IIM Ahmedabad - Indian Institute of Management Vastrapur Answered Questions

First of all you will need to apply for the entrance examination(for example CAT for IIMs). There are several MBA entrance examination in India like, CAT, MAT, XAT, GMAT, etc. Post which you will need to apply for the institute of your preference (at times you might not have too as well). Then with sufficient preparation you are expected to write the examination. After results are declared, all colleges invite students for interview/ group discussion/ written ability test etc. Post which they declare the results, which concludes the admission process. Regarding fee, there is no difference when MBA in marketing or finance or any other major. You can check fee for the colleges you are targeting on their website.

Yes, you can absolutely study for CAT while doing a BBA. IIMs don't discriminate between graduation major, on the contrary they promote diversity in the background. Also it is not compulsory to have work experience to join IIMs. However IIMA has recently started to encourage freshers to take a deferred admission to have work experience of two years. Also people with work experience, at times, have slight advantage in placements (it's not much though).

I don't think you stand a chance of getting into top six IIMs with 85 percentile. For general category students the cutoff goes as high as 98 percentile. However if you from non-engineering background, the cutoff are slightly lower. I would suggest that you give your best shot at CAT and not worry about cutoff now. Higher you score, better chances you have of qualifying.

Anything at IIM Ahmadabad is recognized, Recommended and accepted without any glitch with the kind of brand imagery and competition it has. Students are lucky who get an admission here and involves sincere efforts. PGPM course is accepted at International universities as well.

Yes, of course. Many IT companies come to business schools to hire students for marketing and operations role. I am not sure they would hire you directly for technology roles, I guess once you get there you will get a clear picture. Hope that answers your question.
