IIM Bodh Gaya

A valid CAT score is very important for admission to the MBA course and it is based on the Cutoff criteria of the CAP round. The CAP round includes the admission process for 9 IIMs. If your CAT percentile is above the specified cutoff then you will receive a mail from CAP host IIM and your WAT-PI will be scheduled. Once the PIs are done for all the candidates, the 9 IIMs will individually release their shortlists and waitlists on their respective websites for all the eligible candidates. You must constantly check their websites if you're placed in a waitlist and once you are shortlisted you need to book your seat by paying designated admission fees.

The course curriculum is designed as per the industry requirements and the institute tries to update its curriculum every year as per the changing requirements and also based on student feedback. The exams were a mix of both theory and case-based questions.

A 2 months internship is compulsory as it is included in the grading system and credits are allocated to it just like the other subjects. A good number of companies visit the campus for internship placements and offer paid internships as per their requirements.

All the students become eligible for campus placements in the 4th term or the beginning of the 2nd year. The placements were pretty decent and a good number of companies visited the campus for final placements. The highest number of offers were made in the BFSI sector. The average CTC was above 16 lacs.

The fee structure is designed for the entire 2 years duration. It is split into 6 parts for the 6 terms spanning over the 2 years. If you opt for a bank loan, then your bank has to release term fees as per the schedule provided by the institute.

The were multiple events hosted by various clubs and committees throughout the year and Elegante was the annual event which was hosted by the contribution of all clubs and committees together.

For my batch there were no group discussions, the personal interviews were conducted in an online mode. The panelists asked me questions regarding my work experience, some personality-based questions, and some questions to understand my future prospects. They also asked me some technical questions about civil engineering due to my graduation in that field.
