Hello Siddhi,

Your chances of being accepted into the SIES PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management) program with an 85th percentile in MBA CET, a CGPA of 9.01 in BSc Biotechnology, 61.34% in 12th standard, and 84.20% in 10th standard look promising. However, admissions depend on several factors beyond just entrance exam scores and academic performance:

Factors Affecting Admission:

1. Entrance Exam Score : An 85th percentile in MBA CET is decent and competitive for SIES, but top-ranked candidates might be preferred for the first round. SIES usually has high cut-offs, but with your score, you're still in a good position.
   
   

2. Academic Record : Your CGPA of 9.01 in BSc Biotechnology is excellent and showcases consistent academic performance. This will positively impact your application.
   
   

3. Interview & Group Discussion (GD) : SIES conducts Group Discussions (GD) and Personal Interviews (PI) as part of their selection process. Performing well in these rounds can significantly boost your chances, even if your CET percentile is not the highest.
   
   

4. Work Experience : If you have relevant work experience or internships, it could add weight to your application.
   
   

5. Extracurriculars : Leadership roles, certifications, and participation in extracurricular activities might be additional positive factors.

With your academic performance and 85th percentile , you stand a solid chance, but your selection will ultimately depend on your performance in the GD-PI rounds . To increase your chances, prepare thoroughly for the GD-PI and highlight your strengths, like your strong academic background and any relevant skills or experiences.
