Yuvraj Manrai's Review On IMT - Institute Of Management Technology, Ghaziabad

I applied to ISB, XIMB, SPIMR, and IMT, but I got an admission call only from IMT. I chose to apply to IMT because of its strong alumni network. I believe I got rejected from the other colleges because of my academic performance during undergrad. So, one can either write CAT, GMAT, or XAT to be able to apply to IMT. Most of the students take the CAT or XAT. The cutoff percentile For CAT and XAT floats around 90-95%. I got into IMT through GMAT. After I applied, I got a call from the college for a personal interview which was held in Bangalore. There were other locations as well for the interview but I chose Bangalore since it was the most convenient. The interview went really well and I heard back from the college after a month about my admission....Read More

The other colleges I applied to were, all IIMs, MDI, XLRI, FORE, IMI. I had confirmed admissions from IMT-G, FORE, IMI, IIM-CAP except IIM Udaipur and was waitlisted in MDI. I had to choose between IIM Raipur and IMT Ghaziabad in the end and I ended up choosing IMT because my parents didn’t want to send me too far away, and because I reside in Delhi, staying in Ghaziabad was very convenient. I did her rejected from old IIMs because I couldn’t clear the percentile cut off, got rejected from XLRI-BM programme because I didn’t perform at par in the interview. The admission process of IMT is pretty convenient. We can get in through multiple different exams such as CAT, XAT or GMAT. The course most preferred here is PGDM Marketing and we have great faculty for every course in the college....Read More

I chose IMT as it was a renowned name especially for marketing course. 1.The placements were decent for a college which is not in top 15 colleges of the country. 2. Good Alumni network with college legacy extending to over 40 years. 3. College being placed in the metro city provides good opportunity for industry connect which was a problem with few of the other newer IIM's. Other colleges that I applied to 1. Applied to IIIM's, XLRI, XIMB, Symbiosis colleges and NMIMS. Cat score wasn't good enough to get calls from most of the IIM's. Gave interview for XLRI HR, didn't convert. Converted XIMB but chose IMT over it. Admission process of IMT 1. CAT/XAT/GMAT test. 2. Writing test of 10 minutes where you get a topic on spot and need to write 300 odd words on the same. 3. Personal Interview round....Read More

I got confirmed admissions from Great Lakes, SIBM Bengaluru. I chose IMT G instead of the other two colleges for two primary reasons. The first one was that I wanted to enroll in a 2-year course, and Great Lakes was offering a 1-year course. So, Despite the average package of both colleges being similar, I chose IMT. Secondly, IMT G was closer to my home(Delhi) as compared to SIBM Bengaluru. So I didn't choose SIBM Bengaluru. I did my preparation with my job. So, I had limited time. But I still feel that I wasted a lot of time. If I had utilized my time a little better, I would have gotten into one of the top IIMs. Also, I focused more on quants as compared to DILR and VARC. Though I did score 99.7 in quants, I could not score as high in the other 2 sections....Read More

I had applied to KJ Somaiya, SIIB and IMT Ghaziabad, and got admission offers from all. However I chose IMT because of its reputation as a Mecca for Marketing and after being able to talk some alumni of the institute who passed out earlier. The only college I was technically rejected from was NMIMS as I did not make the cutoff for a GDPI. For IMT Ghaziabad, you could apply via CAT or XAT, I got in via CAT. This was followed by the CTPI Process which was a critical thinking written paragraph based on a relatively prevalent topic followed by a Personal Interview. To my knowledge most people got in via CAT although that is more basis conversations I have had with people and not any empirical data to support the same. The overall admission process was pretty smooth, right from document verification during the CTPI to hostel allocation, we knew what all documents to bring at what time with no last minute revision to the documents required section....Read More

IMT accepts CAT, XAT and GMAT to get in you have to have a 90 percentile above in either CAT or XAT and then you wake it yo the written assessment and personal interview round. I scored decently in XAT and made it to the WAPI round, my experience giving my imt interview was extremely exciting yet overwhelming but after I was done with my interview I had this feeling that I'll make it to this college and that's what ended up happening. I applied to IIMs but I didn't get a call from any of them, and others included GIM, IMI, symbiosis bangalore, TAPMI, KJ Somaiya I wasn't rejected from any of the colleges I applied to I was either wait listed or offered admission. I chose IMT because of the legacy that this institute holds the quality of learning it provides, the networking opportunity it presents and the doors that it will open for me be it networking, placements or short term projects ...Read More
