Can you join IIM Bangalore after a B.Com with no work experience?
Yes, IIMs do have a certain intake of freshers every year. Anyone without work experience can try their luck at OIM Bangalore as 20-3O% of the batch comprises freshers. The reason for such an intake of freshers is that Recruiters from the Marketing and Finance sectors usually prefer a fresher given the nature of the jobs and roles offered. In the Marketing sector, you have to first go through Sales roles which are suitable for a fresher only. Even in Finance, the roles require a lot of working hours which might not be possible for someone with good work experience. Unless you have worked Sales/Marketing or have CA/CFA, recruiters prefer freshers only for such jobs.
This rule is applied somewhat similarly to other IIMs also the only difference being the weightage given to different criteria.
If you are a fresher with average academic records, then switch to IIM Calcutta because Bangalore focuses a lot on academic performance and this might lower your chances of admission.
When you have done an MBA in IT from IIM Bangalore, what was your salary package?
Fundamentally, IIM Bangalore does not usually provide a specialized MBA to its students. That clearly translates to the IIM courses strictly providing generalist MBA.
