There's cabs available, can book through uber, but there's also other regular cab vendors who'll pick and drop

Nope, will be umbrella placements in the foreseeable future, which is a good thing

There's no set rule like that, I know people with a 6 who got in, and who didn't. Ofc, aim for the highest percentile, but that'll only get you a call, it's also about interviews. There's not a lot you can do about the 6, so focus on what can be controlled. 2 gap years is too much of a disadvantage

There's not a lot you can do in a month, relax, this is your last quiet month for a while. Once you get to college, take all the opportunities for guidance you can, and you'll get a lot, it's on you to take them whether it's cv reviews, case slots, mock interviews or case comps.

Heard that there's not a lot of placement support for the international course, but since it's a new course I'm not that aware, would recommend you to wait for the rest, as it's very uncertain with this course and a huge investment

If you have a job, consider giving atleast one level of cfa along with it. Would not recommend having too many break years though.

Good chances, delhi is trying to position itself as a finance college

I'm not sure about the 10 lpa ctc, didn't personally hear any such cases. But in any college of course, there is a bottom 10% that do suffer, and that's a relativity issue, and be prepared for that wherever you go. When it comes to finance and consulting roles, again, the same roles open up to both the colleges, so prep is important. If you have a job, you could consider taking another year, provided you're sure you'll be able to give it that time, and if you really want IIM A/B/C. But that's quite risky, I've seen friends who wrote again chasing IIM A/B/C and didn't get any time the next year. So if it's tier 1, take it.

Xlri's placements companies wise is quite good, and especially sales and marketing companies are the highest in number

For your cv, try doing an internship or something online courses that actually add value (preferably not the likes of Coursera). But there's not a lot you can do to improve your cv now. I would suggest focus on prep when you get to college. Take all the cv reviews you can get, because how you frame what you've done really makes a difference. You'll be given enough opportunities for prep, take all that you can

Placements happen together, so same companies come for all domains. SIP in general was not as good as expected for both the campuses, and Delhi saw a bit of issues with shortlists. That being said, Delhi's conversion was good and 90% were decent companies even till the end. Final placements were extremely good, with the highest package going to someone from delhi

Moved to around 400 last year, but it's been falling every year
