What are the prospects of pursuing an MBA in Marketing from IIMs, JBIMS, XLRI, MICA, or SIBM, with poor academics, and how can one compensate for the same?
Your poor academic record can be a major hindrance, especially in summer placements because the companies know you haven’t done anything major yet in the B School. So I will suggest you some tips that might help you compensate for your low 12th class marks and get you a good internship offer
- Enroll in an online course as this might be a major topic of discussion in the interview. It should preferably be an advanced version of your current course or a unique course.
- Get involved in volunteer work at NGOs. This will not only prove to be beneficial during your interview but also will help you become a part of social service committees on campus.
- Master a new language preferably French, Mandarin or Spanish as this may increase your chances of getting International placement or foreign exchange.
- Look for internships that offer practical knowledge for a short period of time.
As far as the Final Placements are concerned, you will have to improve your profile to attract the best recruiters. Some tips to improve your general profile are
- Rather than focusing on your past academics, focus on the new phase of your life and give your best
- Go for courses that offer live projects as recruiters highly prefer such exposure. Sometimes even the on-campus committees offer such live projects. Many times the winners of such projects get amazing PPOs or cash prizes.
- Joining a good on-campus committee is beneficial not only in maintaining a good campus life but also improving your overall profile. You get amazing exposure by interacting with industry professionals in the corporate world during events and conferences.
- If you are skilled at writing, do the same for business magazines or websites.
All this will help you make the most out of your MBA experience and also improve your profile enough to attract the best placement offers. The only key is to work hard relentlessly.

When do the major B-schools (IIMS, XLRI, FMS, MDI, SPJAIN, NMIMS, SIMB, IMT) generally conduct interviews and till when do the final admissions take place?
The majority of business school interviews take place between February and April, though some may extend into May. Each B-School maintains a one-month window for GD-PI. Interviews are typically completed by mid-April.

These business schools typically accept students until the end of the first month of the semester to fill seats vacated by students transferring to other colleges.
How do I prepare for case discussion and personal interview process to get admission in the MBA program for NMIMS mumbai?
One of my friends has recently been in the interview session at NMIMS Mumbai and can explain it better. Here is what he has to say,
- The Group Discussion (GD) at NMIMS Mumbai is usually quite similar to the Case Discussion pattern.
- The only difference between them is that, in Case of Discussions, you will generally be given a scenario or situation where you will need to justify, analyze and evaluate possible solutions and later come up with the most suitable answer, while in Group Discussions, you are usually allotted a topic to discuss.
- The best possible way to prepare your problem-solving skills is to practice in groups of about 10 to 15 people.
For the Personal Interview Session, you should usually follow these:
- You must read as much as you can about the course you are about to go for.
- The current social and economical issues are mostly following up in and across India.
- The various economic sectors and their effects.
- The latest schemes and policies adopted by the government and their general effects.
- If you possibly have planned your specialization, you should undeniably know and read more about it.
- Prepare certain general questions, such as the introduction, why you are going for an MBA, and why have you considered pursuing a particular specialization among many others.
