IIM Bangalore: 15 Answered Questions
What are the procedures to get an admission in IIM Bangalore, as an ECE student?

| Parameters | Weight |
| CAT 2021 score | 40 |
| 10th score | 20 |
| 12th score | 10 |

| Gender diversity | 2 |
Having a good academic record and relevant work experience of over 3 years can help your chance of getting a shortlist. Prepare well for the PI-WAT part. Personal interview has 30 weightage for final selection.
Is it advisable to settle on JBIMS, if one only aimed for IIM's?
Comparing JBIMS with IIMs is highly unjustified as IIMs are way ahead of JBIMS or FMS even if we consider the ROI. They are unique in many aspects such as
- IIM ABC and ISB is the only B-schools that offer Investment banking profiles in placement. Even if we look at other profiles, it’s easy to infer that they are much superior in terms of quality than the ones offered at JBIMS.
- Being a pass out of IIMs or ISB, you have an upper hand in the higher spectrum of one’s career, i.e, leadership roles.
- JBIMS or FMS lack the general ambiance and culture of a typical B School due to a lack of residential and campus facilities.
- The peer quality of IIMS and ISB are much better than JBIMS whose gender ratio, diversity, and competitive exam are very one-dimensional.
- The only significant aspect of JBIMS is the ROI which when negated makes JBIMS as mediocre as SP Jain and MDI.
- The placement statistics of JBIMS are much similar to that of new IIMs or average B Schools like MDI, and SP Jain. They are in no way in comparison to the top IIMs even with batch sizes as small as 120.
So one should choose JBIMS or FMS over IIM only if one wants to spend low fees, take no loans, or pursue MBA in Mumbai or Delhi.
Can I make it to IIM A B or C if my 10 score is 93, 12 is 82 and grade is 73 and from a tier 3 college?

IIM Calcutta: you will need 98.8+ if you are a girl. For boys, it is around 99.6+.
What is the selection procedure like for EPGP at IIM Bangalore?
The screening or selection process for EPGP at IIM Bangalore for applications in which they evaluate your application, GMAT scores, academics, career progression, career/extracurricular achievements, diversity, and knowledge that you can bring to class.
If you pass this, you will be invited for a face-to-face or Skype interview with a panel consisting of someone from the program office and alums who will check if you have the right credentials and expectations from and about the program.
Can I get IIM Bangalore with 77.4 in 12th and 56.6 in graduation?
If you are a General Engineer Male, even with a perfect CAT score, getting into IIM Bangalore is nearly impossible. Your 12th-grade point average is low. Your UG grades are even worse. If you are not an engineer, you may have a chance with a high CAT percentile, but there is no guarantee.
IIMB looks for consistent and high academic performance throughout the 10th, 12th, and UG years.
Over the years, IIMB has discovered that students who perform well in the academic program typically have a consistently good academic record throughout their school, high school, and graduation levels, in addition to demonstrating sufficiently high aptitude as measured by the CAT (Common Admission Test of the IIMs)/GMAT. As a result, IIMB evaluates candidates' suitability for the PGP program using a variety of criteria, including academic performance in school, high school, and graduation programs, as well as CAT/GMAT scores.
Should I join IIM Bangalore or take a job at Ernst Young as an Associate Consultant?
- Low Engineering CGPA - You should talk to IIM Bangalore graduates with similar profiles and ask if they have any problems as a result.
- Give CAT next year - While many people maintain high percentiles year after year, there are some who drop from 99 to 98. You never know what will happen the following year. It doesn't get any better than this for you, because IIM ABC is in the same league.
- You can take Ernst Young now as an Associate Consultant and after 3-4 years, do an MBA from Harvard or Stanford.
- You can also stick with Ernst Young and then advance your career in the consulting field from there.
What should I do as an undergrad to get into IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore or IIM Calcutta?
As an undergraduate, you must complete the following tasks:
-
Better 10th and 12th-grade point averages, at least above 80% in both.
-
Maintain your academic focus.
-
Choose a non-engineering subject for your undergraduate studies. It will help your profile.
-
Attempt to score above the 99th percentile on the CAT. If you want, you can do coaching during your undergrad.
-
Enhance your communication and writing abilities. This will be beneficial in WAT and GD/PI. If you want, you can join Toastmasters or start a blog.
-
If you want, try to participate in some extracurricular activities. This will not improve your IIM chances (unless you have a national-level certificate), but it will add some vibrancy to your profile. Activities can range from being a member of a club or placement cell to creating your own YouTube channel.
-
Perform some internships or work as a freelancer on a project. It will provide fodder for conversation in interviews.
I am fresher student studying at IIM Lucknow, I want to drop out. What are my chances of converting IIM-A,B, C after gaining 2-3 years of experience?
I don’t think it's wise to decide to drop out from IIM Lucknow when you already worked hard and cracked the entrance. You even succeeded in the interview and yet here you want to give it all up. Every year the level of difficulty of entrance exams like the CAT and XAT keeps changing. Students who might have scored 90+ percentile one year might score 40-60 percentile next year. It all depends on preparation and mindset. Meanwhile, you have already succeeded and gotten into an IIM so why take it for granted?
Yet if you are adamant about not continuing, I would suggest you just focus on your job and gain a lot of experience. Chances are that you might climb the ladder without an MBA or IIM. Many CEOs and CFOs don’t need an MBA to make them what they are.
Despite it all, if you are appearing again for CAT, then make sure you have a valid explanation of dropping out during your interview.
Is it necessary to be an IITian or a topper to get admission to IIM Ahmedabad or Bangalore?
It’s not at all necessary to be an IITian or a topper to get admission to IIM Ahmedabad or Bangalore. Some students are neither batch toppers nor IITians. In fact, some of them do not even finish first in their class in 12th grade.
You must perform well in interviews (both IIM A and B), have a good CAT score, and demonstrate consistent academic performance. And consistent academic performance in college means a CGPA of 9.1/10.
Can I get into IIM A with a 9.4 CGPA, 89.30 in 10th, 87.60 in 12th, and 74 in B Tech?
Your academics appear to be quite good. To achieve your goal, you must now concentrate on getting an excellent CAT percentile. If you are in a general category, you should aim for 99.9+.
Begin by strengthening your fundamentals, such as reading comprehension, and devote time to strengthening your verbal skills. Devote 3-4 hours per day, without fail, to your preparations and take note of important shortcuts, tips, and tricks. Also, ensure that you are up to date on current events and that you are well-versed in GK. Finally, work on improving your self-confidence and communication skills so that you can easily pass the interview at IIM A.
