Which is most popular in India: The Delhi University or the Calcutta University?
Among these, Calcutta University is better. The university sets the most difficult question papers. You need to put in a lot of effort to score even 60 percent. With the same amount of effort, you can score 80 percent in DU.
Naturally, CU puts emphasis on in-depth learning. CU students have a more academic-oriented life. While students of DU have the freedom to carry out secondary endeavors.
Which college should I choose, Symbiosis School of Economics or DU colleges like Deshbandhu College, Lakshmibai College, etc.?
You should choose DU colleges. The academic environment and the student culture of DU are excellent. It gives ample opportunities for the students to upskill. As a student of a DU college, you will get to participate in cultural fests, MUNs, departmental fests, ad-hocs, etc. These experiences help students learn and grow.
What is the minimum CAT score required to get into IIM A, B, C or FMS, DU or MDI, Gurgaon?
The entire admission process to any college is divided into 2 broad spectrums; the initial shortlisting and the Final Selection. While it is easy to get a rough estimate of the minimum CAT score required to fetch calls from institutes like IIM ABC, FMS Delhi, and MDI Gurgaon, one cannot predict the CAT score required to get selected in the final round. This is because the final selection is done on the basis of a number of factors like CAT, Interview, academic background and overall profile. Based on my research and experience, I have tried my best to give a general overview of the CAT cutoff of these institutes individually.
IIM Ahmedabad: The minimum CAT score required for admission in IIM Ahmedabad MBA (PGP) for 2023 Admission is the 80 percentile. However, the actual CAT Cutoff for IIM Ahmedabad usually ranges between 99-100. They shortlist the top 50/100 people from different academic fields provided they clear the basic cutoff.
IIM Bangalore: The minimum cutoff for MBA Admission at IIM Bangalore is 85 percentile. However, candidates having a CAT Score of 99 percentile or more can expect a call from IIM Bangalore. They weigh in things like academic records and work-ex for giving out interview calls. So you can receive a call at a score of 95 and you can also not receive a call even at 99.99 %ile.
IIM Calcutta: Candidates must have obtained at least 85 percentile in CAT overall. IIM Calcutta gives major weightage to the CAT score and gender diversity.
FMS Delhi: FMS gives calls solely on the basis of CAT score and does not give any weightage to past academics at all. So the FMS CAT cutoff is as high as the 98 percentile.
MDI Gurgaon: MDI Gurgaon CAT Cutoff range between 93 and 95 percentile for admission 2023.
What rank in DU LLB entrance exam will make me eligible for hostel?
A rank in the top 50 is secured for general category students, but you should try even if you are in the top 100 or 200. Women from the general category may apply even if they are not in the top 500.
Even if one's name is among the top 500 or 1000 on the general merit list, one should apply for the SC/ST/PH categories. You never know what your luck will be.
In addition, hostel seats are available in the second and third years of LLB based on your first or second year grades. So, if you don't get a hostel seat in first year LLB, you can work hard to get good grades (at least 60% in our time) and apply in second year.
Mansarowar, Jubilee Hall, Gwyer Hall, PG Men's, DS Kothari, and ISH are the six men's hostels, and UHW or PGW and Meghdoot are the two women's hostels. Later, a few more hostels for women candidates from the north-east and SC/ST categories will be added. It is critical to be vigilant and apply to as many hostels as possible.
A Law Hall, an exclusive hostel for the Law Faculty, could play a significant role in significantly improving legal education at DU. A Law Hall for men and another for women can be of great assistance to meritorious students from across India who want to join the law faculty but are concerned about finding housing in Delhi.
Which are the best colleges for Political Science honors at DU?
If you are looking for a good college, you need a 90% or higher. There are Hindu, Ramjas, KMC, SGTB, and Hansraj for Political Science. And, to assist you further, Ramjas and Hindu College are the best choices among these.
Keep a close eye on all of the deadlines before applying for admission. Go to North Campus on the day of the first cutoff. There are many senior students who can advise new students on good colleges, exposure, faculty, infrastructure, and so on. You should visit different colleges based on your cutoff and talk to everyone about the subjects you have to study in addition to Political Science because each college offers different subjects that may or may not be of interest to you.
You should also look at college rankings. You must not forget to follow these steps before going straight for admission: carefully check cutoffs, visit colleges for guidance, and change admission if necessary if you get a good college in the next one.

What should I read to crack DU JAT BMS?
The sources and preparation strategies that should be followed for cracking DU JAT BMS are mentioned below:
-
Quantitative Ability:
-
NCERT XI-XII: This is the most important source you must thoroughly review in order to have a good chance of receiving SSCBS. Modern math accounts for 70% of the total questions asked in this section, which covers topics from classes XI-XII. Complex numbers, probability, P&C, matrices, differentiation, and arithmetic progressions are the most important topics.
-
Objective Math textbook: Basic mathematics accounts for 30% of the quant section and includes topics such as time, speed, distance, averages, percentages, ratios, and proportions.
-
Brush up on your Calculation: Being fast is the simplest way to get ahead of the competition. Make sure you understand squares up to 30, cubes up to 20, and can quickly add and multiply two and three-digit numbers. This would give you a competitive advantage.
-
General/ Business Awareness:
-
Newspaper: Make it a habit to read the newspaper for at least an hour every day. Reading the whole thing is not necessary. Sports, economics, world news, and editorials are the most important sections.
-
App Jagran Josh: It is the best online resource for improving your general knowledge and growing as a person in general. It publishes weekly current events and quizzes based on them, which aids in thorough preparation. You can also read monthly current affairs to get a detailed overview of the month. Make sure you read up on current events at least 7 months before the exam date.
-
Google searches: The best thing to get ahead of others was to conduct specific Google searches. Make separate lists and thoroughly revise the important topics that appear frequently in JAT (national parks, geographical features, awards and honors, taglines).
-
Pearson publication: Static GK is becoming increasingly important for acing the exam, so it is necessary to prepare for this section. You could use any static GK book. The Pearson book, on the other hand, is excellent.
-
Verbal Ability:
-
Norman Lewis's Word Power: It is the best book for acknowledging your language skills even at the CAT level. The first half of the book based on word roots is less significant (very crucial in general) at the JAT level, and the second half of the book with a list of difficult words is the most essential component. Figure out how to learn those odd 800 words, and you'll be able to find keywords from the list.
-
Bakshi, SP English objective: It is an excellent resource for preparing homonyms, antonyms, and synonyms. Also the best book for practicing one-word substitutions and idioms, which are two of the most important topics for JAT.
-
Logical Reasoning:
-
It is the simplest topic to prepare for because the level of LR at JAT is beginner, and you should attempt all 25 questions in this section. To adequately prepare for all adversaries, you should solve CAT beginner-level LR questions.
These resources will assist you in properly preparing for the exam. Though it is only one component, your exam taking strategy will have a significant impact on your score.
