50% of the remaining MBBS seats will be filled by the State Government based on NEET UG scores in the given manner:

What is the process and eligibility of getting enrolled in an executive MBA from IIM Calcutta?

RS
Ranjit Singh Posted On : December 12th, 2022
P.G.D.M in Design & Marketing, Delhi Univ

IIM Calcutta is among the top B Schools in the customized executive education category globally. It offers 2 executive programs - PGP-Ex or Post Graduate Programs for Executive, and

PGP-Ex-VLM or PGP-Ex for Visionary Leadership in Manufacturing. 

Factors considered in the selection process include:

  • Academic record

  • Work Experience 

  • Performance in aptitude tests

  • Personal interview 

Now let’s have a glimpse of both courses individually.

PGPEX:

  • 1-year full-time program 

  • It is for Industry Executives who have worked for more than five years in the industry.

  • The program helps people stuck in the middle of their careers to upgrade their management skills and climb the ladder to top management roles.

  • You require a Bachelor's degree to join the program.

PGPEX-VLM:

  • 1-year full time program 

  • It focuses on the manufacturing industry 

  • Co-run by IIM Calcutta, IIT Kanpur, and IIT Madras

  • You require an engineering degree and a minimum of four and a half-year of work experience in manufacturing, engineering, and related sectors.

Both programs are equally good. The only difference lies in the fact that the latter focuses on manufacturing and technical aspects more than the former.

My friend got admission in the FMS and he is still thinking of dropping a year to get admission in the IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore or Calcutta. What should he do?

SS
Srimoyi Sen Posted On : February 11th, 2021
IIM Calcutta (2019)

Well, it entirely depends upon your friend and his professional profile.

He can think of a reattempt if:

  1. He has a great academic record in X, XII, and graduation 
  2. He has a work experience of at least 2 years at present.
  3. He is confident of scoring high enough to get a call from IIM A, B, C next year and convert at least one of them successfully.

However, he should thoroughly evaluate his chances of being successful in securing his place in either IIM A, B, or C. Also, will his/her profile be good enough next year? With the admission criteria changing every year, it's not advisable to drop an offer from one of the premier non-IIM B- Schools for CAT retake. The cost of dropping a year in terms of money, time, and work experience, in particular, should be thoroughly evaluated. 

Drop a year only after careful consideration. Otherwise, it will be wise to join FMS and give MBA a shot.

Does IIM Lucknow only give admission to students with work experience?

AS
Animesh Shah Posted On : January 9th, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (2022)

The simple answer is no, IIM Lucknow and in fact, even other IIMs don’t give calls to just experienced people. Every MBA aspirant who has a Bachelor's degree in any field (minimum 3 years of course) or is in their final year is eligible to appear for CAT. You start getting calls from IIMs based on your percentile. IIM Lucknow Sectional Cutoff is 85 Percentile while the Overall CAT Percentile is 90 for General Category.

However, there are several other parameters that determine your chances of admission. The parameters along with their respective weightage are given below

Parameters

From the table you can determine that the maximum weightage is given to CAT. Although work experience does carry a certain weight, a fresher can maximize their CAT score to compensate for it. 

IIM Lucknow gives more weightage to work experience than other IIMs but that does not mean it does not give admission to freshers. It’s just that experienced candidates have a higher chance of admission.

Is IBS a good college for an MBA in marketing? Which is the best campus: Hyderabad, Mumbai, or Pune?

JT
Jayant Thakur Posted On : February 24th, 2023
Studied at ICFAI Business School, Mumbai

Among the campuses of IBS, Hyderabad is considered the best, followed by Mumbai and Pune. It is assumed that the syllabus and course content are similar across the three campuses. Hyderabad is considered to be the best in terms of facilities and resources, while Mumbai is also a strong option, with good professors, case studies, presentations, and a well-equipped campus.

While IBS Hyderabad has a strong placement record, most of the offered positions are in sales. There are also opportunities in advertising, retailing, and other fields, but they are less prevalent. The pay packages offered by the college are decent. After gaining some experience through campus placements, you can explore job opportunities outside the college.

It is important to note that none of the IBS campuses are AICTE approved, but they are affiliated with ICFAI University in Dehradun. As an alternative, you can opt for a distance MBA program by paying an additional fee.

I have 89.8 in 10th, 62.15 in 12th and I have one year back in engineering. Can I get admission in IIM Calcutta if I score a good percentile in CAT?

PS
Priti Sen Posted On : December 1st, 2022
IIM Ahmedabad alumnus, MD, Bfactory

IIM Calcutta distributes its components and assigns weights to them in order to generate category-wise shortlists for the PI and WAT stages.

 

COMPONENTS

WEIGHTS

CAT Overall Score

28

Class Xth Marks

10

Class XIIth Marks

10

Gender Diversity Factor

2

Total

50

 

(A/B)*28 is the formula for calculating cat percentile weight.

  • A = Total CAT score of the candidate

  • B = CAT Maximum Score

You will receive a 10/10 in class ten, a 2/10 in class twelve, and a 0 in gender diversity. To get an interview call from IIM Calcutta, you must score 99.9 percentile or higher.

Given that you received a very high CAT score, you must perform flawlessly in the interview and WAT in order to get the call. You can receive mentoring from IIM Ahmedabad alumni if you live in Delhi and are preparing for the CAT.
