    Computer Science: IBA VS FAST!

    Does anyone know anything about the IBA interviews and group discussions? I mean how hard is it to get past the group discussion/interview stage? Has anyone who cleared there test been denied admission in the interview and/or group discussion round?

    Computer Science: IBA VS FAST!

    Well. IBA definitely has far more brand name than FAST. I don't know much about the CS program, but if you're considering factors such as reputation as well then IBA would definitely be the better option.

    SAT PURPOSE(S)?

    From what I've read and heard, the scores are valid for minimum 3 years. One year would be too less
