How hard is it to get into IIM Shillong?
The competition for admission to most Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) is typically fierce, as there are a large number of highly qualified candidates vying for a limited number of spots. While some IIMs may be more selective than others, the difference in the opportunities available to students after graduating from one IIM versus another is usually not significant, with most top recruiters hiring from a range of IIMs. This is especially true for IIMs like IIM Shillong and IIM Trichy, which have strong placement records and productive faculty.
To give a sense of the level of competition at IIM Shillong, it may be helpful to consider the percentile scores that are typically required for shortlisting. While an older IIM like IIM Ahmedabad or IIM Lucknow may not consider candidates with a CAT percentile score below 99% for most general category students (with some exceptions for certain groups such as economics/art students, females, and other deserving categories), IIM Shillong or IIM Trichy may consider candidates with a score as low as 98% or even slightly lower.
It's worth noting that this year, the competition for admission to IIM Shillong may be somewhat less intense due to the expansion of the batch sizes at the ABCL campuses. Campus A and B are planning batches of 450 students, with a goal of increasing to 650 students in the next few years. As a result, candidates may have a better chance of being admitted to IIM Shillong this year.
Overall, the admission process at IIM Shillong involves an initial review of the CAT merit list, followed by the consideration of scores for academic proficiency and the selection of a pool of 1000 students for every 200 seats at the campus for interviews. During the interview stage, only the candidates' CAT scores and their performance in the interview are taken into account. The final selection is made based on the ability of the candidates to adapt to the challenges of the corporate world and their potential to excel academically, as indicated by their high CAT scores.
How do I increase my chances of getting into FMS Delhi?
If you are goal-oriented and serious about getting into FMS Delhi then all you need to do is score the highest CAT percentile you can. This is because, unlike other B Schools, FMS does not focus on your past mistakes or academics. Rather it focuses more on how ambitious you are now to achieve your goal which is currently to get into FMS. Some tips that will help you achieve a high CAT score and make it into FMS are
- Make a tight schedule and adhere to it.
- Read as much as you can as RCs play an important role.
- Every weekend, revise all that you have studied and take mocks.
- Don’t just take mocks for the sake of it. Rather after every mock analysis your mistakes and weaknesses and work on them.
- Don’t underestimate the VA section. English is equally important in your CAT exam. So keep practicing English.
Lastly, remember that the mock tests do not reflect your CAT score. I have seen instances where people have scored 70% in mock but 99+ in CAT. So it’s just for practice. Don’t let the mock score demotivate you to give up. The ultimate key is to revise, practice, and have patience.
What is the final composite score needed by a general candidate for admission to IIM Ahmedabad to convert the interview call? Would a score of 70 be sufficient?
IIM Ahmedabad has decided to give little importance to the bachelor's degree components from the shortlisting criteria and to apply it uniformly to all the candidates. The AR now will be computed on a scale of 25 (considering class 10th marks, class 12th marks, and the candidate's work experience) and the points will be pro-rated to 35.
The following formula will now be used for computing the Composite Score (CS):
CS = 0.35* Pro-rated AR Score/35 + 0.65* Normalized overall CAT Score
Pro-rated AR Score= [(AR score computed by taking 0 points for Bachelor’s degree)/25] * 35.

Can I expect AIIMS Raebareli or Deoghar with a score of 500 in the NEET 2023 being in the UR category?
AIIMS Raebareli and Deoghar's cutoff is expected to be higher than new government colleges in rural areas because of the no-bond policy, better hostels, and low fees.

Why is the waitlist movement of IIM Trichy slow?
There are multiple reasons that cause the waitlist movement of IIM Trichy to slow down. Some include
- A high number of buffer calls.
- The waitlist commitment fee ensures only interested candidates stay in the waitlist.
- Slower waitlist movement of older IIMs. This is because the Waitlist movement of IIM Trichy or that of any second-generation IIM depends on the waitlist movement of the top IIMs like A,B, l,C, K,L,I. Once their waitlist moves, the candidates vacant the seats from the newer IIMs resulting in their own waitlist movement.
So all you can do is wait for the top IIMs' waitlist movement.

- Bring mosquito repellents as mosquitos are a big problem here.
- Don’t carry books, rather buy them at the college to ensure light luggage.
