Should I join IIM Lucknow for a PGP now offer in hand or wait and go for a one-year MBA program? My work experience is 45 months with decent academics.

If IIM Lucknow doesn't hire you for positions that are relevant to your experience in a 2-year program, it will be harder for you to land the desired positions (though there are exceptions).

The one-year MBA is designed for students with more than five years of experience and offers many benefits, including a balanced and diverse cohort from which you can learn from their past failures and successes. The placement scene for a 5-year-old male would be highly subjective (depending on your past experience, past brand name, etc.) People with less than six years of experience have been offered AVP positions in reputable MNCs. Therefore, it is dependent upon what you bring to the table.

Furthermore, because the 2-year course is 34/35 years old, industry acceptance is much higher than for the 1-year course, which is now in its 13th year.

Before making a decision, weigh your options and speak with as many alumni as possible.

Can I get into IIM Trichy with a CGPA between 6.5-7.00?

KK

Past academics are one of the many criteria for admission to IIM Trichy. It has a certain weightage but not more than a CAT score. So if you think you have a low CGPA, you should target a very high CAT percentile, something above 98. You can also prepare well for the interviews beforehand to compensate for your low undergraduate scores. One important thing to keep in mind is when asked during the interview the reason behind your low scores, you should have a viable and reasonable answer. Then they might overlook your UG scores and focus on other parameters instead

What CAT percentile do I need to score in order to have a healthy chance of converting IIM Calcutta? My profile is 9.8/83/8.3 (GEM fresher).

AK
Abhishek Kumar Posted On : December 15th, 2022
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (Graduated 2019)

There is no specific percentile that will get you into IIM Calcutta. But if you want to stay on the safer side you meet to score at least 99.65-99.70+ in CAT. The minimum cutoff required for the general category remained 85 percentile, however, the actual cutoff to get a call remained much higher i.e around 98-99 percentile.

For the final selection, 4 parameters are considered:

  1. CAT score (weightage 30)

  2. Personal Interview (weightage 48)

  3. Point awarded for Academic Diversity at Bachelor’s level for Non- Engineering degree (weightage 4)

  4. Work Experience (weightage 8)

Since you are a fresher you need to work hard for the Personal Interview as it carries the highest weightage.

I got 90% in 10, 80% in 12 and 62% in UG. Will I get admission in IIM Udaipur?

SB
Saptarshi Bhowmik Posted On : May 19th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management, Udaipur (2019)

Usually, a 95+ score in CAT combined with excellent performance in GD-PI or WAT increases your chances of admission to IIM Udaipur. The new IIMs unlike old IIMs don’t focus much on academics so the entire focus is given to CAT scores. 

Other factors that are taken into consideration are diversity, gender, and caste. Basically, a high CAT score guarantees admission to IIM Udaipur.

I got 1684 as my merit rank in the NPAT. Can I get admission for a BBA in NMIMS Mumbai?

SG
Sanaya Gupta Posted On : June 15th, 2023
Studied Marketing at Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, Mumbai (2019)

There are around 500 seats for BBA at NMIMS. To bag a seat at the Mumbai campus, the best and secured rank is below 1000, but there are chances at 1684 rank as well because as the waitlist moves, the students at below ranks shift to a more probable zone. In the past, the trends have shown that even students with 2000-2200 ranks got admission into the BBA course at NMIMS. To secure your rank for the Mumbai campus, you must have to score above 80-85 in the NPAT exam.

Has anyone belonging to NC OBC made it to the IIMs FMS Delhi XLRI with 3 gap years after graduation?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : April 28th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Aspirants typically confront numerous challenges along the CAT trip, which is frequently very long and arduous. The process of preparing for and performing well in interviews is another mammoth undertaking, even though studying for the exam and doing well on it is difficult in and of itself. The appearance of gap years on a CV is one barrier that many prospective candidates worry about. Candidates frequently believe that having a gap in their employment history will result in outright rejection or lower interview scores. Their confidence and preparation are negatively impacted by this opinion.

There are people who have converted colleges such as IIM C, IIM B and FMS with gap years. You can definitely make it if you are able to justify your gap years

Is it possible to cancel admission after completing the 1st year in PUMBA if I will able to score well in next year’s MBA CET exam?

RG
Rimjhim Ghosh Posted On : April 18th, 2023
Studied at Xavier School of Management (2019)

Yes, it is possible to cancel admission after completing the first year in PUMBA if you score well in the next year's MBA CET exam. However, if you choose to do so, you will have to repeat the first year of the MMS course at a different college if you decide to take admission in another institute. Your earlier allotment or CAP participation will not be considered in any way for the new MMS course. It is important to note that you will have to justify the one-year gap or the first year of MMS at a different college during your summer and final placement interviews. This scenario is not uncommon, as many students take admission in a particular institute due to unpredictability in the entrance exam results.

Which one should I join, XIMB BM or IIM Amritsar?

KS
Khushboo Singh Posted On : January 19th, 2023
PGP student @ IIM Amritsar

If you have to choose between XIMB and IIM Amritsar I will always suggest you go for IIM Amritsar. Apart from the IIM tag, its relentless growth is a major deciding factor. The ROI at XIMB is very less in comparison to IIM. The points below will help you understand my point.

  • The fee of IIM Amritsar is INR 12 Lakhs whereas that of XIMB is INR 20 Lakhs. 
  • The Average package is almost similar to the 2 colleges ( IIM Amritsar- INR 14.63 LPA and XIMB- INR 15.42 LPA). So when compared to the fees XIMB has a lower ROI than IIM Amritsar.
  • IIM Amritsar has witnessed fast-paced growth in recent years.
  • It is the only and best MBA college in the whole of Punjab
  • The batch size is smaller than that of XIMB and it’s an extra benefit when it comes to placement opportunities.

So IIM Amritsar is the best option among the 3 colleges.
