Hello,

Yes, with a 622 rank in IPU CET for MBA and being a Delhi candidate, you have a good chance of getting admission in MAIT (Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology).

You don’t need to worry about not giving the CAT exam. IPU CET rank is enough for admission in MAIT under the CET quota.

Just make sure to keep MAIT high in your preference list during counselling.

Hey! The best way to prepare for any competitive exam like UPSC or CAT is to start with a clear understanding of the syllabus and exam pattern. Make a realistic study plan, stick to quality resources, and focus on understanding concepts rather than just memorizing. Practice regularly with mock tests and previous year papers to improve time management and accuracy. Stay consistent, revise often, and take breaks to avoid burnout. Also, try to analyze your mistakes and work on weak areas. With discipline and the right strategy, you can definitely crack any exam. Stay motivated and focused!

First, contact the CUSAT admissions office by email, explaining the problem and providing your application details. They may ask for additional documents, such as a recent passport-sized photograph. Once they respond, print the admit card and affix the photo in the designated space. Make sure to handle this promptly to avoid any issues on the day of the exam.

Hi aspirant,

As of the CAT 2024 exam for the MBA class of 2025-2027 at IIM Mumbai, the NC-OBC (Non-Creamy Other Backward Classes) category requires an overall percentile of 75.

It is essential to understand that these are the minimal qualifying percentiles required to go to the next level, the Personal Interview (PI). The actual cutoffs for receiving a PI call may be much higher, depending on the number of candidates, their profiles, and IIM Mumbai's special admission requirements for the year.

A higher score will considerably improve your chances of being shortlisted for the PI process.
