If you're so hell bent on going for it then just go for it. Several people have told you on here that you have no chance yet you just ignore them. Just do it and stop persisting with it on here until someone gives you the answer that you want to hear.

Just one more quick qun....
We should consider our gross salary or our net salary.
e.g. in my case gross salary is 5 lacs p.a.
but net salary is 4.2 lacs p.a.
So, i should calculate points considering gross salary or net salary?
Thanks in advance.
