sharma: Sir how is MITCON? Placements, Campus life. I kept it as a last option
saikumar: Decent institute and well known in Pune

sairam: what is the minimum questions we should attempt in jmet and what should be accuracy rate

shetty: sai sir as there is 15% quota for symbosis on wat basis they will take?? hope they take meritous students based on snap xam

My AIMCAT range has been from 85 to 98.45.. What are my chances of getting a call from the IIMs?.. or MDI?.... Another query is that I am interested in advertising. Would you say that MICA is a better option than MDI?
