What do I have to do to get a call from SP Jain or XIMB?

MJ
Manu Jha Posted On : March 13th, 2023
PGDRM, PRM38 from Institute of Rural Management, Anand

My answer will be strictly pertaining to SP Jain as my sister is a student there and I have quite a lot of information about the admission criteria there. SP Jain has unique criteria wherein almost 70% of the parameters are uncontrollable. Some of them include 

  • Past Academic Record
  • Nature of work experience and employee brand value 
  • Extracurricular background 
  • Diversity of profile

These are some factors that are hardly in one’s control. So one should not be disappointed if she/he lacks in these aspects. Well, it is now that the factors that are controllable come into the picture. You can work on these factors and compensate for the flaws in your profile 

  • Prepare for CAT/XAT/GMAT to the best of your ability.
  • Filling out the application form with a genuine portrayal of your personality and candidature in the fields where you are asked about your versatility, leadership quality etc.

If the stars align, you will surely get a call. From what I have heard, every PGDM batch has students with both exception profiles as well as normal profiles. So what you need to focus on is finding a unique trait of yourself and working on it relentlessly.

What are my chances of getting into NMIMS Mumbai with a 1900 merit number?

AD
Anuraag Das Posted On : May 19th, 2023
Studied at MBA from NMIMS (2020)

The exam pattern for NMAT has been modified, and the cut-off is not predictable until the level of questions is known. There is very little waitlist movement in NMIMS Mumbai and it is difficult to convert with a 1900 merit number. However, there are other campuses that you can consider.

You can take another attempt at NMAT this year and try to perform better in the CDPI rounds, which have a considerable impact on the merit rank.

Can a student with average academic records get an admission in IIM, Calcutta?

AC
Apratim Chatterjee Posted On : December 12th, 2022
Studied at Indian Institute of Management, Udaipur

Academic records for sure are extremely crucial for your admission criteria. But they are not the only basis for determining one’s capabilities and qualifications.

Many times there are instances wherein people with high academic scores like 97%, 98%, and 99% fail to get admission into IIM Calcutta. This is because they are good at academics but lack communication and other crucial skills. One posed with out-of-the-box questions or asked to communicate efficiently they face serious problems. The interview panel at once realized that the person is not fit for admission.

In many other cases, people with average academic records get into IIM Calcutta. This is because, despite low scores, they exhibit exceptionally good communication skills and think more creatively. The interview panel realizes that academic scores can be the main but not the only deciding factor for admission. One needs skills to get into IIM Calcutta. The recruiters prefer a dynamic, vibrant, and hardworking student and worker rather than a bookworm. 

So rather than worrying about your average scores, just upgrade your skills and prepare well for the interview.

Admission to IIMU is a three-step selection process. Firstly, interested candidates are required to appear for CAT Examination. The qualified candidates have to further take part in CAP consisting of Personal Appearance process (PI)

  • Work Experience: 9%
  • Diversity: 7%

Academic profile

  • Class 10th Marks: 2%

Comparing the above data with your profile derive the following conclusions 

  • Your work experience will fetch you 9 marks
  • You CAT score is very good and increases your chances of admission 
  • Unless you are a female, you will be getting no marks in diversity and only 0.4 for graduation.

But I believe your work experience and excellent CAT score can compensate for your low UG marks. So ace in the PA process and you are good to go.
