Got a call from IIM-Rohtak, so should I presume I'll get calls from all new IIMs? Also, what are my chances converting it?

Yes, there is high chance that you will be getting calls from most of the newer IIMs if not all. However, based on your profile it won’t be easy to get into an IIM. You might have to work extra hard for your PI round. 

Prepare for the interview by availing of some professional help. The competitions for IIMs are tough and should not be underestimated. One excellent way to prepare for your interview is going through interview experiences on Pagal Guy. It provides elaborate interview experiences of converted calls. You may also join the mentorship program at new IIMs.

Can I get admission to IIM Calcutta with an 80 in 10th, 99.85 in 12th, and 98 in graduation?

AA
Apoorva Aditya Posted On : December 26th, 2022
Knows something about CAT

IIM Calcutta focuses on CAT rather than 10th/12th/graduation to give you PI calls. Then, during the selection stage, IIM C prioritizes PI performance over all other factors. So, without a doubt, your academic results are excellent and will aid you in the admissions process (though relatively low). So, if you want to get into IIM C for MBA, you should focus on getting a higher CAT percentile and excellent PI preparation and performance. 

If you have academic or gender diversity work experience, or if you are from the EWS/PwD/NC-OBC/SC/ST category, the process will be sped up.

Sir, today IIM Kozhikode released the second list and as per that the movement of EWS stands 0. Does there still stand any chance to get a convert at WL 26 under EWS?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : June 2nd, 2023

The trend has it that the waitlist movement for IIM Kozhikode can go till 100 so there are healthy chances of conversion at WL 26. Most of the IIMs and other B-Schools that par with or better than IIM K have not released their merit lists. Once that is done, the waitlist movement is supposed to gain momentum. You can expect 0-5 movement in the next few lists but hang tight. 26 is a convertible waitlist number.

Which course should I choose between IIML ABM, SPJAIN IM and IIM Shillong PGP?

HA
Himank Agarwal Posted On : January 16th, 2023
Knows about CAT and MBA in general. CAT'21 99.6

No matter which B School you choose, PGP is always a better choice than ABM. But there might be a specific reason why you got an ABM offer rather than a PGP. But at IIM Lucknow, students of both programs are offered equal opportunities. These include final placements. summer placements and subsequent PPOs. 

The major drawback of ABM is that you are deprived of the PGP electives and can cover ABM electives only. These electives cover strategy marketing and operations. 

Talking about your offer from SP JAIN for IM, let me tell you that in this regard, IIM Shillong is a much better choice. Its campus in Dubai is a testament to its worth.

What are my chances of getting into ISB Hyderabad or Mohali?

AW
Ankur Warikoo Posted On : February 8th, 2023
MBA Marketing, Indian School of Business (2018)

Firstly it's not up to you to choose Hyderabad or Mohali. You can just apply to ISB and the campus is allotted on the basis of a strange algorithm.

Now coming back to the question of your chances of getting into ISB, it seems I know nothing about your profile. I will state some general points regarding ISB Hyderabad admissions 

  • The first and foremost requirement is entrance exams like GMAT and GRE. The average is around 710 for GMAT and 325 for GRE.
  • You need a minimum of 2 years of work experience 
  • You require and Letter of Recommendation and introspective essays
  • You need to feel a comprehensive application form that attracts the judges

More than work experience, the quality of your work and achievements matter more. While writing the essays mention the unique qualities and roles you have fulfilled in life.

I have 10-78%,12-74% and graduation-49.78%. I also have 30 months of work in my family business.Can I still have a chance of fetching a call from XLRI Jamshedpur through XAT if I score more than 99.5?

MC
Manyata Cheda Posted On : June 2nd, 2023
Studied at XLRI Jamshedpur

Though 30 months of work experience will add value to your MBA journey, XAT gives only 15 % for your academics and work experience. The chances of getting a call at this percentile is pretty high but it would also depend on your sectional cutoff; XAT usually gives a high weightage to your decision making score. 

XAT eligibility criteria do not require any minimum percentage in your undergraduate to appear in the exam but if you do get the interview call, the panel might ask you questions about the low score in your graduation. Make sure you give the honest answer but try to be smart with it. They are always looking for answers that show your potential and how you cna present even the worst things about your CV in a positive way.

What exam do I have to give to be eligible for admission in LUVAS Hisar in a BVSc course in the 85 reserved state quota?

AV
Aniket Verma Posted On : October 16th, 2021
BVSc. & A.H. from Madras Veterinary College, Chennai (2024)

Since last year, i.e 2020, LUVAS Hisar has not conducted any separate exam for admission in BVSc course. You just have to appear for the NEET exam and be sure to crack it well. 

They decide the cut-off based on your NEET marks and the number of students who appear for the exam that apply in LUVAS. All the admission seats- be it the 85% State Quota seats or the 15% VCI All India seats- require the same criteria for it to be successful, i.e NEET marks. Even the counselling will take place separately for the State Quota and All India VCI Quota.

I have been selected at Great Lakes, TAPMI, IRMA and IIT -BHU, KJ Somaiya (MBA - HCM). Which one should I take? I am totally confused.

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : April 29th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

First of all, congratulations on your acceptances to these colleges. Great Lakes would be the best option for you if you’re interested in a one-year MBA program, especially in the IT domain, given the current COVID situation. If you’re interested in rural management instead, IIRMA is considered the best program for that specialization.

I would advise against choosing IIT-BHU and recommend KJ Somaiya only if you’re specifically interested in pursuing an MBA in HCM. TAPMI would be the best choice for someone looking for a general MBA program without a specific interest in any of the specialized areas mentioned above.
