Being a student of IMT Nagpur I believe I can answer this. IMT recently updated its cutoff. So earlier they had eligibility of 70percentile. But as of now, it's not possible to get admission at the 70 percentile. Work ex helps in placement. There's no doubt about that but IMT selects based on marks and not work ex. Companies do give preference to one with work ex. Besides 70percentile is a low score. You'll get an average college with this score. I'll suggest studying more and applying next year because an MBA is something we do once in our lifetime and after that mostly we'll apply for a job rather than a Ph.D. So why not get admission to a decent college which has good placements and brand value too?

In tier 2 or 3, youve to personally develop yourself and lookout for various courses related to your field and scope of that course, Its better to choose CS/IT from tier 2 or 3 colleges because there is no scope of ME/CIVIL/EC (the worst) and learn coding irrespective of your branch (read my other answers for detailed analysis). Also maintain a CGPA around 8.0 or above 75% in B.Tech to get in a good company or for applying for a better internship or college. Also labs are not well-maintained in these colleges so look out for certification from other institutes and learn the work from there. So conclusion is that youve to work hard in tier 2 or 3 colleges to be successful and also only engineering will not fetch you a job there; youve to learn skills and keep your * together.

Hi Abdul, Finance, Marketing & HR are completely different streams. Here are some pros & cons of getting into these fields. MARKETING
Pros
-Handsome salary at the start of your career
-Huge pool of opportunities all across. In fact, most of the companies that visit the campus for placements, come to hire for a marketing profile. -Great scope of learning and different domains to choose from like digital marketing, PR, product development, sales, etc. Cons
-At the early stage, you are more likely to get into sales as it Sets the base. Other options may not pay you well enough. -You need to come up with creative solutions and new ideas as marketing can't be consistent. -There is a portion of your CTC that will be incentive based. So, you need to work extra hard to get that as the targets are not so easy to achieve, especially in sales. FINANCE
Pros
-Great amount of money is offered. If you have an interest in this field you should definitely go for it. -Office/desk job, no need to roam around here and there to achieve your targets. -There aren't many changes that are implied to the finance department unless there is a change in the policy. Cons

-You have to be very careful with the data as the information is very sensitive to the company/client
-The working hours get extended during peek seasons, especially in tax and auditing firms
HR
Pros
-Very decent and healthy role to person. If you are a people person and like to build connections then HR is an ideal field to choose. -An HR manager is aware of everything that is going on inside and outside the company because of networking. Cons
