What CAT percentile do I require to get calls from IIM Blackis, FMS, SP Jain, JBIMS and MDI Gurgaon?

For GEM, the CAT percentiles required to get an interview call from IIM Blackis, FMS, SP Jain, JBIMS, and MDI Gurgaon are ABC and FMS: Both institutes required nothing less than 99.5. Those who get admission at a lesser percentile, usually don’t belong to the GEM category. There are many who don’t even get a call with 99.3. So to stay on the safer side, go for nothing less than 99.5. IIM Indore and Kozhikode: Both the institutes require percentiles around 97.5 for an interview call SPJIMR: This Institute has unique selection criteria under which CAT is given less value and calls are issued on the basis of the candidate's profile. The CAT percentile required in this case is less than the normal if you have a good academic profile along with work experience, MDI: This institute issues calls around the 96% mark. It’s important to know that these figures are based on trends and not on actual data so you will find exceptions everywhere. Moreover, it’s better you don’t waste time analyzing the CAT cutoff and start preparing for the same.

How is IIM Calcutta for the advanced program in data science, 1 year certification course? Is it better than the ISB Hyderabad course and IIITB PGD in data analytics?

In my opinion, the IIM APDS is just an average course. ISB Hyderabad course is much better. It’s better to do Data Science courses from technical universities rather than Management colleges like IIM. Also, the IIM APDS course is quite expensive and more like a BA course than Data Science. It focuses more on Business Mathematics/ Business case study discussion than how to explore a data set. ISBs course best among these courses because it has all the things that are required: Brand Faculty Industry Connect Curriculum Alumni Also this course has more time for all the subjects and capstone projects too. The only drawback is the high fees.

What is the worst thing about IIM Calcutta?

One lesser-known fact about IIM Calcutta is the unhygienic conditions caused by the dirty lakes surrounding it. Mostly this truth is underestimated. But the reality is the pictures of the lakes at IIM Calcutta are misleading. They are nothing near surreal or beautiful. If anything they are the brooding ground of mosquitoes. Snakes and other poisonous creatures are also present here. Anyone who comes in contact with its water is bound to get skin infection or other ailments. These lakes have been used as a marketing element for IIM Calcutta and it’s shocking that people believe such lies.

Are the job profiles offered at MDI Gurgaon on par with IIMs like LIK, not ABC? How much effort does one have to put into his future to get on par with the IIM graduates if one graduate from there?

IIML is clearly superior to MDI in non-marketing specializations in terms of placement. However, IIM I, K, and MDI are generally equal in terms of placements, except for a few banks that specifically seek out the IIM tag at I&K. If you work equally hard at either campus and all other operational factors are constant, you will likely end up in a similar position whether you choose MDI or I or K. However, as mentioned before, IIML still has the edge and requires more effort if you're in the finance or consulting field. If you're interested in MDI, it's worth noting that recent placement reports show more and more prestigious finance and consulting companies are visiting the campus. This has helped MDI deliver well-rounded placements. So, if you're willing to put in the work, MDI could be a good option for you.

I’m a fresher. I have converted FMS Delhi. Got waitlisted at C with a bleak chance. Should I retry CAT for IIM Ahmedabad Calcutta or stick to FMS?

The overall rankings of FMS Delhi and IIM A/C are comparable (IIM A & C rank better than FMS in terms of placements and college life though). FMS has its own set of advantages, such as the best ROI in India and placements in the core Finance domain, among many others. You must have performed exceptionally well on CAT 201 to receive a call from FMS. Asking yourself the following questions will help you retake the CAT. What do you hope to gain from your post-graduation experience? Start a career at a high salary, get a brand name, or develop your own personality by staying and studying with the industrys best minds. Which field do you want to begin your career in? Consulting/core finance/marketing, for example. Are you willing to invest a year of your life to prepare for the CAT again, and are you confident of scoring 99+ percentile in 2019? The maximum amount of money you can afford to pay in fees.

I had a one backlog in graduation (cleared); will I get rejected in the IIM Calcutta interview?

No, IIM Calcutta does not usually reject you just because of a backlog in graduation provided that you have cleared it. Majority of the batch consists of students from top colleges like IIT,NIT,BIT, DTU, etc. Its very common for a large number of students if these colleges have at least one backlog. I have seen many cases where people receive calls from IIM Calcutta despite having repeated most of their courses. So no, a single backlog will not be a hindrance for your call from IIM Calcutta.

Can I make it to IIM A B or C if my 10 score is 93, 12 is 82 and grade is 73 and from a tier 3 college?

Your question basically means what criteria are required to get into IIM A B or C. The table below has summarized the different parameters that decide your eligibility for admission into IIM ABC. Particulars IIM Calcutta IIM Ahmedabad IIM Bangalore Academics Shortlisting-40% Final Selection-0% Shortlisting-30% Final Selection-15% Shortlisting-50% Final Selection-25% Worl Experience 8% (final selection) 5% (shortlisting) 8% (shortlisting) 10% (final selection) Gender/Academic Diversity 4% (shortlisting) 4% (final selection) 2% (shortlisting) Non-Engineers can get a call with low percentile also Now considering your profile, you need the following CAT score to get into IIM A B C IIM Ahmedabad: If you are a non-engineer you will get a call easily but if you are an engineer you will need work experience and at least 99.5+CAT score IIM Bangalore: You will need work experience to compensate for poor academic record or at least 100 percentile to get a call IIM Calcutta: you will need 98.8+ if you are a girl. For boys, it is around 99.6+.

After IIM Calcutta was started next IIM should have been started in Bombay which is Commercial capital of India but why it has been started in Ahmedabad?

The first two IIMs were supposed to be in Mumbai and Calcutta. While the land and approvals for Calcutta came relatively easily, the then-Mumbai state government refused to allot land for an IIM in Mumbai and acted rather casually. Meanwhile, Vikram Sarabhai, the driving force behind the IIMs concept, was eager to get the IIMs up and running as soon as possible. He was well known for his extensive business and political connections, but his entire industrial and research infrastructure was in Ahmedabad (in the then-newly created state of Gujarat). Vikram Sarabhai was so eager to get the IIM started in western India (one in the east and one in the west was the initial logic, which was followed by one in the south and one in the north as well) that he pulled all the strings for an IIM in Ahmedabad. For the first few years, IIMA was based in Vikram Sarabhais personal bungalow in Ahmedabads Shahi Baug area. He was also the driving force behind the recruitment of other IIMA legends, including Louis Kahn for the architectural plan, Kastoorbhai Lalbhai of Arvind Mills for the donation of all land for the campus, and the mesmerizing Ravi J. Matthai, the institutes first full-time director.

How much minimum CAT percentile do I need to get IIM Calcutta or IIM Lucknow if I have Xth 93, XIIth 73, and BTech 70, without any work experience?

IIM Calcutta distributes its components and assigns weights to them in order to generate category-wise shortlists for the PI and WAT stages. COMPONENTS WEIGHTAGE CAT Overall Score 28 Class Xth Marks 10 Class XIIth Marks 10 Gender Diversity Factor 2 Total 50 (A/B)*28 is the formula for calculating cat percentile weight. A = Total CAT score of the candidate B = CAT Maximum Score To be on the safe side, you should score higher than the 99.7 percentile. The following are the IIM Lucknow criteria for GD-PI shortlisting: COMPONENTS WEIGHTAGE CAT Scaled Score 60 Class XIIth Marks 10 Graduation Marks 10 Work - Experience 10 Academic Diversity 5 Gender Diversity 5 Total 100 Given your academic credentials, 98.7+ can get you the call. (85th percentile for sectional cutoff)

Is the EPBA program offered by IIM Calcutta considered as a master s diploma or simply a certification?

The EPBA program offered by IIM Calcutta is just a certification, but not the kind where you pay money to get a paper from an arbitrary organization. It requires a minimum of two years of experience, and he or she should be employed at the time of admission. IIM C will conduct the screening and selection. You should have a standardized test score, such as the GMAT, GRE, or CAT, that is above the 90th percentile. However, this is not required; it simply adds to your profile. The program discusses the methodologies and practices that are crucial for data analytics and their applicability in a number of functional areas, including marketing, finance, and operations. It is intended for those who require a managerial introduction to this discipline. Business analytics is concerned with quantitative analysis and predictive modeling in order to develop data-driven competitive strategies. Examples of analytics in action include businesses that use tools to find their most profitable clients, set the right price, hasten product innovation, improve supply chains, and pinpoint the real causes of financial performance, among other things. Some fundamental Principles are as follows: Certification from the countrys top business school. Studying with Indias top professors and business professionals. Boston University provided special contributions. Course Content that has been thoroughly researched and is up to date. A strict program structure with assessments for each course. Simulations and case studies. Earn while gaining a high-quality certification and improving your eligibility for better job profiles with a recognized certification. The alumni membership of IIMC is present globally, and has its own set of benefits for participants identity, brand value, and marketability.

Which is best -MBA in finance from ISB Hyderabad or top IIMS A/B/C?

Prakriti SharmaPGP from Indian School of Business (Graduated 2019)

ISB Hyderabad is known for its lack of specialization in Finance. It’s a common understanding now that even if one is preferring ISB Hyderabad for admission, they know that they should go for anything but Finance. Studying some aspects will give you a deeper insight as to why MBA in Finance from ISB Hyderabad is not recommended.

Faculty: Although the visiting faculty is quite decent, it’s the domestic faculty that has ruined the culture at ISB. They are arrogant, pathetic, and extremely incapable. They insult the students regularly and disturb student-teacher relations.

Placements: The roles offered in Finance were below average like Operations, Sales, and BD roles. Such roles were offered in abundance by the banks or start-ups. However, the superior roles like IB/PE/VC/M&A/FP&A/Equity Research/Credit Rating/Asset Management/TAS were offered scarcely. For instance

only 10 FP and A roles were allotted that too only to CAs
Only one Investment banking role was offered by Barclays
Only 5 PE/bc roles were offered and there was a strong preference for a prior IB/PE/VC experience and IIT undergraduate background.
One M and A role was offered only
4 Asset Management and zero Equity Research and Credit Rating roles were offered.

So the best roles were offered limitedly while the batch size stood at 900. Most students ended up with unsatisfactory placements. Now you can decide whether or not to join if you are confident to face the placement scenario.

Campus area	135 acre	102 acre	100 acre
City	The campus is located far away from the city so the students have limited access to the city. The weather of the city is extremely hot and humid.	The weather during the summers may get unbearable (since there’s no AC in some of the hostels)	Bengaluru is the startup hub of India. The campus is located in the heart of the city which gives the students a chance to explore the city and network.
Curriculum	core courses in the first year and elective courses in the second. The curriculum is also known to be more intense quantitatively	All courses are mandatory in the first year and the second year has all the elective courses.	IIM B offers a choice of 3 elective courses in the first year itself to prepare the students for the summer placements.
Specialization	Consulting (32%), Finance (17%) and General Management (16%)	Consulting (46%), Finance (16%) and Marketing (9.5%)	Consulting (36%), Product management (17%) and Finance (14%)
Culture	IIM- C has a complete opposite culture of homogeneity. Across the 3 IIMs, the closest knit family is that IIMC. IIMC is a classic example of common misery being the best binder of people. They are located outside the city, the climate is difficult, education is tough. This torrid environment of C brings in a culture of togetherness within C-ites.	IIMA is the perfect median between the other 2- it has a culture of clusters. IIMA people are not just achievers, but toppers throughout their lives, a trait that adds insecurity. This is why IIMA people have a very strong and lasting bond with a small group of people.	IIMB has a culture of heterogeneity. At B, each individual is an achiever by themselves. Unlike C, where students grow their social capital, at B, each student explores his/her individuality. There is no cluster of the students across any hostel block or class section. Each one is each one.
Dual degree	IIM C offers a double degree in association with ESCP Europe. Full placement support is offered to students opting for the dual degree by the institutes.	IIM Ahmedabad has double-degree programme agreement with about six International schools such as ESSEC Business School, HEC, University of Bocconi	IIM Bangalore has double-degree programme agreement with about three International schools such as ESCP Europe Business School), Bocconi University and Hitotsubashi University Business School

IIMC is the place to be in

Admission to IIMC is a two-stage process. Step 1 comprises clearing CAT which if done, Step 2 opens up where you are supposed to give PI. The college assigns mentors to all the shortlisted candidates for guidance across the entire admission process.

It was a PI process preceded by CAT. All the information was made available timely on the website and the admissions office coordinated the process flawlessly. The ER cell also provided mentors which were PGP students and were matched to our profile.
