Hi there,

A waitlist number of 36 for the MBA (Communication Management) programme at SIMC means that you still have a fair chance of conversion by the second merit list.

Usually, waitlist movement at SIMC depends on several factors such as the availability of seats, how many candidates accept the offer in the first list, and how many withdraw after securing admission at other top B-schools.

Since many shortlisted candidates apply to multiple institutes, some movement in the waitlist is common after the first acceptance deadline. A waitlist number in the 30–40 range is generally considered borderline but hopeful, especially if the institute releases more than one merit list.

Your chances improve further if candidates ranked above you opt for other colleges or specialisations. It is advisable to regularly check official announcements and keep your documents and fees ready. While conversion is not guaranteed, your waitlist position does keep you very much in the race.

Feel free to reach out if you have any other queries, wishing you all the best.
