IIFM Bhopal All Questions

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, you can sit for the CAT exam with a CGPA of 8.5. However when you do crack the CAT exam and have to sit for the interview round or the Group discussion round, you will be asked the question about 4 years of graduation, in which case, carry your hospital records and medical certificates to prove to them that you actually had some health issues during your graduation. This shouldn't be a problem because you had a genuine reason for the one-year gap.

Hello Aspirant

Who said you don't English? You wrote your problem on CAREERS360 with minimal grammar mistakes, this proves you have your basics clear in English. You can absolutely clear CAT with one year of preparations. Start your preparations from the day you decide you want to clear CAT.

Tips to improve English-

1) Start reading novels, poems, prose, news articles, and short stories. Reading helps you work on your vocabulary a lot. Never stop reading, whatever interests you.

2) Watch Hollywood movies, YouTube interviews in English with subtitles on.

3) Read WORD MADE EASY by Norman Lewis. This book is the Holy Grail for any CAT aspirant.

4) Think in English. I know many people say 'speak in English' but I know it's not easy for us Indians to find people who are willing to in English with us and we don't feel comfortable when we are not confident. But start thinking in English. This proved to help me a lot.

Hope this helps

• High CAT Score: A score exceeding  99.9 percentile is exceptional and puts you amongst the top candidates vying for admission. IIM Bangalore prioritizes  CAT scores heavily in the shortlisting process.

• Strong Academics: Your 96% in CBSE 12th and a B.Tech degree demonstrate a solid academic foundation, which IIM Bangalore also considers during shortlisting.

However, the shortlisting process is multifaceted:

• Other Factors: IIM Bangalore considers other factors beyond CAT scores, such as your work experience (if any), XAT score (if you appear for it), academic diversity, gender diversity, and performance in the interview and Written Ability Test (WAT) stages (if shortlisted).

Here's what you can do to strengthen your application:

• Focus on WAT and PI: If you receive a shortlist, prepare extensively for the Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI). These stages assess your communication, soft skills, leadership potential, and suitability for the program.

• Work Experience (if applicable): If you have work experience, highlight your achievements and how they align with your chosen IIM Bangalore program.

Overall, with a stellar CAT score and a strong academic background, you have a very good chance of getting a call from IIM Bangalore. But remember to prepare comprehensively for the other stages of the selection process.

Hello

Generally admissions are given based on your rank. So based on your overall percentile in JEE your rank could be between 56470 - 63480 approximately.

Unfortunately, Based on the marks you scored, it will be difficult to get admitted into NIT Trichy under OBC category. However there is also a second chance for you to attend for JEE, so I recommend you to take that chance and score better.
