To get into IIM you need to take a CAT entrance exam. The minimum required percentage is 80% for the ST, SC, and 99% and above for the General category. The application form is available on the internet from September to October and the exam is held at the end of November. The application fees for ST, SC, and OBC categories are 1000/- and that of the general category is more than 2000/-. For the reservation category, there are benefits of a little lesser application fee and a lower percentage required to enter a college but the seats are limited for them. The exam is mostly held on Sundays, and timings are also convenient as it has 3 shifts of 7-10 am, 11-2 pm, and 3-6 pm. If study hard and work on the core subjects that come in exam can ace the exam. The duration of getting the results and then for interviews has a long gap, which needs to be shortened.

The interview questions were like this- Tell me about yourself, Why did you opt for an MBA, and why IIM, Based on the framed answer further questions were asked, like what are the things that are famous in Odisha? The process and criteria are first college selection mails, sit for interviews, and then based on the answers after a month or 15 days results are sent to people who are selected. I prepared from Youtube and gave various GD's and mock interviews to improve my flumberness.
