Engineering

Hi,    Your academic profile is quite strong, and being a general engineer female with EWS category can work in your favor when applying to IIMs. Scoring 98+ percentile in CAT would significantly boost your chances of getting calls from top IIMs, especially because many of them consider diversity, category, and gender as important factors during the selection process.  While your 12th-grade score is slightly lower compared to other components of your profile, the overall balance of high scores in 10th, B.Tech, and a strong CAT percentile can compensate for this. Some IIMs weigh CAT scores more heavily, while others have a holistic approach, including academics, work experience, and extracurriculars.  Stay focused on preparing for CAT, and consider mock tests and time management strategies to maximize your score. Best of luck with your journey—all the very best 

No, KEAM is no necessity for following the nursing courses. KEAM is mainly an entrance to pursue engineering courses and architecture courses besides the medical fields of Kerala state. For following the nursing course such as B.Sc Nursing universities and nursing colleges will conduct a test or, generally, gives admissions based upon Class 12 marks. Most institutions accept a national level examination known as NEET for gaining nursing admissions. It is, therefore, recommended to check on the specific requirements of admission by the nursing colleges one is interested in, since each college has different eligibility criteria.   

Generally, to get admission into Aerospace Engineering in SASTRA University as a non-local student, the minimum marks in board exams, which is Class 12, usually depends on the overall cutoff of the university for the specific academic year. Since SASTRA University does not provide a particular minimum percentage, usually, an aggregate of 60% in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics will make one eligible. Admission also considers JEE Main scores or SASTRA's own entrance exam. The higher the score, the better the chances of getting admission as the top branches like Aerospace Engineering may have a very competitive cutoff.
