What is the detailed process to get admission into IIM Ahmedabad?

SM
Sonal Mishra Posted On : April 14th, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

The entire admission process at IIM Ahmedabad for the PGP comprises 3 stages.

Stage 1:Preliminary Screening

The candidates that have cleared the CAT cutoff are shortlisted on the basis of a Composite Score or CS. The composite score is made up of academic rating score (AR) (includes 10th marks, 12th marks, and work experience) and normalized overall CAT score.

Or we can say,

Composite Score = Application Rating Score + Normalized CAT score

Application Rating score is based on class 10th, 12th, and bachelor exams, and work experience scores.

Shortlisting for Analytical Writing Test (AWT) & Personal Interview (PI):

The candidates with the best academic profiles and CAT scores will be further shortlisted for the next round. The shortlisted candidates will be called for AWT and a personal interview round.

Final Selection:

At this stage, candidates will be shortlisted across each category (General/ SC/ ST/ NC-OBC/ PwD) separately, based on their Final Composite Score (FCS).

The CAT cut-off is mentioned in the table below

How do I get into NMIMS Mumbai?

SG
Sashi Garg Posted On : March 15th, 2022
PGDM Marketing, SVKM'S NMIMS, Navi Mumbai Campus (2021)

NMIMS Mumbai takes admission through NMAT. According to the cutoff trends, the expected cutoff for 2022 is 210+. But it is an oversimplified answer. Being one of the top B-School in the country, around 90000 applicants take NMAT every year. Only around 3000 students are called for the GD/PI round and around 600 students are shortlisted for the final selection. So, only 0.7% of students are selected from the students taking NMAT. In order to get admission, you will need to be among the top 1% of the students. Here are some helpful tips regarding the admission process. 

NMIMS Mumbai Admission 2022: 

  • NMIMS Mumbai allows you to take 3 attempts of NMAT. You should take advantage of all three of these attempts.
  • NMAT doesn’t have negative markings. So, you should try to attempt as many questions as you can.
  • The case discussion round will take place with around 12 other participants. You will be given a one-page case and 5 mins preparation time, before the 15 mins case discussion. Through this round, they want to see how you structure and approach a case. 
  • After the case discussion round there will be a personal interview round with 3 panelists. They usually ask questions based on your CV and current affairs

Work hard to score above 210+ in NMAT and take full advantage of the 3 attempts. With strategic preparation, getting into NMIMS won’t be hard.

What is life like at DU?

KJ
Karuna Jaiswal Posted On : October 4th, 2022
Studied Economics at University of Delhi (Graduated 2017)

Here is what a 2012 DU Hansraj College graduate has to say about life at DU.

As a 17 years old boy who had received high marks in 12th grade, his expectations were as high as they should have been. But, over time, he realized that DU is just like any other university in a sense that it gives you a name but not necessarily a job. So, he went through the typical Indian education system, i.e., focusing on grades rather than fundamentals. 

So, after enrolling in DU's Physics Hons, he skipped classes and concentrated on concepts, but the results were still disappointing. He wasn't getting good grades or gaining a lot of knowledge. But after three years, he realized that success is impossible without in-depth knowledge. He got admitted to IIT Bombay after putting in a lot of effort, and that completely changed his life. 

The DU experience is the most joyful, as he claims. He says he is a foodie who enjoys eating, studying, and traveling. Thus, below mentioned are a few places recommended by him:

  1. Amba Cinema- It is well-known for its whistling. He has visited the theater quite frequently and seen movies like Gabbar is Back, Baby, and many more.

  2. Chole Bhature of Rawalpindi

  3. The Kamla Nehru Ridge

  4. Miranda House

Life changes, and we should embrace it. The University of Delhi is not merely a dream university where students are keen to study, but it is an emotion. An intense sentiment is attached to the hearts of the students. Life here feels immensely simple yet happening. We meet different kinds of people in every phase of life that we spend here. It gives so many experiences, both beautiful and harsh, to learn, explore and understand the truth of life. Almost everyone is friendly, polite, helpful, thoughtful and cooperative. The primary draws at DU are the annual college fests. You get to have a wonderful experience and enjoy extraordinary performances by popular celebrities that you would never have seen in your entire life.
