Work experience
Hello,
Work experience in some courses are mandatory whereas in others adds points in your selection process.in both the cases, if you have experience in a valid and recognized startup company the work experience will be counted. Moreover, the experience need to be justified by your domain knowledge, so prepare well.
Hope it helps
You have a great academic track record. 3 years of work experience would be a great add on to your resume as you will have a lot to speak up on but not all IIMs have work experience in the weightage for selection criteria. To get a call from 1st generation IIMs, you will need an exceptional CAT score. The observed cut off is around 99.5%tile for IIM-A. But there are very high chances that you can get selected in IIM-L, IIM-I, IIM-K or any of the 2nd or 3rd generation IIMs.
Also remember that GD and PI also holds certain amount of weightage for the shortlisting. And your extracurricular activities can also bag you a few points so do not underestimate them as well.
Hope this helps!

Hello Sonica,
Hope you are doing great.
Well, if you see the admission criteria of IIM Shillong, it gives on 25% weightage to CAT Score and 40% weightage to Personal Appearance.
So, the shortlisting procedure is based on your previous performances which includes Work Experience, Good Academic profile, activities and interests in co curricular activities. So, you may expect calls from IIM Shillong with low percentile also as you reflect good backgrounds.
So, Hope for the best !
All the best for admissjons !
Thank you !
Palash, this is an amazing academic profile that you put up over the years. With this kind of marks, we seriously doubt you would have a low CAT score. Neverthless, most IIMs atleast look for work experience of 36 months. If you are in your final year now and you have appeared for CAT and you have an offer from EY, you will need to put up atleast 3 years before you plan on getting into an IIM. We have 20 IIMS and each IIM shortlists candidates for the interview stage based on their own criteria, which may be independent of each other. The process may include Written Ability Test, Group Discussion, and Personal Interviews. Performance in the CAT examination is an important component in the admission process. IIMs may additionally use other factors such as the previous academic performance of the candidates, relevant work experience, gender and academic diversity and other similar inputs in shortlisting and ranking of candidates at various stages of the admission process. The processes, academic cut-offs and the weights allocated to the evaluation parameters may vary across IIMs It shouldn't be more than that for IIM Ahmedabad. Here we shall try to help you with the selection process of IIM A,B and C.

Sourabh, Articleship in CA Intermediate is not considered as work experience because that is a mandatory part of studying CA. So, for now we have to exclude CA qualification because you need to complete CA if you want to show CA as your educational qualification. And CA final year Candidates are not eligible for CAT. They need to complete the course to be eligible for CAT if they want to claim CA as their highest qualification. IIM Ahmedabad has the following rating scale. This is the same across all Categories:
Percent score Rating Score
<= 55 1
> 55 and <= 60 2
> 60 and <= 70 3
> 70 and <= 80 5
> 80 and <= 90 8
> 90 10
<= 45 1
> 45 and <= 50 2
> 50 and <= 60 3
> 60 and <= 70 5
> 70 and <= 85 8
> 85 10
As you did B.Com.in your Graduation, the minimum cut off for General Category is 77%. From each Academic sectors top 5% from each stream and each Category will be short listed. It might look like:
Category Upper Limit
General 100
NC-OBC-cum-transgender 57
SC 32
ST 16
PwD 6
After shortlisting the Candidates, the selected Candidates will have to go through WAT and PI rounds. Selection at this stage will strictly be based on the shortlisting of the candidates done separately for each Category ) on the basis of their Final Composite Score. The numbers selected in different reservation categories will be in proportions mandated by law.
Personal Interview Multiplication Factor (PIF) = 0.50
AWT Multiplication Factor (AWTF) = 0.10
CAT Score Multiplication Factor for Final Composite Score (CATF_FCS) = 0.25
Application Rating Multiplication Factor for Final Composite Score (ARF_FCS) = 0.15
After the AWT & PI round, admission offers are made by IIMA to successful candidates. The final selection is based on a diverse set of attributes which includes performance in CAT, performance in AWT & PI, academic, co-curricular and extra-curricular achievements, work experience, etc.
Now if you look at the no.of Candidates who are selected for General Category it is only 100. To beat the rest 99 for a seat in an IIM, you need have an impressive profile. As already discussed you have your CA in your favour. So complete CA Finals as well and meanwhile put up some work experience. That is the best shot at getting into an IIM.
HI...
Goa Institute of Management or more famously called as ‘GIM’/ ‘God’s own B-school’’ is a good choice- recently it came in top 20 emerging B-schools in India. The curriculum is a good mix of regular lectures, case studies, field trips, real-time assignment(for some subjects you work with professors acting as consultants for industry, government of Goa, etc), etc.
On fun-part, there are various clubs which you can join based on your interest and academic orientation (MECCA for Marketing, HRiday for HR and so on). In addition to this, the natural beauty of Goa in to be enjoyed with scenic background of the campus and some real good places around the campus to explore with your gang.
In terms of package, the average salary has been in terms of 8–9 lakhs pa and fees has been increased recently to 14+ but then there are several companies coming during placement paying you more than 15 LPA. Don’t forget the fact that batch size of GIM is 240 and not 120 or so as is normal in other B-schools(and hence low average salary in GIM). Also if you study good you are eligible to receive scholarship from the college.
Best luck
