If I got a call from NMIMS Mumbai but could not clear the GDPI, do I still have a chance to join NMIMS Bangalore or Hyderabad?

AG
Asutose Ghose Posted On : May 23rd, 2023
studied BBA (Finance), NMIMS, 2016

Generally, NMIMS Mumbai has a higher cut-off score than other NMIMS branches i.e., Bangalore and Hyderabad. NMAT score of 245 must have helped you get a call for an interview from NMIMS Mumbai. 

Even if you could not convert NMIMS Mumbai, if you would have opted for Bangalore and Hyderabad then there is a chance to get a convert from them as well. Keep track of the waitlist movement. A shorter waitlist will ensure a seat in these B-schools. And Also get in touch with seniors and alumni of the college to get an idea of the waitlist movement.

The career growth opportunities after completing the PGDM program ultimately depend on the individual's effort and performance.
