What are the chances of getting into IBS Hyderabad with a 71.1 percentile score after GD PI?
Technically speaking, you need at least 87 percentile to make it into IBS Hyderabad. Although I have seen someone get in even with a 76 percentile, you should know that the chances are extremely low. This is because the students who get selected initially sometimes leave after getting offers from other B Schools like Great Lakes, NMIMS or FORE that are more convenient for them. This in turn empties several seats and candidates with a lower percentile who set ISB Hyderabad as the first preference get a chance to get admission. Even if you are unable to make it into Hyderabad, try for the Mumbai campus.
Does ISB Hyderabad accept final years for the YLP program, or only pre-final years?
Yes, ISB Hyderabad accepts final-year students for the YLP program. This program is also known as the Deferred program.
Like any other admission, this program also grants access to the MBA program. The only exception is that this admission is granted 2 years in advance. So it’s suitable for students who are still in college. The reason for giving 2 years time is to make sure that the students work and gain experience for 2 years. Only then will he be officially eligible for the ISB Hyderabad MBA program.
Eligibility
Anyone who is in their final year of study can apply for this program. These include
- Candidates from bachelor's degree programs
- Candidates from joint bachelor/graduate degree programs
- Candidates from graduate degree programs who have not held a full-time work position.
Admission Process
The admission process for the YLP program requires the candidate to have
- GMAT/GRE score
- IELTS/ TOEFL (only in case your native language is not English)
- 2 Letters of Recommendation (1 from an academic instructor and 1 from your employer)
- Your current updated resume
- Statement of Purpose
The candidates who are successfully screened through the above process are invited for a personal interview that is either offline or online via Skype. Once you complete both rounds successfully, you are granted pre-admission to ISB Hyderabad.
Can I get selected at IIM Ahmedabad if I got less in 10 and 99%ile in the CAT?
The uniqueness of IIM Ahmedabad lies in the fact that it does consider low CAT scores also unlike other IIMs. One of my brother's friends got selected even with a percentage of 87 because of his experience as a law professional. However, the case is different for engineering students. IIMA gives less preference to them.
So I suggest you, being a BCOM student, get a good job, gain experience in the field and then pursue MBA when you have a better experience.
How is the B.Sc. psychology department of Bethune College? Can I get admission if my rank is 40 and there are 13 seats?
Yes, you can get admission in B.Sc Psychology at Bethune College as a number of students leave their seats for better colleges. You can then try to get a seat during the second, third or fourth cut-off list.
Bethune College has highly qualified faculty members but the classes are not conducted regularly. Sometimes they even fail to complete the syllabus. But if we ignore these flaws, they are quite brilliant as educators.
If you're joining this college, make sure you can study by yourself because you will not get constant attention from teachers. Bethune College will provide you with a better experience. In Bethune, you will develop both academically and holistically. Overall it is a great institution to be a part of.
Got a call from IIM-Rohtak, so should I presume I'll get calls from all new IIMs? Also, what are my chances converting it?
Yes, there is high chance that you will be getting calls from most of the newer IIMs if not all. However, based on your profile it won’t be easy to get into an IIM. You might have to work extra hard for your PI round.
Prepare for the interview by availing of some professional help. The competitions for IIMs are tough and should not be underestimated. One excellent way to prepare for your interview is going through interview experiences on Pagal Guy. It provides elaborate interview experiences of converted calls. You may also join the mentorship program at new IIMs.
Can I get a call from KJ Somaiya with a 213 score of NMAT?
The cut-off score for KJ Somaiya Institute of Management Studies and Research (KJSIMSR) varies each year and depends on various factors such as the difficulty level of the NMAT exam, the number of test takers, and the number of seats available. Apart from NMAT the institute also considers CAT/CMAT/XAT/GMAT scores as well.
In recent years, the cut-off for KJ Somaiya has been around 95 percentiles, in percentile terms which in score terms is around 210-215 for the NMAT exam. So, with a score of 213, you have a chance of getting a call from KJ Somaiya, but it ultimately depends on the number of applicants who have scored higher than you.
It's also important to note that the final selection process at KJ Somaiya includes a group discussion (GD) and personal interview (PI), in addition to the NMAT score. So, your performance in these stages will also play a significant role in the final selection decision.
Can I get admission to IIM Calcutta with an 80 in 10th, 99.85 in 12th, and 98 in graduation?
IIM Calcutta focuses on CAT rather than 10th/12th/graduation to give you PI calls. Then, during the selection stage, IIM C prioritizes PI performance over all other factors. So, without a doubt, your academic results are excellent and will aid you in the admissions process (though relatively low). So, if you want to get into IIM C for MBA, you should focus on getting a higher CAT percentile and excellent PI preparation and performance.
If you have academic or gender diversity work experience, or if you are from the EWS/PwD/NC-OBC/SC/ST category, the process will be sped up.
