Dear applicant considering the honest scenario of the inner educational atmosphere of the Colleges unless you get IIM Lucknow, Ahmedabad or Kolkata, it is not that satisfactory to take admission in the other ones. Whereas in case of IITs like IIT Madras, or IIT Kanpur it is way too better than to choose the less preferable IITs. So it is extremely important to get the seat at a good Institution, choose wisely.

Good luck!!

Dear student,

• they look for excellent academic record , not only top rank in college or university but also in school . so, your marks in class 10th and 12th are also looked upon in the interview.
• excellent communication skills and fluency in speaking.
• your convincing skills
• problem solving skills
• professional certifications
• work experience in top firms.
• knowledge on various social issues.
• confidence
• where do you want to see yourself after next 5 years.

Hi Mukesh,

Misconceptions are a part of life. You are 99% perfect but that 1% imperfectness drags all the 99% into nothing.

See, IIMs are the top B-schools in India and for getting into IIMs the competition is very very high. The percentile ranges from 97 to 99%ile for the selection along with several other factors.

Misconceptions are generally based on these factors, these are:

• Fees Structure for 2 year
• Placements
• Worth it or not?
• Future scope

See, misconceptions are build by humans not the institute. In fact, you need to understand about the value education such schools provide along with finances.

In shorts, many people think that investing a sum of approx. 25 lakhs into B-schools is a waste of money. An individual takes many years to earn this sum of money. But they don't realise that this can pay you back for sure. Placements in IIMs are worthy and it totally depends upon the skills of an individual. Also, an individual needs to focus on what is right or wrong. Since, there are many misconceptions related to IIMs but the fees structure and placements are still on the top!

Hope you get your answer.

Thanks!

Hi Pradeep,

I think this answer does not need any explanation because Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad or IIM A tops the list without any fail.

The college was established in the year 1961 and since then it is ranked at first everytime.

Hello Aspirant,

Consideration wise any work experience is acceptable as long as its full time salaried.

However, if your hidden aspect of the question is that which are preferred work.

Previous ex. from core industries and banking are given high priority. In banking too, back-office ex. is not preferred that much. However, such as that of Analyst, IB, Corporate Banking are desired.

Similarly, Consulting ex. is also preferred. Consulting esp. at Strategic level is given priority over functional consulting (Operation Consulting, HR Consulting, etc.). Start-up ex. is also good.

Typical IT ex., banking such as that IBPS PO, market research, teaching types of ex., etc. are not desired ones.

In nutshell, impactful ex. is preferred.

These are just some of the pattern observed so far. However, there is no any such hard and fast rule as a lot depends upon batch composition in mind, and available pool of resources.

Hello there

The simple answer of this question from my side would be a big NO .

Yes there might happen that the placements committee would be knowing before the process that which company would be coming out and what they want but that doesn't matter very much on the placement factor as it's totally depend upon the student abilities and their potential.

Yes this I can also say that being a member of the placement committee would be giving you a little amount of advantage.

I hope this helps you!

Thank you!

Hello there

To get shortlisted means you are getting selection in internships.

So to get an internship the three major factors which plays a very vital role in your selection process is your CV which is always the first step, thereafter getting through GD and then cracking the interview .

Also all the companies have different different criterias to recruit the students and to shortlist them so it might also include some activities like written assessment, group discussions, leadership, oratorical skills and much more.

I hope it helps you!

Thank you!

Yes work experience does matter in IIMs

Candidates having more work experience definitely get advantage over other candidates.

The rating score alloted to candidate with work experience more than 36 month is 5.

This is not the criteria but it gives weightage.

Hi,

IIMs are the most prestigious B-Schools of India and their low acceptance rates prove that IIMs are the houses of the sharpest minds of the country.

As of 2020, there are 20 IIMs in India. The total seat count is approximately 5000 overall. And the number of test takers of CAT Exam in 2020 was approximately 2.3 Lakhs. Hence the seat acceptance rate is as low as 2.17%

But that should not demotivate anyone to stop working hard towards their goals. If anyone is willing to push themselves harder, no one can stop them from getting a seat in this prestigious institutes.

Hope it helps.
