As the daily scale of competition is constantly on the verge of increasing, it is getting important to obtain as many marks as possible while in graduation because it is the first deciding point when you will apply. 

Alongside, it also daily is based on factors like the CAT percentile, your marks in XI/XII, and category. However, it is always better to work harder on the facts that concern your personal responsibilities, such as being on the elevated side either in CAT, or the graduation marks, if you are yet to graduate. And if someone gets past the gates of IIM with poor grades by absolutely any mistake then the kit for survival within the campus will count as the toughest.

IIM provides 10% weightage to your graduation score, so you should keep it at check. In fact, if you are anyhow successful in securing yourself a percentage above 80, then it will give you a full 10,and unfortunately standing somewhere above 70 will give you 8 points in this arena.

Both your standardised 12th grade marks, might not entirely, but definitely donates at least one part of being involved in your shortlisting procedure. Unlike many other colleges and universities, your CAT score is very important and holds severe value, so cracking into the 99 percentile of CAT will speed your admission chances.

Anything below 70 sounds typically hard to face, yet if you somehow have a score like that, you are most probably out of chances to be admissible in IIM, Ahmedabad.

Faculty plays an important role before joining a college and one should do proper research beforehand. It is suggested to do a personal survey before enrolling in any university.

Both Calcutta University and Burdwan University are the premier universities of West Bengal. NAAC has awarded an ‘A’ grade to Burdwan University whereas Calcutta University received an ‘A++’.

For more information, the table gives a brief description of both universities:

Marks secured in the entrance exam also play an important factor in securing the seat. One can easily secure admission in Burdwan University with less marks but it is difficult to get into Calcutta University. 

While being in a capital city nearby Metro transportation is cheaper and convenient. Yet, the typical cost for basic items is relatively low near Burdwan University, but this limits the scope and facilities of the college.

The syllabus and the course curriculum of both the colleges are more or less the same. Kolkata offers a great opportunity for part-time jobs to the students. Therefore, if one has to choose a college they should do full research, take advice from teachers, friends and then apply for it.?
