Hello Neha

FMS give higher weightage to Verbal sectional scores (40%VA, 30 for QA & DILR).Since FMS have also weightage for 10th and 12th scores and CAT weightage is reduced to 60% now your acds and GDPI will play a important role for Convert.

9/15 in PI round to convert in the last stages of the admission process.

Placement record of BHU FMS is about 95%. More than 3 dozen companies had come to visit the campus for placement last year. 90+ students  applied and they got about 70 offers. The highest salary which student got in late year was about 15 lakh rupees per annum. And average salary was about 7 lakh rupees per annum.

Hello Sarthak,
Hope you are doing well.
To get calls from top three IIMs which are IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore and IIM Calcutta and FMS Delhi, you need to score above 99 percentile.

Yes, both academic profile and work experiences are a part of the shortlisting criteria but, you need to maintain a minimum of required CAT percentile for expecting calls from these colleges, as these are the top four B-schools in India.

Hope the information is helpful to you !
All the best!
Thank-you!

Hello,

The cutoff percentile for IIMs and old management institutions like FMS Delhi ranges over 99 percentile.  New IIMs like IIM Sambalpur, IIM Ranchi require 90 percentile as their eligibility criteria. The cutoff is decided on the basis of following points :

1. Exam difficulty
2. Number of test giving candidates
3. Number of candidates who qualify the exam
4. Total count of seats
5. Ranking of the institutes

Mrigank, a score of 145 is really good for CAT 2019 and although we cannot accurately estimate the percentile until the official data is released, your score is expected to lie between 97 to 98 percentile. Also, you also have a stellar past academic performance.

FMS calls students above 94-95 percentile in OBC category for the next rounds. For IIMs, Ahmedabad might have a slightly higher cutoff and Bangalore prefers some work experience. Other than that, you can easily get a call from IIM Calcutta, Kozhikode, Lucknow and Indore as they expect a 95-96+ percentile and you also clear their 10th, 12th and graduation marks cutoff.

So you can expect calls from most of these institutes. You can start preparing for the further rounds- GD, PI, WAT- as differs from college to college since they also carry significant weightage in your final selection. All the best.

Hello Aspirant ,

Sorry to tell you but getting a negetive score in any of the section will not going to give you a call from BHU as for getting admission there you must get a non-zero positive number which you don't have so you won't get a call.

But don't loose hope there are some other good exams like XAT with some good colleges like FORE DELHI, KJ SOMAIYA, IMT GHAZIABAD, IMI DELHI and TAPMI, so you should concentrate on these exams to get good marks and get a call from one of these colleges.

I hope the above information is beneficial for you.

All the best.
