Hello Nikhil,
As of now, FMS gives weightage to only your CAT score and not to your past academic scores. Thus, any person who will score a percentile of 99+ and if that meets the cutoff, he/she will get the shortlist. Last year as well the cutoff was 98.54 percentile, thus scoring 99 will work a lot in your favour. All the best.

Hello,
Talking about placements, every company coming to the campus will look at your past academic scores as well to shortlist you. Thus, it might be a problem for you during the placements process. However, there are certain other companies as well which look on other things such as extra curricular achievements or the amount and quality of knowledge you have in your area of specialisation. Also,if you have any work experience,or if you have done any live projects for some companies,it can be of help for you during placements.

I think engineering would be good because u will have an edge over other in maths. And secondly the conversion of engineers in cat is higher.

Hello,

Hello hariram,
At a percentile of 99+, there are high chances of getting a shortlist. Last year as well the cutoff to get a shortlist for the interview round was below 99. However please ensure that this is just the percentile to get a call for the next round and not for the final selection.

Hello hariram,
Extempore speech is not difficult if you practice well for it. People generally get stuck in between because they miss out on what to say next. Thus, it is essential that you practice for it, by taking some random topics and then speaking on the same for 1 minute. This way you will be able to handle other topics as well and will help you to keep track of time as well.

Hello Jakaria,
Having done B.tech in computer science, it will be helpful for you if you want to continue with your career in information technology. However, if you want to choose other specialisations like marketing, finance then having computer science as a subject in the past won't have any negative impact on your choice.

Hello Poulami,
There are certain companies who give slight weightage to your past academic scores to shortlist you for the interview, while some other companies don't give much weightage to your past academic scores and are rather focused on other things like projects done, your management skills, your knowledge and your area of interest.
Also, the effect of your academic scores on your placements will be the same in every B-school.
