Hello,

Getting into top business schools like IIM Ahmedabad or IIM Bangalore is highly competitive and admission decisions are based on various factors which includes CAT scores, academic performance, work experience, and more. While having a very good score in CAT is important, it's not the only criteria for admission. It's also essential to have a well-rounded profile and stand out in other areas.

Since you don't have good academics, I suggest you to perform well in your graduation and also build you profile by doing courses, extra curricular activities and most importantly internships. This will help you standout along with your brilliant CAT score.

Hopw this helps,

Thank you

IIM Bodhgaya offers a two-year, full-time MBA in Hospital and Healthcare Management programme at the postgraduate level. Candidates who have obtained a minimum of 50% marks in the Bachelor's degree examination (45% marks for SC/ ST/ PwD category candidates) can apply for the programme.

Admission to this programme offered at IIM Bodhgaya is based on the CAT scores followed by the Personal Interview (PI). Candidates seeking admission to the programme must meet the minimum overall and sectional percentile for shortlisting for PI process. This cutoff percentile can vary for different categories of students. The percentile cutoff is decided after CAT result. Candidates must then appear for the CAP/ SAP process. IIM Bodhgaya will conduct a separate PI for other candidates, who are shortlisted to appear in PI for MBA-HHM . The cutoffs may vary every year for candidates from different categories.

The final merit list is prepared on the basis of CAT score, Personal Interview, and Profile which include academic profile, preferred discipline, and work experience. Having a work experience is not a mandatory factor as if you have a work experience of less than 12 months, then you will get zero points.

Hello,

With your CAT percentile and sectional cutoffs, you have a good chance of being eligible for admission to the newer IIMs. The newer IIMs, also known as the baby IIMs, are a group of IIMs established relatively recently. They consider a slightly lower CAT percentile for admission compared to the older IIMs. However, eligibility criteria can vary from year to year, so it is best to check the official websites.

Hope this helps you,

Hello,

The application forms for the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) are usually released in the months of September or  near to October. However, it is very important to note that the exact dates may vary from year to year. To stay updated, I will recommend regularly checking the official website of the IIMs or the Common Admission Test (CAT) website, as CAT is the entrance exam for admission to the IIMs. They will provide all the necessary information regarding the application process and important dates.

Hope this helps you,

Thank you

Hi!

The marks obtained by you in Class 10 and 12 will not hamper your chances to appear for the entrance examination. In order to appear for the CAT , candidates must hold a Bachelor’s Degree, with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA (45% in case of candidates who belong to SC, ST, and PwD (PWD) category).

However, marks obtained by you in Class 10 and 12 will play a major role to get a shortlist for the WATPI/ GDPI rounds, and during your final selection. These scores will be used by business schools while calculating the composite score. Some business schools give a lot of priority to your Class 10 and 12 marks while some business schools don't even consider your past academic record during the selection process. Therefore, you have good chances to get admission in good MBA colleges subject to the condition that you must perform well in the entrance examination followed by the WATPI/ GDPI process.

Further, you can appear for any entrance examination such as CAT, XAT , etc. subject to the condition that you must meet the minimum eligibility criteria for that particular examination.
