Use the login information you used to register to access your account, if you have one. Look for a section that says "My Results," "Test History," or "Dashboard," since these might include your mock test results and feedback.

Dear Student, 

We think that you have mistaken Mohammed Sahil Akhtar for Shoaib Akhtar, as per the records of the JEE Advanced exams; Md. Sahil Akhtar took JEE Advanced 2023 and secured a 99th rank. However, Akhtar dropped the vision of getting into IIT during counselling to pursue a double major in computer science and physics at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). He realised the opportunity to get into IT for research after taking the IOAA Olympiad in Georgia. Sahil is from Kolkata and completed his intermediate from Delhi Public School (DPS), Ruby Park, and he appeared for the JEE main 2023 for the April session. We hope that we have answered your query successfully. Stay tuned to CollegeDekho for the latest updates related to JEE Main 2025 and JEE Advanced 2025. We wish you success in your future!

Dear Student,

IIT Madras does not offer an MBA specialization in Hospital Management. The MBA specializations offered by IIT Madras include Finance, Integrative Management, Human Resources & Organizational Behaviour, Marketing, Operations, and Information Systems. Admission to MBA programs offered by IIT Madras is done on the basis of scores in the Common Admission Test (CAT). Aspirants must also be graduates in any discipline with first class or 60% marks (55% for SC/ST/PwD) earned in their degree from a recognized/reputed University. Alternatively, candidates will also be eligible if they have a professional qualification equivalent to that of a University degree recognized by the UGC. Although there is no specialization offered in the field of Hospital Management by IIT Madras, the institute may offer the same in the foreseeable future. Aspirants may also check out other MBA colleges offering MBA in Hospital Management including IIM Bodh Gaya, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, K J Somaiya Institute of Management, etc.
