The sheer volume of students passing from Grade 12 &amp; looking for college admissions has almost doubled in the last 10 years. Not just that, everyone seems to be getting 90% marks. In the last 10 years, students getting top grades has more than tripled. Now let&#8217;s talk about the 9 Top Government Colleges in India that Evaluate your Full Profile.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides the obvious challenge this poses for the students, this has posed an interesting challenge for the universities themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6657\" title=\"Huge Growth in Grade 12 Students\" src=\"https:\/\/www.univariety.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Huge-Growth-1.png\" alt=\"Huge Growth in Grade 12 Students\" width=\"600\" height=\"396\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6658\" title=\"Inflation in Grade 12 Marks\" src=\"https:\/\/www.univariety.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Inflation-In-Marks-1.png\" alt=\"Inflation in Grade 12 Marks\" width=\"600\" height=\"362\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this trend, Universities don\u2019t have a way to differentiate between students by <\/span><b>JUST USING MARKS<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Recently, the admissions director of a top university went on record to say that she saw 147 applications with an aggregate score of 95.6% in Grade 12 exams. The university is forced to look at innovative methods to distinguish between students and<\/span><b> hence they are going beyond academics <\/b>while <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">granting admissions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A majority of Indian parents &amp; students think that Government universities only look at your marks or performance in entrance exams. This is because everyone thinks about the popular entrance exams like JEE or NEET.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even IITs have now started to talk about the assessment of student personality &amp; fitment as selection criteria but no action has been taken yet.\u00a0 It is true that at this point, to get admission into IITs, it is only the entrance exams that matter. However, many other top Government institutions are looking beyond academics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marks &amp; grades are very important but for many colleges, their function is just to \u201cEliminate\u201d the students that don\u2019t qualify. They can make you get you through the first round, but beyond that, it is all about YOU. The final selection is made on factors beyond academics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 24px;\">Here are 9 TOP Government Colleges That Are Going Beyond Grades to Grant Admissions.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><b>1. National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NIFT was established in 1986 and was the pioneer in Fashion Education in India. Today, it has 16 campuses in India spaced across different parts of the subcontinent. The core departments at NIFT are Fashion Design, Textile Design, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NIFT has produced many talented designers &amp; artists. Some of them include Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Manish Arora, and Neha Sharma.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Admission Process: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NIFT is one of the pioneers in government colleges to move away from the strict \u2018academics only\u2019 admission process. You will be tested for your Creativity and Situation based on problem-solving skills.<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-6627\" title=\"National Institute of Fashion Technology\" src=\"https:\/\/www.univariety.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Table-1-1-300x119.png\" alt=\"NIFT Admission Weightage\" width=\"400\" height=\"159\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To get into NIFT, you don\u2019t need to focus on class 12<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> exams but on doing courses that will boost your creativity in the relevant fields. Acquiring experiences in design and fashion through internships will provide you with the knowledge you need to ace the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Indian Institute of Management (IIM) &#8211; Indore\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IIM Indore was established in 1996 and is the 1<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">st<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> IIM to offer a 5-year Integrated Programme in Management focused on the school students.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They attract students from all over the country who are interested in business management straight after school.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Admission Process: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to have a minimum of 60% in Grade 12 to be eligible to apply.

Setting your <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">goal early<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span>will give you the time &amp; opportunity to work on various other aspects of your profile that will aid your chance of admission.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-6630\" title=\"IIM Indore Admission Weightage\" src=\"https:\/\/www.univariety.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Table-2-1.png\" alt=\"IIM Indore Admission Weightage\" width=\"400\" height=\"159\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 35% weightage that your interview holds will make all the difference &amp; will be the <\/span><b>DECIDER<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Hence, you must work on yourself enough, to be able to <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">showcase a spark<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to the admission committee and establish how you are different.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While in school, you can focus on specific extracurricular activities, summer enrichment programs, and certifications that demonstrate your interest in business management. There are so many programs to choose from that it is important to choose the ones you like and are aligned with the objective of admission to IIM Indore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watch Prof. Ranjeet Nambudiri, Dean of IIM Indore, explain their admission process for the Integrated program in Management. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IIM final\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Kn9p7Am6Ca8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><b>3.

This knowledge is tested through an entrance exam that carries 85% weightage. The remaining 15% depends on your interview.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should easily be able to articulate why you are passionate about the course you are applying for.

If your heart is in subjects like Math, Physics, Chemistry, Economics &amp; History, then St Stephen\u2019s College is a top college you can aspire for.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such superlatives only mean one thing. A super difficult admission process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Admission Process:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> St Stephen\u2019s College is one of the most prestigious colleges of Delhi University. 85% of the admission weightage depends on the board exams. But, doing well in board exams WON\u2019T BE ENOUGH when it comes to St Stephen\u2019s College. The class 12<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> marks only serve as the Elimination Round for students aspiring for admission.\u00a0 Even if you score 96%, there will be hundreds of others at the same score and above.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final selection is made based on the personal interview and aptitude test.\u00a0 Typically, for every 1 selection in the interview, 4 shortlisted students are called.\u00a0 That means the final competition is between 4 students all of who got similar grades in class 12.\u00a0 The differentiating factor is YOU and your experiences.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more clearly you are able to show<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.univariety.com\/resources\/featured-insights\/detail.php?name=personalised-counselling&amp;utm_source=blogs&amp;utm_medium=blogs&amp;utm_campaign=9+Top+Government+Colleges+in+India+that+Evaluate+your+Full+Profile+&amp;utm_id=9+Top+Government+Colleges+in+India+that+Evaluate+your+Full+Profile+\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> DEEP INTEREST<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the subjects you are applying for the stronger your chances become.\u00a0 Various activities done during school years like summer courses, internships, extracurricular activities, and volunteer work help shape your profile.\u00a0 It is your profile that helps the admissions committee understand your ability to take initiative and deep interest in the subject.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Mount Carmel College<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mount Carmel College is a premier institution for women\u2019s education in India, established in 1948, just a year after India became a free nation.

Hence, any prior experience in the subject in the form of internships, summer courses, or extracurricular activities that are course-specific will provide you with a disproportionate advantage over the rest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To match the standards of successful alumni, your confidence, your go-getter attitude and your ambition are evaluated in the personal interview.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8.

The National Institute of Design nurtured eminent people like Dibakar Banerjee, Aparna Rao etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, you need a 60% in Grade 12 to be eligible to apply but other than that, your school grades have no weightage. NID Design Aptitude Test (DAT) Prelims carry a 70% weightage which tests your design thinking, design capability and aptitude. The remaining is with NID DAT-Mains, which includes a personal interview.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get into the gates of NID, you should be able to substantiate your passion for design through various activities you have done in the past &amp; your proficiency in design.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>9.

SSCBS had a Personal Interview &amp; Group Discussion process as an integral part of admissions till recently.\u00a0 However, due to certain activities, Delhi University decided to remove the interview from the admissions process.\u00a0 Now, Grade 12 marks carry a 35% weightage and the DU \u2013 Joint Admission Test (DU-JAT) carries 65% weightage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This entrance exam is not just about the subject but is designed to test your personality, &amp; diversity of knowledge.
