Hello Ayushi,

With a GATE score of 402 in the OBC category, securing admission to M.Tech programs in Biotechnology at IITs may be challenging. For instance, IIT Delhi's 2022 cutoff for Biomedical Engineering was 650 for OBC candidates.

It's advisable to check the specific admission criteria of each IIT and consider applying to multiple institutions to increase your chances.

Hope it helps !

With a 99 percentile in CAT, you've definitely got a strong foundation for your MBA aspirations.

FMS Admission Process

FMS Delhi considers various factors for admission, including:

1. CAT score (99 percentile is excellent!)

2. Academic performance (your low academic background might be a concern)

3. Work experience (you didn't mention any, but certifications and courses can help)

4. Extracurricular activities (your Engage 7x Course and Spanish foreign language course are positives)

5. Personal interview (this is an opportunity to showcase your skills and passion)

SC Category Advantage

As an SC category candidate, you'll have a relaxation in the admission criteria. FMS Delhi has a reservation policy for SC/ST candidates.

Chances of Getting into FMS

While a 99 percentile CAT score is impressive, FMS Delhi is a highly competitive institution. Your low academic background might affect your chances, but:

- Your SC category status will provide some advantage.

- Your certifications and courses (Engage 7x, Spanish) demonstrate your enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

It's difficult to predict admission outcomes, but I'd estimate your chances as follows:

- FMS Delhi: 20-30% chance (considering your CAT score, SC category, and certifications)

- Other top MBA colleges: 50-70% chance (considering your CAT score and SC category)

Next Steps

1. Apply to FMS Delhi: Submit your application, highlighting your strengths and certifications.

2. Prepare for the personal interview: Showcase your passion, skills, and experiences.

3. Consider other MBA colleges: Apply to other top colleges that align with your interests and goals.

Stay positive, and best of luck with your applications!

Hello,

Yes, it is possible to shift from BBA Finance to MBA Marketing after clearing CAT and securing admission to an IIM. Your background in finance can add value to your marketing profile, providing a broader business understanding. It generally does not negatively affect your resume if you can justify the shift with a clear career goal and relevant skills. Recruiters value diverse knowledge and a strong rationale behind career transitions.

Hope this helps you,

Thank you
