Hi aspirant,

Both IMS and TIME are respectable choices for CAT coaching in Bangalore. There are excellent mock exams available for both classes. Time mocks are really challenging. It is more challenging than the actual exam. Whereas, IMS mocks are comparable to the actual exam. Nevertheless, TIME is frequently regarded as marginally superior due to its high-quality materials, faculty reputation, and AIMCAT test series, whereas IMS is renowned for its friendly faculty and SIMCATs. Regarding the pricing structure, both require a substantial sum of money, approximately 50-60k.

All the best!

Hi Manoj Singh, to join XIME Bangalore you must have overall cutoff of 75 percentile in CAT for PGDM/MBA, it also considers sectional scores with minimum of 40% in each section. Based on the scores candidates are shortlisted for Group Discussion(GD) and Personal Interview rounds.

With a 99 percentile in CAT, you've definitely got a strong foundation for your MBA aspirations.

FMS Admission Process

FMS Delhi considers various factors for admission, including:

1. CAT score (99 percentile is excellent!)

2. Academic performance (your low academic background might be a concern)

3. Work experience (you didn't mention any, but certifications and courses can help)

4. Extracurricular activities (your Engage 7x Course and Spanish foreign language course are positives)

5. Personal interview (this is an opportunity to showcase your skills and passion)

SC Category Advantage

As an SC category candidate, you'll have a relaxation in the admission criteria. FMS Delhi has a reservation policy for SC/ST candidates.

Chances of Getting into FMS

While a 99 percentile CAT score is impressive, FMS Delhi is a highly competitive institution. Your low academic background might affect your chances, but:

- Your SC category status will provide some advantage.

- Your certifications and courses (Engage 7x, Spanish) demonstrate your enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

It's difficult to predict admission outcomes, but I'd estimate your chances as follows:

- FMS Delhi: 20-30% chance (considering your CAT score, SC category, and certifications)

- Other top MBA colleges: 50-70% chance (considering your CAT score and SC category)

Next Steps

1. Apply to FMS Delhi: Submit your application, highlighting your strengths and certifications.

2. Prepare for the personal interview: Showcase your passion, skills, and experiences.

3. Consider other MBA colleges: Apply to other top colleges that align with your interests and goals.

Stay positive, and best of luck with your applications!
