There are 2 stages that a candidate goes through before getting selected for IIM-Ahmedabad PGP Programme.

• The first stage is appearing for the CAT (or GMAT) Exam conducted by the IIMs
• On clearing the required cut-offs and the Composite Score (CS), which includes, but is not limited to, 10th, 12th and graduation marks, a candidate is called for Academic Writing Test (AWT) and Personal Interview (PI). From 2015 onwards, WAT has been replaced by Academic Writing Test (AWT)
• Final Selection is done on the basis of FCS (Final Composite Score), which takes into account PI, AWT, and CS calculated at the previous stage

All the best!

Suneel you can definitely do MBA from a good college but first of all to do MBA you will need to do a proper English course because you won't be able to get any good college without having a command of the English language. I know it will be too hard for you because seeing your question language and as you have mentioned that you have done your schooling from Hindi Medium you seem to be not even good enough with basic English but in order to do pursue MBA you need to have a command of English language not only to clear MBA exam but you will need it throughout next 2 years and even after that when you will start doing job.

So in short first do an English course along with the aptitude preparation for the MBA exam and then you can give the exam, score high, go through the whole procedure and you can definitely live up your dreams. It will require lots of hard work with true dedication for MBA.

There is no fixed application form date of GMAT exam. If you are above 18 years of age and have completed your graduation from a recognised and authenticated college or university then you can register yourself online for GMAT exam and give exam according to your comfortable date.

You can give GMAT exam maximum 5 times in a year and the best score is considered among the 5 scores which is valid for next 5 years. The examination fee of GMAT is $250 which is today equivalent to Rs. 16216.25 today.

Feel free to ask if you have any more queries. All the best!!

Your GMAT score is valid for 5 years and you get your result instantly after the exam. As you will be giving your exam in April so it will be very difficult for you to join any good b-school this season because most of the b-school's application deadline has already closed and even some of them have finished with their second round. By the end of the month of March, most of the b-schools must have already taken out their admission list so you will be left as a choice with very few colleges which are not at all good enough in any way.

So, what I will recommend to you if you are going to take admission in b-school next season then instead of giving exam in April you should give it a little later in the month of Oct-Nov. Till that time you can strengthen up your preparations not only for GMAT but also for other exams like CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT, NMAT, SNAP. These exams will open up a good opportunity for you to end up in some world class b-schools like IIMs, XLRI etc.

All the best!!

I am assuming you are from general category. Based on your overall academic profile, you will need to score atleast 98.5 percentile in CAT to get a call for the next round of IIM Kozhikode.

All the best!
