Should I join NMIMS Mumbai (MBA core) or wait for another year
Waiting for another year and dropping NMIMS is only justifiable if you are certain to get into the top 5 like IIM ABC and FMS. Otherwise forgoing this opportunity might not be a wise decision mainly because
- Your work experience of 22 months is the right time to do an MBA
- CAT is extremely certain. You might have been able to make it into NMIMS, but there is no guarantee you will be able to clear CAT next year again
- NMIMS has a 100% placement percentage so you will definitely end up with a good package
- The brand name is more than enough to add to your CV
Moreover, if you are willing to enter the Marketing sector, it’s still not late as FMCG don’t prefer candidates with much work experience. But if you are interested in Strategic Management, you can wait for a year and target the top 5 B Schools.
So the end note is, forgo the offer if you are certain you can make it into the top 5 else grab this opportunity.

How good is PGDM- Full time at IMT Ghaziabad with almost 4 years work ex?

How is IMS Ghaziabad for PGDM, and what are the campus placements like over there?
IMS Ghaziabad is a decent choice for PGDM in case you don’t have time to re-attempt CAT and have no better options. In this case, you have to resort to giving up on top-tier colleges and choosing mediocre schools. IMS Ghaziabad is one such choice and satisfies those looking for average college life and placements.
The quality of education is good, and the courses are taught by knowledgeable faculty who are quite learned and experienced in their fields. Students get enough exposure to the corporate world.
As far as the placements are considered, the students have been posting about the terrible situation in the college and have been criticizing the system. But the reality is you get placed on the basis of knowledge and skills you have acquired in 2 years. Even a top college will not get you a good package if you did not gain the necessary knowledge and skills. So it all depends on you and not the college.
How can I do MBA at IIM Bangalore?
It is simple to gain admission to IIM Bangalore to pursue an MBA. Apply for the common admission test (CAT), get a good percentile based on your previous work experience, and then pass the WAT-GD-PI process. Every year, nearly 2 lakh aspirants take the CAT. The prestigious 2-year MBA program at IIMB accepts only 400-500 students. That means you must outperform 1,99,500 other students or 99.75% of those vying for the coveted seat.
IIMB requires stellar academics in your 10th/12th/UG, meaningful participation in extra-curricular activities (even better if you have won some awards), and a zeal to give your best and survive the rigorous curriculum as you enter a daunting corporate life later. If you are a General Engineer Male (GEM), you must score at least 99%ile (assuming you scored 85-90% in your 10th/12th/UG) to be considered for an interview. Sometimes the cutoff is as high as 99.5%ile or higher. Because of gender diversity, General Engineer Females (GEF) have a few percentile points advantage. If you come from a non-engineering background, you can still get an interview even if your score is 90-95%. Although your percentile goal should not be based on your UG profile. To get the highest CAT percentile, you must give your all.
For CAT preparation, you must first understand where you stand. Solve any previous year's CAT exam to determine your strengths and weaknesses. Consult a coaching institute to determine whether you require coaching or if you can prepare on your own. The idea is to start with the fundamentals. After that, begin solving mocks. It is also more important to analyze mocks than it is to solve them. Determine your mistakes and try not to repeat them in the future. The trick is to look for incremental improvements in each mock.
When the CAT is finished and you have achieved the required percentile, it is time to start preparing for the WAT-GD-PI. Interviews for the IIMB will be stressful. They will run a rapid-fire round with strange questions, testing your ability to survive the rigorous curriculum while also verifying your credentials and experience.
