What are the differences between an older IIM like Indore and Kozhikode and a newer IIM like Ranchi, Rohtak, or Trichy?
The first-generation IIMs clearly have many advantages over the second and third-generation IIMs. Some major differences include
- Infrastructure: Thenodler IIMs have their own permanent campuses whereas most of the newer IIMs either function through a temporary campus or have a permanent campus that is not at par with the older IIMs.
- Faculty: The older IIMs have better experienced and learned faculty than the newer ones. Also, the visiting faculty is much better at these IIMs. The student and faculty strengths are therefore strong here.
- Placements: The older IIMs have long-standing ties with corporate firms and top companies excelling in the placements scenario and leaving behind the new IIMs.
- Corporate Exposure: The exposure at older IIMs is better than that of newer IIMs due to their early establishment.
What are the chances of converting IIM Kozhikode with a 450 waitlist in NC OBC?
The chances are pretty dim since the past trends show that the NC OBC waitlist movement went till 400 and although last year it went on till 480, to be on the safer side make some back up plans.
You need to realize that waitlist movement is reliant on so many factors. It's simple maths; IIMs have nearly 5000 seats and BLACKI is the first 5 choices of almost all the students.
We all know that the selection process for admission to the IIMs is rigorous and only a small fraction of students convert their first preference in the first shortlist and where do you think the remaining students are at for the time being? They take admission in their backup colleges and IIMK is a popular choice among top percenters, so you need to wait patiently but don’t anticipate too eagerly.
