A waitlist number of 53 at IFMR Krea University gives you a decent chance, but it largely depends on how many students ahead of you decline their offers. In past admission cycles, IFMR’s waitlist movement for the MBA program has sometimes gone beyond 70–80, especially after top B-schools release their results and students drop seats.

If you’re flexible about accepting quickly when offered, your odds are fairly good  though nothing is guaranteed. The biggest movement usually happens in the first two weeks after the initial admission deadline, with smaller waves later. Keep all your documents and fees ready so you can confirm immediately if you get the call.
