Hi Sai Krishna,

First of all I need to know if you are talking about MBA/PGDM from NMIMS Mumbai/Bangalore/Hyderabad campus.

For admission to these 3 B-schools and pursuing MBA or PGDM in Business Management or HR Management you need to sit for NMAT by GMAC exam and crack it. There is no requirement of IELTS or TOEFL.

As far as NMAT is concerned it is held once a year, but the exam can be taken as per the candidate's suitable date within a window of around 2.5 months from October to mid of December. You also get to attempt the exam a maximum of three times as per your wish but you will have to pay everytime you take an attempt. The best of three scores are considered for you final selection. The exam is a non-negative marking exam. There are three sections in the NMAT exam. They are Quantitative Skills, Language Skills, and Logical Reasoning. There are in all 120 questions and 120 minutes to answer them. Although each of the section has fixed timings and a fixed number of questions.

Language Skills - 32 questions - 22 minutes

Quantitative Skills - 48 questions - 60 minutes

Logical Reasoning - 40 questions - 38 minutes

The sections can be ordered as per your convenience. If you prefer the CAT style then start with Language Skills and follow it up with the other two.

If you are someone who prefers Quants to Language skills, then it's best to start with Logical Reasoning, follow it up with Quantitative Skills and end with Language Skills. This is my personal favorite style as among the three sections, Logical Reasoning is the most taxing one and it's best to attempt it with a fresh mind. If you are average in Quants you can still ease through Quantitative Skills. Language Skills of NMAT is one of the easiest among other B-school entrance exams.

The entire exam is more of a test of speed. The level of questions are from easy to moderate with more of them being on the easier side. So, it's the speed that matters. Being a non-negative exam it becomes imperative that you don't leave any question. There is also no point in deliberating between two answers. Just mark one option and move to the next question. Don't think that you will come back to the question later on. Mark an option and mark the question for review and move on. If you get time you come back else let your luck have a go at it as you had already marked an option.

Now coming to the cutoffs.

NMIMS Bangalore and Hyderabad campus generally gives you a call with 185+ scores. 190 would be a safe score to expect a call for PGDM from those two campuses.

NMIMS Mumbai cutoffs go a bit higher. 207+ is a safe score to expect a call. So 210 onwards one should expect a call for sure for both MBA BM and HR from the Mumbai campus.

All three are pretty good campuses to pursue management education.

Please revert back for any further queries or help. Happy to help!!

Hello Aspirant! 

Admission into for universities depend on a lot of factors. IELTS is one of them and it is basically to a proof of your proficiency in the english language. Other than that, your academic and co-curricular performances are considered. Even if you had a poor record in the past, but have demonstrated stark improvement in recent times, your chances for getting admission go a bit up. Along with that proper essays, and strong letters of recommendation and a good record of volunteering work increase your chances for getting admission. 

dear aspirant,

It’s EXACTLY the same test. The only difference is that the speaking test is recorded on video. Only certain centres offer UKVI since they have to be able to provide video recording facilities.If you take the IELTS UKVI, you get a normal IELTS score, which is accepted in all countries. The only difference is that UK immigration will accept it.

The UKVI has specified some particular centers which have the authorization to conduct IELTS for UK visa purposes. If you take IELTS from another center, it won’t be probably considered valid for UK Visa purposes.

so  you must take UKVI to mirgate to UK.

hope this helps.

good luck

Hello Aspirant,

Hope your doing good!

The TOEFL is more commonly accepted by American institutions, while the IELTS is more commonly accepted overseas, but many schools accept scores from either exam. ... Generally speaking, the majority of United States schools surveyed stated they preferred TOEFL scores over scores of other English-language tests.

PTE Academic, IELTS Academic or IELTS General? If IELTS General, choose IELTS General. It's easier.

A key difference between the exams is that, for the Reading and Listening sections, you’ll have to write your own answers for many of the questions on the IELTS, while all the answer choices will be given to you on the TOEFL. The TOEFL questions on these sections are not all multiple-choice, but most of them are, and for the ones that aren’t, you won’t have to produce your own answers.

The TOEFL and IELTS are the two most commonly administered English language proficiency exams. Both test the same four areas: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing, but the tests vary in terms of format and the way they test skills.

Hope this helps, for more such queries ping us below

Hello Ansh,

It'll be quite difficult for you to get admission in abroad for pursuing MS in Computer Science and Engineering. As your marks in 10+2 is quite low and for getting a good college abroad, your B.Tech graduation marks should be greater than or equal to 85%

Hope this helps.

Best of luck!!
