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.
What is my possibility to get into IIM Bangalore with academic records of 96% in 10th, 76.6% in 12th, 8.2 CGPA in graduation, and 99.8 percentile in the CAT?
The first and foremost step before trying to get into IIM Bangalore or any institute is to analyze if you are sure about pursuing MBA after enough thought and determination.
After this comes the criteria part. As far as the criteria are concerned IIM Bangalore has the following criteria for shortlisted candidates
-
- Past academic score: 50% weightage (20% 10th class, 10%12th class, and 20% graduation)
- Work experience: 8% weightage (preferably 3 yrs and above)
- Gender diversity: 2%
- CAT score: 40% weightage, In my opinion, your academic score is below average. So to compensate for that you need enough work experience of around 3 years.
If you are a CAT aspirant don’t let these rigid parameters demotivate you. Study hard and achieve a very high CAT score, gain work experience if you haven’t, and leave the rest to luck.
What would you prefer from IIM-A, B, C, and XLRI Jamshedpur for management courses?
All four are the best, most renowned, highly established business schools in the country. Though to be a part of one of them will be dependent on various factors
Order of choice (highest to lowest)
- Peer group: All of them give you a network of the sharpest and brightest minds, so all in the same boat.
- Culture: IIM C, XLRI, IIM B & A tie at the same spot (personal opinion completely).
- Location: Depends from person to person, so this is a ranking you'll have to do for yourself.
- Specialization: Depends on what specialization you're looking for. IIM Ahmedabad gives you the best for Consulting, IIM Calcutta for finance.
- Gut feeling: This is again, very personal, depending on what your dream college was when you started out.
- Other criteria like packages, internships, fees, etc. won't be a differentiation in these because all of them would give you very similar job profiles, and CTC and have marginally different fees.
Ultimately, the institution that you choose should align with your career goals and aspirations. It's important to research and compare each institution carefully before making a decision.
Which new IIM (Udaipur, Ranchi, Raipur, Rohtak, Trichy and Kashipur) has the potential to join the league of ABC in future? Why?
Comparing the new IIMs with the IIM ABC is rather ridiculous and not justified. Considering factors like infrastructure, faculty, and alumni base, the top IIMs are way ahead of the new ones. Even if the new IIMs tackle the infrastructure and faculty issue they can never match the extraordinarily strong alumni base of the older IIMs. The IIMs A, B, and C have given birth to many geniuses that have contributed largely to Indian society in various fields like arts, literature, sports, etc. They have even made impressions globally.
No matter how fast the new IIMs climb up the ladder and excel, they will never be able to match the alumni base and worth of older IIMs.
What kind of roles do Google, and Facebook hire from management institutes like IIM Ahmedabad IIM Bangalore, and IIM Calcutta?

It is determined by the state of the economy, the requirements, and the campus-Google relationship. The project manager position is more desirable than the marketing position.

All of these candidates will be based in the United States or London. GE Capital and Baring Private Equity are two other recruiters.
