IIM Ahmedabad (IIMA) All Questions

hi,

surely you wil have chances to jin IIMA provided you score good in the entrance CAT exam,

Considering you’re from General category An overall score of 96+%ile with more than 70%ile in sectionals & a background in agriculture/food industry(just to be on the safe side) will definitely give you a fair chance of securing a seat for IIM-A’s ABM program.

Yes!

If you're looking only to get into an IIM then it is possible with low academics as IIMs consider only overall performance which includes CAT percentile, work experience, gender diversity, and your academics. Getting calls is an easy process with high CAT score but getting into an IIM is a different story though. Each IIMs have their own admission criteria and the weight given to CAT percentile is also different. Some colleges like IIM Bangalore depend heavily on your academics, and thus lower academics mean you stand a low chance, but other IIMs like IIM-Calcutta go easy on the academics and weigh heavily on the CAT and this becomes your hunting ground. Thus, it becomes important for you to jot down the IIMs you are eligible for and aim for the particular CAT score accordingly. 

Since nothing can be done about the academics right now it becomes rather important for you to score as high as possible in your CAT exam. Assuming you get somewhere around 99 percentile, there is a very high chance of you securing a seat given that you do your PI-WAT very well. With a score like 99 percentile, you will certainly get calls from all the new IIMs, baby IIMs, and sometimes even the old IIMs like IIM Indore and IIM Kozhikode, but getting a call from the holy trinity (IIM ABC) would need a score of more than 99.6 percentile. I personally know students who haven't got a call at 99.5 percentile and I assume you know the cutthroat competition by now.

That being said, once you get a call from the IIMs, another obstacle to cross is the PI-WAT. The PI stories are different and again the weight varies. IIM Indore has around 60% weight and that's the maximum an IIm gives. Again, it depends upon different IIMs. Some IIMs like IIM Bangalore and IIM Indore give very less weight for your CAT percentile ( a mere 25%) and others like IIM Udaipur give 55% to your CAT score while calculating your composite score for the final admission. Thus scoring high only in CAT doesn't guarantee a seat and the real game begins only after that. 

Also, certifications don't really play a vital role while getting calls, but it becomes important during the interview phase.

Good luck. Feel free to contact for further queries.

Hello aspirant. Thanks for connecting with Careers360. I would like to tell you that you have fulfiled the requirements of past academic records but what matters the most is your CAT score. I assume you belong to General category. So I would like to clear that a minimum of 90 percentile is required in CAT in order to get a call from IIM-A for further rounds of selection. Main emphasis is laid on your CAT score. I hope you found this answer helpful. Good luck. 

Hello

Firstly, you don't have to apply separately for the IIMs. Aspirants have to appear for the CAT exam which makes them eligible for the PGP/PGDM programs of the IIMs.

You cannot add any of the programme now that was to be done only at the time of filling the CAT application form.

Good Luck!

Hello

You have a good academic profile and based on your score CAT percentile, you can try for

Indian Institute of Forest Management, Bhopal
IBS Business School, Hyderabad
National Institute of Technology, Warangal
BIMTECH, Greater Noida
PSG Institute of Management, Coimbatore

The final selection procedure also depends on your performance in the PI/GD.

The admission to Indian institutes of management Ahmedabad is a complex process and it not only depends on class 10th with marks.

The admission to Indian institutes of management Ahmedabad depends upon your class 10th 12th marks your graduation marks your CAT percentile and after that if you have very good profile in all this then you will be called for personal interview and analytical written test so if you perform well in all of them then only you will be selected.

The first step is to complete graduation and appear for the CAT exam and if you score well in the cat it is for general category around 99 percentile and have very good marks in class 10th 12th and graduation like this much marks what you have is not considered as a good then only a student get a call from Indian Institute of management Ahmedabad and getting a call from Indian Institute of management Ahmedabad does not guaranteed admission into it you need to further follow the procedures which includes analytical written test followed by personal interview then only a student is able to get admission into it.

Hope this helps all the best.

Hey! 

You have good chances of getting calls from IIMs, but the old ones, in this case, depends a bit on luck. You have pretty decent marks throughout your academic profile. So, you have chances of getting a call for the second round as you also have a Masters degree, So prepare well for the second round. Best wishes!
