I have 70 - 'Globus Spirits Ltd' shares bought an year ago @985. Pls suggest if I can sell now or wait ?

Ans: IISc is a premier institute. When planning to join a prestigious institution, it's important not to focus solely on the eligibility criteria. Generally, the minimum eligibility for admission varies between 50-60%. This means that if you have at least 60% marks in the required subjects, you still may not guarantee admission, as many aspirants intend to pursue their studies at the same institute. Consequently, competition can be intense, and some applicants might not secure a place.

Please note that the admission selection process typically involves an entrance exam conducted either by the institute itself or by a testing agency. According to your query, the basic eligibility to pursue an undergraduate program at IISc is 60%, and candidates are also required to appear for the entrance exam.

For your reference, I have extracted this information from the IISc website. If you need any further details, kindly feel free to POOCHO. LIFE CHANGE KARO!

Eligibility criteria
Applicants must be Indian nationals, OCI/PIO/Foreign Nationals to apply for IAT 2025.

The candidates must have passed the Class XII (or equivalent) examination with science stream from any board recognized by the Council of Boards of School Education (COBSE) in India. Foreign Nationals need to upload an equivalence certificate issued by the Association of Indian Universities unless they have passed the Class XII or equivalent level examination from any board recognized by the Council of Boards of School Education (COBSE) in India. The equivalence certificate must be uploaded while submitting the IAT 2025 Application Form under "Please upload copy of document supporting your claim of Foreign National (You'll need to produce original when necessary)".

Candidates should have been born on or after October 01, 2000. Five years of age relaxation is given to SC, ST, and PwD candidates, i.e, these candidates should have been born on or after October 01, 1995. Note that, there is no restriction based on the completion year of Class XII.

Candidates must have taken at least three subjects among Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics during their Class XII (or equivalent) examination.

Candidates belonging to SC/ST/PwD are required to score a minimum of 55% marks in aggregate or equivalent grade in their Class XII (or equivalent) examination. Candidates belonging to other categories are required to score a minimum of 60% marks in aggregate or equivalent grade in their Class XII (or equivalent) examination.

NOTE:
Candidates belonging to Kashmiri Pandit/Kashmiri Hindu Families (Non-Migrants) may apply for the IAT 2025 as Kashmiri Migrants subject to the fullfillment of other eligibility criteria. These candidates must upload a valid domicile certificate at the time of application under "Kashmiri Migrant Certificate".

Admission to IISERs
Admission to IISERs is exclusively through the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT), which is a computer-based test scheduled on Sunday, May 25, 2025 at 9:00 AM, at various centres across the country.

Performance Criteria in Class XII (or equivalent examination)
Candidates whose Class XII (or equivalent) examination results have not yet been declared can apply for IAT 2025. However, their admission will be subject to fulfilling the minimum eligibility criteria given above.
For candidates who have appeared in the Class XII (or equivalent) examination multiple times (for whatever reasons), the best of the performances in terms of aggregate in a given year will be considered.
If a board gives aggregate marks considering both Class XI and Class XII, then only Class XII (or equivalent) examination marks will be considered. If a board gives aggregate marks considering the results of all three years of a 3-year diploma or courses of equivalent duration, then only the marks scored in the final year will be considered. Similarly, the marks scored in the final two semesters will be considered for boards that follow a semester system.
If a board awards only letter grades without providing an equivalent percentage of marks on the grade-sheet, the candidate should obtain a certificate from the board specifying the equivalent marks and submit it before the deadline of the mark-sheet submission. In case the board does not provide such a certificate, the percentage marks will be assessed as follows:

percentage marks = (CGPA or CPI obtained × 100) / PS,
where PS is the maximum value of the point scale used by the respective board.
Reservation Policy
Reservation policies as mandated by the Govt. of India will apply
Scheduled Caste (SC) - 15% of seats
Scheduled Tribe (ST) - 7.5% of seats
Other Backward Classes belonging to the Non-Creamy Layer (OBC-NCL) - 27% of seats

Ans: Hello
Last few days should largely go in taking mocks and critically analyzing results for improvement areas.
Most important is to implement learnings at each practice stage. Practice Practice Practice !!! That is the key.
Also the need of taking good care of health cannot be over-emphasized i.e. right food, sound sleep, physical activity go a long way in ensuring optimum performance levels on the D day.
All the Best!

Ans: Hello
There is no better way than to simulate exam conditions by means of taking mocks.
But only taking mocks will not help unless each mock result is critically analyzed for improvement areas & learnings get implemented in subsequent practices.
There is no 'one size fits all' technique since each individual will have his/her own test taking strategies.
The key is to identify that through 'timed practice tests' & perfect it before the actual attempt.
All the Best!

Ans: Hello Sagar
You can approach some good executive search companies such as Michael Page, Korn Ferry, Spencer Stuart. These companies specialize in senior level targeted job placements.
With gap in service it does get bit challenging to get a suitable opening hence you might need to compromise in position & pay levels for reentering the job market.
You may also look to simultaneously reskill/upskill yourself with some good courses in your domain of Supply Chain that may further boost your chances.
All the Best!

Ans: Hello Dear
Both are better options. Yet, if you wish to go with one of them, then I recommend going with Coursera.

If satisfied with the reply, pl like and follow me, else ask again.

Ans: Hello
You can always approach HR department for these papers & am sure they will assist.
Usually it is not declined regardless of the nature of exit.

Ans: Hello Dear,
You did not mention the score of your daughter in JEE (Mains)-I, state you belong, hence it would be difficult to suggest the name of a reputed Pvt college. Yet I assume you might belong to either Delhi or a nearby state. SGT University is a reputed university and if they are offering you a mechanical seat, you can book it if you are satisfied from all angles. However, I would like to recommend waiting for the JEE (Main)-II results and the state-level engineering entrance test result before making the proper decision to be admitted to a particular branch. The pvt colleges are ready to fill their seats under any conditions. Hence SGT has offered you a seat at this stage also. Wait till all the results are out.
If satisfied with the reply, pl like and follow me, else ask again.
Thanks

Ans: Hello
Think the right way to look at this is to reverse the equation & assess your own aptitude, interest areas etc.
You have better chance of excelling in your areas of interest rather than picking up anything random just going by trend.
Talent is always in demand provided it is in the right place.
Having said that, in general, tech is certainly the way forward. Fields such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data
Mining/Science have already started impacting our routine lives and skill/knowledge in these areas will be in good demand in coming times.
All the Best !!
