IIM Calcutta and Birla Institute of Business Studies are the best institutions in Calcutta. IIM Calcutta may have a higher cut of score but this differs every year according to the test result. The percentile score is tricky, that you should have very high individual percentile scores on quantitative, logical reasoning and data interpretation and a reasonably above average score in Verbal ability can get you a call for interview. Maybe the cut-off may vary every year depending on the performance of test population, but normally for IIM Calcutta, you may need between 95 to 98 percentile except for verbal reasoning. Most of the good institutions give interview calls for 6 to 7 times of the actual intake. So, GD and PI matters in the final selection.

It depends upon your B-school preference, both the exams are unique and considered important. If you're targeting NMIMS (Mumbai and other campuses), XIMB, Amity University, etc., then you need to give the NMAT exam. If you're targeting colleges like Somaiya, Sydenham, Great Lakes, GIM, etc. then you should give CMAT. Both the exams deal with English, mathematics, and Logical Reasoning, CMAT also includes GK. NMAT includes no negative marking (+3, 0), whereas CMAT does (+4, -1). You can give NMAT thrice, while CMAT is held only on 2 days I.e. 28 & 29th Jan 2017.

A Masters degree is preferred over Diploma. Still you need to pursue a minimum of 8 months course in Canada to be eligible for Post Graduation Work Permit. Also, the duration of the post graduation work permit will depend on the length of your course in Canada. The universities will provide all the assistance in finding you a job, still everything will depend on your networking ability and pro-activeness. Germany too is having demand for engineers, so finding a job wouldn't be a problem though. It would be better if you could learn the local language while studying there; it will help you in the long run. Depending on the institutes and course you apply to, you will have to appear for GRE. TOEFL will be required for applying in either of the countries. Some German universities also ask for GATE score.
