I heard that students from Manipal university are getting more F1 visa rejections lately. Is this true? If anyone is aware, please share. It will really help.

Ans: To be honest, there’s no official proof that Manipal University students are getting more F1 visa rejections than others. Visa decisions depend more on your personal profile, how well you do in the interview, your financial documents, and how clearly you show your intent to return to India after studies.
Sometimes, students from certain colleges might feel like rejections are high, but that could also be due to a few recent cases shared online — not a general rule.
So don’t stress too much about the college name. Just make sure your documents are strong, your answers are clear, and you're confident during the interview. That matters the most.

Dear Sir, My son has got admission in CSE Manipal main campus . I am keen to know why you say Avoid Manipal. Please share so that I can take a wise decision. Thanks

Ans: Mainpal (Main Campus) is one of the top-ranked Universities. But for some students, Mainpal Main Campus is not advisable. If your son is mentally strong enough & highly mature with good Emotional Intelligence / Emotional Quotient, he can go ahead with Manipal Main Campus. Else, work out Plan B & Plan C. Hope you have understood. Whatever Institute / University & Branch your Son chooses, he should keep upgrading his skills from his 1st year itself till his Campus Placement during his last year, from LinkedIn, Coursera, NPTEL, Internshala etc. and / or any other online platforms, recommended by his College Faculties, to be COMPETENT among other Students.

All The BEST for your Son’s Bright Future.

Hi I got nmims Mumbai course of bba in branding and advertising and the fees is 5.5 lakhs is it worth it or should I spend it on mba if i want to do cfa too

Ans: If you want to do CFA then Branding and Advertising would be a wrong area to chose. It would be better to do general BBA / BMS degree or courses like BFM, BAF, etc. You can spend the money on MBA later.

Is nmims BBA Mumbai worth it? Are placements there good? Or should I do BBA/BMS from normal college and try for MBA (which would be doing regardless)?

Ans: Doing BBA / BMS from some tier 1 institutes in Mumbai would be equivalent to doing BBA from NMIMS. There are better facilities in NMIMS but the fees also is higher. Placement opportunities in some good colleges like Xaviers, Podar, Jai Hind are definitely on par with NMIMS. Anyways he would have to do further education in which case doing BBA or BMS from any good college should be fine.

Sc category rank in IAT is 2100 does he get seat

Ans: With an SC rank of 2100 in the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT), it's unlikely to get admission to any of the older and more popular IISERs like Pune, Kolkata, or Mohali. However, there might be a slim chance in newer IISERs like Berhampur or Tirupati, especially in later rounds of counselling if vacancies remain.

I scored 73333 overall rank in IAT 2025 is there any possibility of getting in any iisers

Ans: With an overall IAT 2025 rank of 73,333, it's highly unlikely to get admission into any of the core IISERs (Pune, Kolkata, Mohali, Bhopal, Tirupati, Berhampur, and Thiruvananthapuram). These institutions typically have much lower cutoff ranks, often below 2,000 for the general category. While a rank of 73,333 is significantly lower than the expected cutoffs, it's still worth exploring options like the newer IISERs or other science programs with lower admission criteria.

Sir I got 7300 rank (was) in IAT. Is their any chance of getting in iiser

Ans: With an IAT rank of 7300, getting into an IISER (Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research) is unlikely for the general category, particularly for the main BS-MS dual degree program. The competition for IISER admissions is very high, and closing ranks, especially for the general category, are typically much lower.
