Abhi — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 07:19:49 +0000

i completely dis-agree to the above ratings……and itz my sincere advice 2 all fresh entrants and future aspirants not to fall over such un-reliable,un-just and this Marketing-Blitz …….
ISMU and IT-bhu both deserve to b in the top 10 colleges list….
These colleges have all IIT-JEE qualified students….the same breed which is found at your favourite campuses……… the IITS…
so why deride these coveted venues????
plz make your data un-biased and well updated..

Hello Sir
This is Swapnil again. I have some doubts :
1. As my GRE score is low (1140) in which fields should I work hard or concentrate more to make my admission in high universities much easier.
2. As I know GRE score is not only single point in consideration. Would you please let me know some other ways through which I can recover the damage caused by low GRE score??
3. How much the work experience and strong reccomandation play imp. role?
4. Does more certifications in computer stream will make my SOP significantly strong ?
Plz reply to me so that I can more focus on that and try for much better admission.

Swapnil
Please check the blog it contains articles replying to your doubts.

Good Luck
NBS

I also think that IET lucknow is one amongst the Top colleges affiliated to UPTU.
Even it is comparable to HBTI,Kanpur in terms of placements in major branches.
The advantages of HBTI over IET are its non-core branches like paint else they are almost similar.
So IET certainly lies around 25 in this ranking.

I know my gre score of 1120 and toefl ibt score of 86 is is not compatible with Virginia tech.They say decisions are not due until May 15th. It’s 16 May and am till unaware of what decision had been made during 6 months of application evaluation period .Hopeless, I quickly threw applications to 2 more universities; Idaho State University and Lousiana state university.
You dint reply my query. Not sure whether u were busy or I posted an incomplete profile? Whatever the condition, I cannot miss this Fall session and working hard to make ends meet.

If u feel worth replying my queries, please do reply. As each day passes, I am getting nervous…
