XLRI Jamshedpur has around 15% weightage for academics and Work Experience. So, there is a high chance that if your XAT Score and GD go extremely well, you might convert the call.

The table below shows the weightage at XLRI:

How do I get into the colleges specifically JBIMS (Mumbai) and PUMBA (Pune) for MBA?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : April 28th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

JBIMS and PUMBA are one of the top MBA colleges in Maharashtra. The national-level entrance exams accepted at JBIMS for admission are MAHCET, CMAT, CAT, and GMAT. 

In addition to this, the college also considers the Common Entrance Test/ CET/ PET/ NET/ SET/ GRF for admission to different courses followed by Group Discussion and Personal Rounds for the final selection of students. 

While the Department of Management Sciences (PUMBA), Savitribai Phule Pune University offers a number of full-time UG, PG and doctoral-level courses in the field of Management. Known for its flagship two-year full time MBA programme, this department also offers a two-year E-MBA and MBA Pharma Biotech at PG level. 

PUMBA MBA admissions for Maharashtra candidates are subject to a valid score in MAH CET exam conducted by DTE Maharashtra. However, for outside Maharashtra candidates, a valid score in CMAT/ CAT/ MAH CET works well.

Is it preferable and possible to do a CFA along with an MBA in Finance if I take admission in IIM Bodh Gaya?

PT
Pragya Tripathi Posted On : February 9th, 2023
MBA in Management, Indian Institute of Management Bodh Gaya (Graduated 2022)

It is possible to pursue the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) certification in conjunction with an MBA degree from IIM Bodh Gaya, as well as other certifications such as Financial Risk Manager (FRM), Financial Modeling and Valuation Analyst (FMVA), Certified Business Continuity Analyst (CBCA), Certified Market Surveillance Analyst (CMSA), National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM), and National Stock Exchange's Certification in Financial Markets (NCFM).

Whether or not it is preferable to pursue the CFA certification alongside an MBA in Finance is a matter of personal preference. Like other IIMs, IIM Bodh Gaya has a rigorous curriculum and pedagogy. If you are able to make time outside of committee and club activities and studies and are willing to sacrifice some sleep, pursuing these certifications can greatly enhance your resume and increase your marketability in the job market. However, it is also a high-risk, high-reward decision. Even if you do not pursue these certifications, IIM Bodh Gaya will still provide you with attractive job offers if you put in the effort.
