Does IIM Ahmedabad give a call to the top 50 people from different academic background even if I do not qualify the composite score for getting a call?

AT
Akshay Tripathi Posted On : December 13th, 2022
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (Graduated 2019)

The top 5% of people from any academic category will be preferred when giving a call provided that they have cleared the various criteria. They include:

  • Primary sectionals

  • Overall CAT cutoff

  • scored above the specified percentage in 10th and 12th

  • scored above the 80th percentile graduation score 

If you have cleared all these criteria then you will be among the eligible candidates. But IIM Ahmedabad calls only 5% of the top composite score holders. For example, if there are 100 general candidates then it will call only the top 5 composite score holders. If there are 2000 general candidates it will call only 100 top composite score holders. But the maximum number of calls made will never exceed 100.

Should I go for an MBA in IIM Indore or wait 1 year for better opportunities?

VG
Vedant Gautam Posted On : January 12th, 2023
Now a proud alumnus of IIM-I

IIM Indore has a lot to offer: following strict deadlines, taking on more responsibility when planning events, working closely with various batch mates on different group projects, having intense discussions in class, competitive placement seasons, fierce competition to win corporate competitions, mesmerizing sunsets (and sunrise, oftentimes getting to see both), and a wide range of opinions.

Exams, case study competitions, live projects, and events will be fun times for you to learn with and from friends. You'll come out of your shell over the next two years. You'll develop a positive outlook on your skills and your career goals as well as the ability to accept challenges as brand-new opportunities. It all depends on how much work you put in on a personal level.

Is it possible to get direct admission in DAIICT gandhi nagar with 58% of marks in 12th board..?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : May 24th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

It is unclear as to what direct admission means. If you mean without JEE Main, then I don’t think it’s possible. DAIICT admission is done on the basis of scores in JEE Main or GUJCET. The admission process is conducted on two levels -

  1. All India Level: JEE Main Scores
  2. Gujarat State Level: For the Gujarat category, the candidates have to apply through ACPC.

As far as the 12th percentage is concerned, I don’t think there is any fixed percentage so you might get admission with 58% marks.

Should I join BM in XIMB?

IP
Isha Parasramka Posted On : March 13th, 2023
PGDM from Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar

XIMB is one the top B schools in India and MBA in Business Management is its flagship course. Whether you should join it or not is your call depending on your inclinations and preferences. However, my answer entails various reasons why one must consider XIMB.

  • XIMB has a 31-year-long legacy which has resulted in its rich lineage, great faculty members, and an elaborate alumni base. 
  • The institute is known for its research culture and development activities on a regular basis in collaboration with the government.
  • XIMB is granted the South Asian Quality Assurance Systems (SAQS) accreditation by the Association of Management Development Institutions in South Asia (AMDISA) and the NBA Accreditation by the National Board of Accreditation for a period of 5 years for PGDM.
  • Unlike most B Schools it offers an MBA degree rather than a PGDM Diploma. An MBA gives a holistic view of the program while a PGDM focuses on a specific specialization.
  • XIMB also offers international exchange of students not only through the college but also through student-driven committees.
  • The faculty at XIMB are experts in their respective fields and have immense industry experience which is reflected in their pedagogy.
  • In the second year, you get an opportunity to do a double major, major plus minor in whichever fields (i.e. Marketing, Finance, operations, etc) we would like to gain knowledge and experience in. This gives us an opportunity to gain cross-functional knowledge and explore beyond our comfort zone, a quality required in the corporate world. 
  • XIMB encourages extra-curricular/ co-curricular activities combining activities and academics which helps you to learn how to become a better manager and put your theoretical knowledge to the test. 
  • Business seminars and talks hosted by industry leaders from every field are common in XIMB. These business talks help the students increase their practical knowledge with quality industry exposure. 
  • XIMB holds a strong alumni base with alumni at top positions in various companies. 
  • XIMB gives due importance to academics and learning through various projects, competitions, case studies, live projects, and faculty projects. 
  • The students are constantly evaluated through quizzes and assignments to keep them on their toes. This helps them adjust to the hectic schedule they face in the corporate world. 

Overall, the campus life at XIMB is unique and complete as it is a B-School that is forever awake.

What are the questions asked in Stella Maris College Chennai for admission?

AJ
Akriti Jain Posted On : October 14th, 2021
B.Com from Stella Maris College, Chennai (2019)

I have a friend from Stella Maris College Chennai. Here is what she told me about the admission process at the institute. 

Shortlisted candidates from round-1 are called for an interview. In the interview round, you need to bring all the original certificates. The following are the questions that they generally ask. 

  • Tell me about yourself?
  • What is your passion?
  • Why did you choose Stella?

The interviewer is usually a faculty member from a particular department in the college. An interview doesn’t guarantee that you will get admission. But most of the interviewed students get selected until and unless there is a valid rejection point.

Should I join IIM Rohtak? I’m a fresher, graduation scores are bad so even if I join, would I get a good placement offer?

AS
Anubhuti Shekhar Posted On : January 18th, 2023
Business Technology Analyst at Deloitte (company) (2020–present)

If you graduated from a top-tier college in your field of study and have excellent niche technical and professional skills, your market value rises. In this case, if you have a job offer that meets your short- and long-term career goals and you're happy with the remuneration, challenges, and learning environment, you should consider accepting it and postponing your MBA by a year or so. A few years of professional experience will undoubtedly boost your CV and qualify you for top-tier B-schools in India and abroad.

Alternatively, if you don't already have a satisfying job offer or want to pursue your master's degree for other reasons, IIM Rohtak is a good option.

If you don't have a job offer and only want to pursue an MBA from a top-tier MBA program, this is a difficult decision to make. Firstly, wasting a year in preparation is not worth it. You may believe that with a high score, you will be able to pass the exam next year and gain admission to top B-schools, but the truth is that even MBA colleges frown upon a gap year in their admission interviews, and it is difficult to account for when interviewing for placements and jobs.

Go for IIM Rohtak and make the most of the opportunities there. In reality, it is a central government-sponsored institution with standard and excellent academics, curriculum, and campus infrastructure.

Is there any chance of getting a seat at IIM Ahmedabad if I get above 90% in the CAT exam, but I have 72% in 10th and 60% in 12th?

AA
Abdul Ahad Posted On : December 13th, 2022
IIM Ahmedabad, Class of 2016

Honestly, there is almost no chance of getting into any IIMs with your profile with any percentile. Even getting a 99 score in CAT will not guarantee your admission into IIM Ahmedabad given your past academic score is so low.

Still, you can try your best and score the maximum CAT percentile and instead go for institutes like FMS, MDI and NITIE, IIT B/D/M. Another tip is to take XAT as it may increase your chances of admission. 

A 90-95 CAT score will open other options for you such as

  • IIFT (own entrance)

  • SIBM, SCMHRD (both through SNAP)

  • NMIMS (through NMAT)

  • IMT, XIMB, IMI, Delhi University courses (DSE, MIB, MBE)

So it’s best if you try all options and sit for various exams. Then choose the best institute for you.
