It all starts with U at IIMU

MBA focuses on the all-round development of an individual, and hence I choose to pursue this course. MBA is not limited to just studies, it focuses on various other elements, such as soft skills, cultural activities, etc, for healthy growth. Faculty members also push students beyond their limits for each one of us to have a transformational journey of 2 years. The faculty is highly knowledgeable and qualified, belonging to prestigious universities all over the world and in India. In addition to being available after class hours, they are heavily research-oriented and expect the same from the students. They have high knowledge of the industry and the academic world than you would typically require. In addition to the abundant resources the college provides, the faculty also helps you to choose your career path and take action to achieve the same. The exams are very easy and the evaluation is done generously by the professors.

I took CAT'21 and cleared it with a 96.8 percentile. The cutoff varies with gender, background, workex, etc. However, a minimum of 95v percentile is necessary to make it through for people with no reservations. The admission process is pretty simple and straightforward. CAT form is made available in due time, and gives enough time for students to fill it Initially you might find the form to be difficult and complicated, but once you start you see that the form is very easy to fill. An important thing to keep in mind is to fill all details in the form correctly as later on no changes can be made and sometimes wrong details can be the reason for you not making it into the next round.

My GD for CAP colleges was conducted in an online mode, with eight members in my group having three moderators. The topic of the GD was "Robots and AI would replace humans in an organization." The time for GD was 15 mins, with 10 mins for discussion, 2 min to prepare, and 3 mins to sum up the discussion. The only way to prepare for GDs is to practice and read current articles that would increase your knowledge base. Also, a tip would be to start the GD as that brings out your various skills, and never to cut anyone while one is making their point. For PI it is important to be thorough with HR questions and any hiccup in that is never tolerated.
