78% in graduation. 2years work experience, appearing in CAT 2020 as PWD category non engineering female candidate. How much percentile is required to get a call from IIM AHMEDABAD, BANGLURU and Kolkata.
hello aspirant ...
The overall lowest cut-off for top IIMs:
You will get a call from IIM if you touch 90 percentile or above (except for IIM A which has a lower cut-off) The overall cutoffs are as follows:
| Sr. No. | IIMs | Minimum overall cut-off |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IIM Ahmedabad | 80 percentile |
| 2 | IIM Bangalore | 90.6 percentile |
| 3 | IIM Calcutta | 90 percentile |
| 4 | IIM Lucknow | 90 percentile |
| 5 | IIM Indore | 90.5 percentile |
| 6 | IIM Kozhikode | 90 percentile |
Most of the new IIMs have their cut-off requirement set at 85 with IIM Shillong having cut-off set at 70 in CAT.
What really matters is the sectional cut-offs for all three sections. You need to have the minimum cut-off requirement for each section, which differs from IIM to IIM. If you get less than that for anyone of the sections, you will lose that call. For IIM A, this sectional cut-off is the lowest, you need a sectional cut-off of just 70 percentile or above to get a call from them.
If you have a good profile, you have a higher chance of getting a call at a lower percentile, too. Profile in this sense would mean a high percentage / CGPA in your Graduation 10th, 12th and Under. Usually those who have 90 percent and above for all three will be considered for IIM ‘s call (IIM A for sure!) Apart from that if you are an exceptional performer in any extra-curricular activity with awards and recognition, you have a chance of getting a call from IIM.
One surprising fact is the actual cut-off date of IIMs goes on to show that for many IIMs, the actual CAT cut-off is much higher than what institutes announce prior to shortlisting for the further process of the institutes. Except a few of them, the actual interview cut-off of the majority of IIMs falls in the range of 96 to 100 percentile in CAT while the announced cut-off being in the range of 80 to 90 percentile.
hope it helps !
Im a bcom graduate pursuing Company Secretaryship and preparing for LLB entrance simultaneously. Now my interest is shifting towards MBA so i wish to drop out of CS. What should i do, prepare for CAT along with LLB or take up a job , get work experience and prepare for CAT?
It seems you want to go for MBA, you are persuing company secretaryship and also preparing for LLB.
Well if you are serious about getting MBA from IIM you need really good score and great percentile in CAT.
Since you completed your B.Com you can apply for CAT and also this background is advantageous due to less competition as compared to B.Tech students.
I would recommend you to drop CS and go for work experience along with CAT preparations.
Work experience gives you added points during the admission criteria as different IIMs have different criteria for admission of candidates.
After completion of 24 months in your job, you will get 2 points per month. This will give you an advantage over other students.

how much minimum work experience required for switching in another company so that work experience preferred over my poor acedmics??
Hello.,
The work experience differs for every company., But the minimum work experience should be 2 - 3 years. As far coming to the point of your academics then if the company prefer the academic results then you should have minimum experience of 5 years to get their confidence about work.
I think minimum academic percentile should be 75% it would be enough as the hiring would depend on your level of confidence and the performance you would give.
Hope you found this information useful. All the best

My branch is Electrical Engineering and in my college i have very less chance of placements . So what jobs should i go for so that it could be counted as work experience if I want to go for CAT exam ?
In case your institute has bleak placement opportunities, Electrical Engineering is a subject where there are a lot of off campus opportunities and you can always apply in them.
Besides this do develop Non Core skills in Software and Analytics as there are lot of career prospects and jobs in these domains in today's date. Companies like TCS, Wipro, Infosys , Accenture besides many other MnCs often have Off Campus Placement Rounds.
You can perhaps prepare for GATE Exam and apply for PSU Jobs in public sector organizations like BHEL, SAIL, NTPC, BARC, IOCL, etc. Barring a few almost all Public Organizations open for Electrical Engineering.
You can also pursue a Masters degree from higher technical institutes in India like Top IITs and IISc, or perhaps prepare for Management Examinations post B.Tech like CAT, MAT, XAT.
Hence you see Placements are not the last alternative. You have a whole sea of opportunities after that. For more information regarding EE follow the link below
