How are B Tech placements at Koneru Lakshmaiah Education Foundation University (K L College of Engineering)?

Hi.

Hi.

• Holistic Evaluation: The admission process is not solely based on entrance exam scores. The selection involves a comprehensive evaluation of various components:
  • Entrance exam scores: 20%
  • Academic performance (10th, 12th, and graduation): 20%
  • Statement of Purpose (SOP) & Group Discussion/Interview: 40%
  • Weightage for Academic & Gender Diversity: 10%
  • Work experience: 10%
• Diverse Academic Backgrounds: GIBS actively encourages and accepts students from a wide range of undergraduate disciplines, including engineering, IT, commerce (B.Com), business administration (BBA), computer applications (BCA), and other non-business fields. This ensures a rich, cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas in the classroom.
• Gender Balance: The institution places significant emphasis on gender diversity and provides weightage during admissions to foster a balanced learning environment. A typical PGDM batch at GIBS features approximately 40% female student representation.
• Geographical and Cultural Diversity: Students are enrolled from various states across India, contributing to a multicultural campus environment and exposing peers to different regional and cultural perspectives.
• Mix of Experience Levels: Batches include a blend of fresh graduates and individuals with prior work experience (typically 0 to 5 years). Work experience is a specific criterion that is given weightage during selection.
• International Applicants: GIBS has a specific admission pathway for Non-Resident Indian (NRI) and international applicants, further contributing to a global perspective within the student body.

• Failure to Meet Minimum Academic Criteria: Applicants who fall below the minimum required 50% grades in their undergraduate degree or who have declining grades may be rejected.
• Low Entrance Exam Scores: While GIBS considers a balanced profile, scores in national-level entrance exams (like CAT, MAT, CMAT, etc.) that are significantly below the typical cutoffs can be a major disadvantage.
• Incomplete or Error-Ridden Application: Submitting an application with missing documents, significant errors, or incorrect information shows a lack of attention to detail and seriousness, which can lead to immediate disqualification.
• Generic or Unfocused Application Material: Applications that use recycled personal statements, generic reasons for choosing GIBS, or fail to connect past experiences to future goals often do not stand out to the admissions committee. 

• Poor Performance in GD/PI Rounds: Since the Statement of Purpose, Group Discussion (GD), and Personal Interview (PI) account for 40% of the selection weightage, a poor showing here significantly impacts the final decision. This could be due to a lack of communication skills, low confidence, or poor body language.
• Unclear Career Goals: The inability to articulate a clear understanding of motivation, realistic short-term and long-term career goals, and how the GIBS programme will help achieve them is a common red flag.
• Lack of Program Fit: An applicant might be rejected if the admissions committee determines that their values, goals, or expectations do not align well with GIBS's culture and programme structure.
• Dishonesty or Questionable Background: Falsifying records, exaggerating achievements, or having a questionable social media presence can lead to rejection.
