Hello Aspirant,

Hope you are doing well...

The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) is a group of prestigious management institutions of India. According to the NIRF 2020 report, the top 5 IIMs are:

• IIM, Ahmedabad
• IIM, Bangalore
• IIM, Calcutta
• IIM, Lucknow
• IIM, Kozhikode

These IIMs select candidates based on their performance in the nationally administered Common Admission Test (CAT), performance in the subsequent rounds of Personal Interviews, and past academic performance. Some of the IIMs also give considerable weightage to work experience.

A work experience of 3 to 4 years would be good enough to shield poor academic performance. Additionally, you could take up some certification courses, live projects, internships, etc. All this, along with an exceptionally good CAT score and a good PI performance, can collectively help you land a seat in one of the top IIMs.

Dear Student,

Both the colleges are in UP, Greater Noida and both one have the different selection criteria, lets discuss one by one.

1. Admission process of JIIT

To take admission in JIIT in the b.tech course you need to come in the merit list prepared by the campus which is done on the basis of the marks of your 10th, 11th and 12th exam followed by interview discussion round. You can also take admission through management quota but from that method they might ask you the extra money in the name of donation especially for CSE.

2. Admission process of JSS noida

To take admission in JSS noida you need to to register the application for of UPCET conducted by AKTU, Lucknow which is already passed so you you can take admission here only through the management quota and here also they want extra money in the name of donation especially for CSE

Comparing both the colleges I will suggest you to go with the JIIT because it is deemed-to-be-university and approved by UGC & AICTE while JSS is affiliated to AKTU University and its B.tech section is NBA accredited and have NIRF certificate. Faculty is somewhere good in JIIT and it also has a good infrastructure and campus life . Coming to the placements the average package of JIIT is around 8 lakhs and highest package is 43 lakhs, while JSS average package is 8 LPA and highest package is 40 LPA.

So the decision is totally up to you in which campus you will take admission.

Hope you find it useful.

Good Luck:)

With a somewhat Average Academic Record, with a slight dip in Class 12th Marks, assuming youre from General Category, I believe you must target nowhere less than 99 Percentile, for chances to secure a Call for Interview from some of the IIMs as well as have great chances of Call from other Good MBA Institutes like Old IITs, MDI, IMT and many others. Besides CAT, you must also appear for other MBA Entrances like SNAP, MAT, XAT, NMAT as they too are gateways to some of the Top B Schools of India. However, with the kind of Academic Record you have, for a Call from Top 6 IIMs, you might just require a higher Percentile above 99.4-99.5. However, incase youve certain Categorical Advantage, you might require a lesser Percentile.
