Can students outside Maharashtra get into JBIMS?

MS
Mahima Sethi Posted On : March 3rd, 2023
MBA from Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (Graduated 2011)

Admission to JBIMS can be gained through two methods: Direct admission based on written scores in CET and other All India entrance tests, or shortlisting based on CAT/CET scores and GD-PI.

For the Direct admission method, 15% of the total intake will be set aside for All India seats. This includes seats for Maharashtra residents, as well as a maximum of 18 seats for students from outside of Maharashtra. The cutoff for these seats is generally a score of 99.98 or higher in any of the entrance tests, such as CAT, XAT, CMAT, MAT, ATMA, or CET. Additionally, there are 2 seats set aside for students from Jammu and Kashmir, which are not counted among the 18 outside Maharashtra seats.

For the Shortlisting method, there is no fixed quota. Students with a score of 99 percentile or higher, a good profile, and successful performance in the GDPI can be admitted. When this method was followed in the past, students with scores as low as 97 percentile received calls, but most admitted students had scores of 98.8 or higher in CET or CAT. This method promotes diversity and fairness, but the method used for admission is ultimately up to the discretion of the institute.

In conclusion, students from outside of Maharashtra can get into JBIMS as long as they have a strong written score and perform well in the selection process.

Does IISc Bangalore select students with a low CGPA and average GATE marks?

SP
Shikha Poddar Posted On : July 21st, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (IISc) (2016)

In IISc Bangalore, for certain programs, only the GATE scores are taken into consideration. For example- M.Tech (course) in CSA and SSA streams.

In the above-mentioned programs, you have to secure the top 50-100 rank in the GATE CS examination.

For M.Tech in some streams, and M.Tech (Research) and Ph.D. programs, IISc Bangalore uses the GATE score simply as a cutoff. The selection is done based on the written test and subsequent interview. The GATE cutoff for an interview call is relatively low. This is done with the idea that a good student who had a bad exam can still perform extremely well during the interview. For M.Tech/ Ph.D.  CS, this rank is equal to the top 500-1000 ranks(for those who apply), but it can go to 200 for other streams.

Your GATE scores and GPA during graduation become mostly irrelevant once you get called by IISc Bangalore for an interview. They can only work to make the interviewer biased toward/against you, this won’t happen unless you have significantly high or low scores respectively. What matters for your selection is if you can impress the interviewers with your knowledge of the topic(s) that you want to study/research.

Thus, if you go for a course at IISc Bangalore which makes selections through a written test and an interview, make sure to study your topic well and answer the interviewers with confidence.

How do I prepare for the CDPI in NMIMS, Mumbai? Will I get admission into NMIMS, Bangalore if my Mumbai CDPI does not go well?

PR
Prasanth Reddy Posted On : February 28th, 2023
former Placement Executive at SVKM's NMIMS (2017-2019)

Preparing for the CD PI round is a crucial part because your chances of admission depend on them largely. My answer entails the tips one must adhere to before and during the Case Discussion round.

Before Case Discussion 

Be well versed in current affairs, general knowledge and industry trends.

Prepare arguments on some specific topics including both sides of the argument

Prepare concise but concrete points 

Mock discussions are the most precise way to prepare for CD

Analyze your own performance relentlessly and keep improving 

During Case Discussions 

  • During the initial 15 minutes, deliver 2-3 strong points
  • Present the problem in a crisp manner
  • Support your points with real-life examples or that from current affairs. Supporting your own or even others' points through reasoning and examples will get you free points
  • Summarize all the good points given by the others on a sheet of paper to give a nice ending note
  • Give chance to the silent speakers this might impress the panelists
  • Add recommendations and support it with relevant information 

Personal Interview 

  • Know about yourself like your abilities, strengths, and weaknesses and present it in a good manner
  • Practice the interview with someone and receive feedbacks
  • You should prepare on personal information, education background, work experiences, hobbies, interests, future plans, and current affairs.

Mock CD and PI are extremely important as the advice and feedback received will increase your performance and confidence tremendously.


 

Coming to the second part of your question, Both colleges have different merit lists. If you don't do well in NM Mumbai rounds, you still stand a chance to convert your NM Bangalore/Hyderabad call, provided you’ve applied for a PGDM course as well.

What is the process for getting Osmania University to send the transcripts directly to WES?

AS
Ankit Srivastav Posted On : September 22nd, 2021
B.A Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing & Information Systems, Osmania University (2020)

Though studying in OU or OU-affiliated engineering colleges is a big career advantage, getting some work done from the OU examination branch can be challenging.

The website which OU offers to apply WES with transcripts is not well designed and you will be lucky if you get your work done in a single go. I say this based on my friend’s experience, he applied WES with transcripts online in an urgent mode.

He was charged extra as the packet was supposed to be dispatched within 10 days for this urgent mode. But it was not sent for 2 months. He never received a call or an email stating the reason why it was kept on hold or nothing was updated on their online website.

For things to get done, either you or someone on your behalf needs to go visit the examination branch to sort out the things. Calling the examination branch won’t be effective. 

Even if everything goes well and you would like to receive the tracking of your application, they expect you to visit the examination branch to know the tracking number instead of updating it online on the OU website.

Is It worth to join B schools like IMT/IMI/XIMB whose fees are around 20 lakhs if I have calls from reputed government colleges on par with these?

SB
Suntonu Basu Posted On : March 13th, 2023
Professor of Finance at Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (2015-present)

Before I talk about the worth of private B Schools like IMT/IMI/XIMB, let’s consider their average packages.

B School

Average Package

IMT 

INR 17.35 LPA

IMI Delhi

INR 17.01 LPA

XIMB

INR 20 LPA

The average package of government colleges like IITs and DSE is slightly less around INR 10.57 LPA. So the point is if you are ready to invest a hefty amount in B Schools, you will not regret the decision as they are game changers. The level of exposure and diversity is almost higher than in Government colleges. IITs, DFS and DSE MBAs have a more theoretical approach than a practical one. However, the figures for private B schools are inflated so do consider the ups and downs.

  • IITs are best for operations and manufacturing industries
  • IMT or XIMB is a good option for Marketing
  • DFS or IMI are best suited for Finance
  • XIMB or DSE are best for HR

The final decision is up to you. Try to find what exactly you want from MBA

  • If you are looking for the IIT tag, then IIT
  • If you are after ROI or PhD then DSE or DFS
  • If you want to climb the corporate ladder, XIMB is the best

Make a well-informed decision after proper research.
