Is it possible to get a job at McKinsey, Bain, BCG, or A.T Kearney 1 year after graduating from IIM Ahmedabad?
At McKinsey, the minimum time between two attempts to go through the recruitment process is 24 months. The procedure is the same as on campus, with similar case-type interviews. There are two options for applying: directly through the website or through a referral. In either case, your CV will not be accepted until you have completed two years of work. The process for lateral hires is carried out 1-2 times per year, depending on the availability of roles. If your CV is chosen for further consideration, you will be contacted for an interview. If the partners interviewing you are unsure about something, the opinions of your batch mates will only serve as a push in either direction. Also, if you were previously shortlisted for campus interviews, those who interviewed you will be asked for their perceptions.
As a result, it would be beneficial to receive feedback on why you did not pass the previous exam and whether you were able to make up the difference in the two years between. For example, if you lacked leadership experience, did your workplace provide you with opportunities to demonstrate it? Have you gained experience delivering analytics-heavy projects if your academics or problem-solving skills were a weak link? These are the topics on which you will be grilled the most.
Lateral hiring for those who were previously rejected is extremely rare, and even if you make it, you will start at the bottom, a couple of years junior to your batch mates.
Is it worth to join in IIM Nagpur? How far it is comparable with old IIMs? How about ROI there
Let’s compare IIM Nagpur with the older IIMs generally. IIM Nagpur lacks in the following aspects
- Permanent Campus
- Permanent faculty
- Good number and standard of peers
But what’s amazing is that these shortcomings don’t bring down their worth even a bit. It has more merits than demerits. Some include
- IIM Ahmedabad’s mentorship brings in the best faculties and helps maintain a learning environment.
- Various industry interaction programs are held to inculcate management skills and live experiences
- It enjoys a good location advantage as it attracts companies from around the country
- The Foreign Exchange Program provides excellent exposure to the international corporate world
- Lower fees compared to other IIMs
- The hostel and infrastructure facility are at par with that of other IIMs.
Coming to the ROI, IIM Nagpur definitely excels at this one. This is because its fees are lower than other IIMs while the packages offered are almost similar. At the end of the day what matters is that despite being a new IIM it has grown leaps and bounds and it is expected to do more in the future.
I am a class 9 student. What preparations should I make to get into IIM Ahmedabad?
Here are a few of the things that you should do to prepare.
High academic proficiency:
You have to score high marks in class 10th, class 12th, and graduation.
- Class 10th marks need to be 90+ ideally. The same can be expected from class 12th marks. The cutoffs may vary for science, commerce, and arts students.
- UG marks are another criterion for getting admission to IIMA. If you are an engineer, you got to score a CGPA of at least 8. Cutoffs may vary across various UG specializations.
Excellent CAT percentile:
- IIM Ahmedabad is the best business school in the country. It is obviously expected that the CAT percentile for admission to this prestigious institute will be high as well.
- A general Male engineer needs a 99.7+ with high academic grades to be shortlisted.
- If your academic grades are a bit bad, they have to be compensated with a higher percentile. But if you have poor academic grades, even a 100 percentile cannot help you. You won’t be shortlisted.
A well-rounded profile:
- Once you make it to IIMA, you will have to compete with the best brains of the country for the jobs as well as the internships.
- You need to have a well-rounded and balanced profile. This means you need to have academic consistency and great extracurriculars.
- If you have these, you stand a much higher chance to get a good internship or even a great job in the finals.
Apart from these, you need a lot of mental strength. IIMA is known to be exhausting and wearying right in the first year. You just need to work hard and always be at the top of your game. This is going to be the only way to survive, grow and do well in your academics there.
What books should I read for making an impression on the panelist of IIM Ahmedabad?
Read books to learn something new and interesting, not to make an impression during the interview. Something that can be added to your knowledge base. If you read to impress the panel, you'll be more concerned with completing the number of books than with gaining a deeper understanding of the context, which can defeat the purpose of reading entirely. Keep in mind that some people can read quickly and with great comprehension. It could be a lifelong hobby for them. Maintain your current pace.
In terms of books, there are some common genres that can be good conversation topics during interviews, such as history, politics, innovation, literature, and so on, but read what interests you. Even if you're reading simple books like Harry Potter, it's fine as long as you can answer some good questions about what you've learned from the characters, incidents, or the book as a whole. Do read about the author and his/her other works as well. You will be questioned about other works by the same author or similar books that are available. Make sure you can explain why you chose a specific genre.
How effective do you find the teaching technique in IIM Ahmedabad?
The lecture method, case method, or a combination of the two will be used depending on the subject being taught or discussed and on how the professor doing with this method.
Some are best taught using the case method, while others prefer the lecture method, but many others require a combination of the two.
Class participation, role-playing, and individual or group assignments are all important.
Which is better Stanford University or IIM Ahmedabad?
How difficult is the GD-PI round at IIM Ahmedabad? What exactly happened and how did you prepare for it refer to the details?
Yes, it is extremely competitive, particularly in the GD at IIM Ahmedabad. You would now have WAT (Written Analysis Test).
You should prepare for GD by reading 3 to 4 topics per day, reading magazines and newspapers, using the internet, and taking notes in a notebook. Draw diagrams and try to construct a thought structure for each topic. This approach should be useful unless and until you are a voracious news reader/consumer. And, yes, keep a physical notebook. Prepare all common questions for PI, such as Why MBA, Tell Me Something About Yourself, and so on. Perform some mock interviews. If you can get your hands on some alumni, conduct mock interviews with them.
For all call-getters, IMS organizes an Achievers' Workshop (with some consent to claim your credentials, if you get selected). Mock interviews are conducted by IIM (including IIMA) alumni during the IMS workshop. Mock interviews are essential; conduct at least three to four over the course of a month to improve your interview skills. Do your own soul-searching and plan your responses before the mocks. Structure implies having a reason for saying what you said.
What are the fields in which I can go for a summer internship at IIM Ahmedabad?
Who gives a higher placement package: NLSIU Bangalore or IIM Ahmedabad?
NLSIU Bangalore offers campus placement for its five-year flagship law degree program. IIM Ahmedabad offers campus placement for postgraduate management students. As IIM Ahmedabad is a post-graduate institution, one can assume that the pay package will be significantly higher.
Furthermore, the applicant and student pool at IIMA would be far more diverse than that of NLSIU. They will have mastered and will exhibit a higher, broader range of skill sets. As a result, IIM Ahmedabad placement packages will be dynamic and more competitive.
