IIM Raipur All Questions

Hello,

With a 91.98 percentile in CAT and being a non-engineer fresher from the EWS category , you have a decent chance for IIM Shillong and IIM Raipur , but it will depend on various factors like:

1. If you have strong 10th and 12th marks, it will help.

2. Being a non-engineer can be an advantage since many IIMs give extra points for academic diversity.

3. This increases your chances, as the cutoff for EWS is generally lower than the general category.

4. As a fresher, you might lose some points, but if other factors are strong, it can balance out.

5. Even if you get a call, converting it will depend on your performance in the WAT-PI round .

For IIT Roorkee (DOMS) , your chances are quite high , as their cutoff for EWS candidates is usually around this range.

Hope it helps !

The Indian Institute Of Managements(IIMs) do not have fixed seat allocations for their Post Graduate Programme(PGP) as their student intake keeps on changing every year. Specifically, for IIM Raipur, the student intake for the batch of 2021-23 was 262, and for the batch of 2022-24, it is 325. The number is expected to rise with each subsequent batch.

Ashish, IIMs do not accept MAT scores. Admission to IIMs is only done through CAT scores followed by WAT and PI rounds. There are many other colleges in India which accept MAT scores such as:

• UPES, Dehradun
• SPJIMR, Mumbai
• Christ University
• VIT, Vellore
• NIT Wrangal
• New Delhi Institute of Management

Thankyou!

Hey Vasu

Getting shortlisted depends on your CAT percentile, WAT and personal interview. If you have a good record of academics then that would be a plus point. All these factors will help you in the IIMs' selection.

Looking at your factors, honestly, the chances exist but less. There are many candidates that don't opt for admissions or chose some other institutions, in that case your chances will increase automatically.

All the best

Dear Rahul, you mentioned that you are a Hotel Management Graduate but haven't mentioned your aggregate in Bachelor's degree. If you belong to General Category or OBC, you should secure a minimum aggregate of 55% and it is 50% for SC,ST,PWD Categories. Now for being eligible for M.Sc Statistics, you should have studied Statistics atleast for 2 years in your Bachelor's degree. Now PGPMWE is a Post Graduation course and that is not considered while evaluating your eligiblity criterIa. So unfortunately, even if you scored the aggregate required against your Category, if you haven't studied Statistics in your Bachelor's degree, you are not eligible for JAM 2020.
