How can a student with low academics get placed in B schools like XLRI, FMS, JBIMS, MDI, etc.?
It is important to know about the factors that might help you to get admission to B-schools. If you ask me, XLRI, MDI, JBIMS, and a few of the newer and baby IIMs have admission policies with distributed weight-age systems.
Not only CAT cut off but also they do a selection on the profile basis. They check for job experience and other skill sets if any.
You may face tough interrogation during the Interview process as you have low academic scores but it may also be overlooked if your CAT scores are high and your profile is good. Also, if you have any decent work-ex, it can make an impression on the selection committee.
Moreover, you should score at least 60% in your academic career as most organizations require this. Exception cases are considered provided one is able to display significant tech skills/managerial qualities or a high score on the job requisite skills matrix.
If in case you have less than 60%, you are already out of IIMs criteria and your chance to get into IIMs. Also, colleges like FMS give more weightage on CAT scores and less on academics.
Currently, my elder brother is placed at Cognizant as a senior business analyst at 14 Lakh CTC in IIM Kashipur. How much would he be earning in the next 5 years?
The IT industry today is flourishing and is facing a huge shortage. So he will definitely land a great job especially if he is a BBA/BCOM graduate.
Cognizant does not have very fast growth. So depending on his performance, and economic and academic background, he might witness growth between 2% to 10%. If he is an engineer from the IT stream, his growth will be faster.
In my personal opinion, his IT background does not make him suitable for IIM Kashipur or even Lucknow. An IT software engineer with 2 years of experience earns around 18 to 20 lakh.
Is IIM-A campus more beautiful than IIM-L or IIM-C?
All the above IIMs, i.e. IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Lucknow, and IIM Calcutta are very beautiful but beauty is a subjective matter and it depends on the person on which campus he/she finds more beautiful, but if you still want a particular answer, then it has to be IIM Ahmedabad.
The campus of IIM Ahmedabad is very beautiful and it is among the most beautiful colleges in our country. The architecture is very good especially the new campus and the old campus is also being renovated.
What adds to the charm of the institute is the feeling that the reputed alumni sat in the same place and contemplated life and beyond from the same place, that you get to hang out.
