• Interviews and GD : Even if you meet the minimum cutoff, interviews and group discussions are a mandatory part of the selection process. They assess your communication skills, leadership qualities, and overall fit for the program.
  
  Recommendations:

1. Check the official cutoff for USMS for your specific year.
