Admission:
For Mba, the only eligibility is to have a bachelor degree and good score in cat or cmat. I gave cmat and got 94 percentile. In CAT anything above 80 percentile would work. Just need to crack the PI. We have a lot of quizzes in every semester along with mid term and end term. The difficulty level depends on the faculties and the level of understanding of that subject. For engineers, the statistical subjects were easier but they struggled a bit with accounting initially.
Admission:
Initially, applicants need to have a cat score greater than the 80 percentile. Then they need to apply through the college website and they will get GD/PI call if they are shortlisted. Once they clear the GD/PI process they will get admission. The overall process was smooth and hassle-free.
Admission:
I applied for Wellingker, MDI Murshidabad, IMT & IMI. The reason for not attending those colleges was that IFMR was the best option for me among all. The admission process was smooth and well-coordinated. It happened over a zoom call. The criteria for shortlisting were CAT/CMAT scores. The weightage was divided for academics, CAT/CMAT score, and Personal interview.
