Hi,

in old IIMs they will consider your academic percentages. CAT if you crack with good percentage i.e., more 99.3% you have good chances to get a call from old IIMs or if you get more than 99.70%, definitely you will get a call.

The interview calls from the old IIMs are dependent on a lot of factors such as Academics, Diversity and Stream of Graduation.

There are examples of General Engineering Male who did not get a call at 99.9 even.

It depends on lot of factors like academic history , Work EX-If any , Gender , Category , Engineer or non-engineer if you are GEM and have bad academic history even if you score 99.9%ile IIM-ABC won’t even give you call and if you perform good in WAT-PI you can convert other IIMs.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

A weightage of almost 70 percent is allotted to your CAT score, while the remaining 30 percent is based on the application rating score. The estimated percentile for CAT is above 99 for the general category, which demands a requisite of a constant range of 70-75 marks in all the sections of the CAT examination. While, the reserved categories demand a 50-65 marks range.

According to an RTI filed this year to IIMA it released the lowest CAT percentile of students seeking admission in PGP 2018-20 called for Written Ability Test, Group Discussion and Personal interview for general category was 89.2 %ile score in CAT Exam. But remember you need to have stellar academic record right from 10th until your graduation. Having a work experience is a massive boost to your chances.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

Considering the brand value and reputation of MBA institutes such as the IIMs, they do not compromise on the quality of the students enrolling into their institute. One of the most efficient strategies that help them succeed in their pursuit of top notch students is a high cut off of the CAT examination. Hence, IIMs are known to raise their bars of the expected percentile in the examination. The general bracket of the accepted CAT percentile ranges from 95 to a 99.98 percentile so as to get you a PI, that is, a Personal Interview call from the IIM institutes.

According to an RTI filed this year to IIMA it released the lowest CAT percentile of students seeking admission in PGP 2018-20 called for Written Ability Test, Group Discussion and Personal interview across all categories (General, SC, ST, OBC and other categories too).

CAT Cutoffs

General: 89.22 %ile

OBC: 81.48 %ile

SC: 70.78 %ile

ST: 70.01 %ile

DA: 79.94 %ile

Hi, Mona

All 3 programs are for those who have some sort of professional experience in their career and also all the three programmes are of a 1-year duration.

IIM Ahemdabad PGPX

Criteria to get admission in this course is:

A valid GMAT/GRE score (GMAT/GRE scores are valid for five years from the date to the application deadline date of the round in which the candidate is applying. The earliest acceptable GMAT/GRE test date for the three rounds are - Round 1 : August 24, 2016 Round 2 : October 5, 2016 Round 3 : December 7, 2016. Age of 25 years as of March 31, 202 Minimum 4 years of full-time work experience after completion of graduation as of March 31, 2022. A candidate should have experience of 5 to 15 years.

The fee of this pgpx programme is 30 lakh and the average placement is also stood at 30 LPA.

IIM Banglore (EPGP)-

The program  Executive Post Graduate Programme in Management is available only for those who have 5 to 12 years of experience in the industry. Its admission criteria is very much similar to the IIMA selection criteria which I have already stated above. The fee structure of this programme is 29 lakh for shared accommodation and 31 lakh for family accommodation. And the placement for the session of 2019-2020 is 29.88 LPA which I think is a very good deal

ISB PGP -

At ISB, its post-graduation programme is ranked no 1 globally in offering a 1-year management programme. Its campus is situated in Hyderabad and Mohali. This programme is available for only those professionals who have experience of 2-20 years in a wide range of industry. The fees of their programme are approximately 40 lakh and the placement stood at 27.13 LPA.

Now according to me, if I see in terms of ROI, the programme offered by IIM A & B is a good deal to make but if I see the brand value of ISB PGP, it is little bit more than the other two.

Hi,

IIM Ahmedabad is often known as "HARVARD of the east". There are many reasons:

Faculty:

IIMA has extremely renowned academics, professors and management thinkers as faculty. Some professors here even do have followers like a cult, because of the knowledge, insights and sheer wisdom they bring to the classroom. In the case method, that is the method of instruction at IIM-A, professors are able to generate wonderful insights which an entire class of 90 can't. The faculty also strive hard to maintain a level of excellence at the institution, working on research, with the industry and leading think tanks to improve management thinking in the country.

Alumni Base:

IIM Ahmedabad has one of the strongest alumni networks, if not the strongest alumni network in the country. There are corporate professionals at the pinnacles of some of the most prestigious well known corporations, who will talk to you like a friend when they visit the institute or possibly drop by at your dorm. Any body who is willing to start up or start out by themselves are provided huge support by the alumni network.

Oppurtunitites:

The opportunity of an internship with a global investment bank, interaction with professors who are reputed in the industry, association with the best minds from across the country and a chance to learn about all the different functions of management, may not have been possible elsewhere. The opportunities for foreign placements from IIMA are unparalleled, as many foreign recruiters come here exclusively. This is again a indication of the strong alumni network and the achievements of past students of IIMA in global firms.

Hence IIMA atttracts the sharpest minds from the country who have highly intense drive for achievements and possess leadership qualitites.

Hope it helps.
