Academic Percentage Cut-offs for admission at NUS
#1
Dear all,

I've been getting some frequent mails regarding the chances of getting a call from NUS pertaining to different academic cut-offs. One of the recent ones was from animesh.jain88:
=======================================================
hello sir,
i am animesh jain and i have done my graduation in EEE from MANIPAL INSTITUTE
OF TECHNOLOGY,KARNATAKA,INDIA with a CGPA of 7.48.
I appeard for GATE '14 AND SECURED A PERCENTILE OF 97.85. what are my chances
of admission at NUS singapore.
please guide me further.
Thanks,
yours faithfully,
animesh jain

=======================================================

Thought to share a generalized response that could cater to the queries of all of you.

Minimum academic eligibility criterion for PG/PhD admission at NUS is an "Honours Degree". Different universities/insitutes have different criteria to award graduate degrees with Honours. Mostly it's awarded to Top 10 students of a course or above a particular percentage threshold (often 80% and above). Another way to look at it is in terms of "Division"-- if you pass your degree exam in FIRST DIVISION, then you are eligible for getting shortlisted (if you have proper GATE score).

What if your percentage is Just Average?:
You shouldn't loose hope. If you have really good GATE score (97-100 percentile), accompanied by a good Major Project and internship experiences, along-with nice recommendations, even then you have a strong case to be considered for interview.

I hope this post clears the doubts of many.

About Animesh's case:
Your CGPA is indeed a hiccup, but your GATE percentile is really good. If you apply at department of Biomedical Engineering or Biotechnology, you might have a strong case considering the interdisciplinary factor in your profile. I hope that you've some good internship experience and have opted for a standard Major project in B.Tech. Gather some nice recommendations and draft a nice letter of motivation, you can crack the call for interview.
