Now let’s discuss these criteria individually and also how to prepare for each of them.
CAT: The CAT score accounts for the maximum which is 50% of the marks required for admission. This means with a high percentile (99+) you can easily increase your chances of getting a call irrespective of your past academic performance. The CAT exam has three sections.
VARC (40% weightage): Reading essays and newspapers like The Hindu is a good way to enhance your verbal ability.
LRDI (30% weightage): The main key to cracking this section is to pick an easy set. This can be achieved only after constant practice. By calculating fast you can attempt more sets. If you can solve 3 sets out of 6 sets, you will touch the 99 percentile.
QUANT: Cover all the basics possible. Understand the theory and don’t just learn formulas
Academic Score: This score constitutes 20% of the total composite score required for admission. Anything above 75% in 10 and 12 will get you 20%. But above 60 and below 75 will get you 5% only.
SOP: The SOP or Statement Of Purpose clarifies your motives for your admission. It accounts for 10% of the composite score. You will have to write about your work experiences and why you are willing to pursue an MBA. Be clear in your goals and you are good to go.
Personal Interview: This constitutes 15% of the composite score. Things that you will be questioned about include your graduation subjects, current affairs, internships, and your previous courses. Answer every question confidently as this is the first interaction with your professors and the impression will last a long time.
Extempore: The weightage for this is 5%. This aims at analyzing your spontaneity, and knowledge on general topics and checks how you can organize your thoughts on the spot. Practice daily on social, and economical topics and try to know about different domains and speak on these topics for 3–4 minutes.
From the CAT center to the final round, what matters the most are your English skills. How well you comprehend in the exam, think in extempore and speak when interviewed. So enhancing your English skills will take you a long way.
What if I get into a low ranked DU college?
Getting admission to DU is a big deal. You should not feel apathetic and discouraged even if you do not get a top-ranked college. Every college of DU has an equal value when you get the degree. The faculties are cooperative and supportive. They are always ready to help the students.
The only major differences are the infrastructure and the surrounding. Simplicity and Uniformity are observed in everyone studying or teaching at DU. Being one among the 2.5k applicants to be accepted into a DU college is something to be proud of. Be content with what you currently have, explore opportunities, and ask your seniors for assistance if necessary.
"Getting into a good college" is an exaggerated and superficial concept and sincere courtesy goes to the media. Every DU college follows the same teaching standards.
It is a fact that everything happens for a reason. On Facebook, there was a post titled "Humans of SRCC" in which a few students expressed their thoughts and issues they had encountered at the college. They claim that they do not fit in at SRCC's fast-paced environment and that they feel isolated at times.
So, rather than regretting or overthinking what fate has in store for them, one should always accept it with grace and satisfaction.
Is it difficult to take admission in NLSIU Banglore?
According to some of the student reviews, I read online, I would say that the answer depends on your preparation for the entrance exam CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) if you wish to get into any National Law Schools/Universities in India.
Every exam is competitive since there are so many other students appearing for the exam along with you. NLSIU's intake is very minimal when compared to others. Its syllabus is quite challenging and the students there get prepared as quite good lawyers.
Roughly, you will have to make sure that you rank in the first 50 in All India Rank (AIR) if you belong to the general category, and you get a little more margin if you belong to any reservation category.
