IIFM Bhopal Courses List & Fees Structure 2025

Hello Varun,

Based on your CAT raw score and profile, here's a breakdown of your potential calls and your chances for different institutes:

1. GIM Goa, GLIM Chennai, IMT Ghaziabad, IMI Delhi:

• GIM Goa : With a score of 55, GIM typically looks for candidates with a higher percentile. However, you may still get a call if your overall profile, including your academic background (93.8% in Class 12, work experience), is strong.
  
  
• GLIM Chennai : GLIM has a competitive cutoff, but with a solid academic record and work experience, there may be a chance, especially if you belong to a diverse background.
  
  
• IMT Ghaziabad : Your chances with a score of 55 are slim, as IMT usually looks for a higher percentile. However, if you have an impressive profile and high academic scores, there may still be a slim possibility.
  
  
• IMI Delhi : Similar to IMT, IMI Delhi has high cutoffs and competitive selection criteria. However, work experience and other factors like diversity can sometimes offset a lower CAT score.
  
  2. IIM SAP (Special Admission Program) :
  
  
• The IIM SAP is typically for candidates with significant work experience or other unique factors. Your 14 months of work experience could be beneficial, but your CAT score of 55 is on the lower side, making it unlikely to receive an IIM SAP call. However, if you have other outstanding features in your profile (e.g., exceptional academic performance, leadership qualities, etc.), you might still stand a chance.
  
  3. Other Possible Calls :
  
  
• UPES Dehradun : Known for considering work experience and unique profiles, UPES could be a potential option for you.
  
  
• Bimtech Noida : You could expect a call here, considering your work experience and overall profile.
  
  
• XIMB Bhubaneswar : This institute also considers profiles with good work experience, and you may stand a chance despite your score.

Overall, you can expect a call from institutes that weigh work experience and academic performance heavily, but you should also be prepared for lower-tier institutes in terms of CAT score cutoffs. Ensure you target institutes that match your profile for better chances.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.
