Admission:

Actually I didn't apply for any other college. I applied to NIBM only and got in. The reason I opted this college is because of the Course they are providing. I have always intrigued by the finance world. Also Banking and Finance are backbone of any country. NIBM is an Institute established of RBI so it speaks volume about the quality of education they must be providing. Also I talked to few of the students who were already here even they recommended it highly. So I felt confident about NIBM & went for it. Admission process: I came through CMAT, but you can also opt for this college via CAT, XAT & GRE. Cut off is 94 %ile (CAT, XAT, GRE) & 98.5%ile (CMAT). After clearing the cut off you have to sit for Extempore and PI. Once you clear all these levels then only you get a chance in NIBM.

I have applied to the Institute of Financial Management and Research Chennai, goa institute of management, great lakes institute of management Chennai,welingkar Mumbai and Bangalore etc. I have not availed any quota because there is not any quota available for students till last year but this year they are providing reservations according to Indian govt rules. Criteria for securing admission into the National Institute of Bank Management is very complex. First, the candidate needs to clear the entrance exam like CAT / XAT / CMAT ..Cut off for the Cat/xat/cmat were 80/80/95 till last year but this year cut off was changed due to the new reservation policy of the college. After clearing the cutoff Candidate need to appear for the Group discussion round and personal interview round.
