IIM Bangalore - Indian Institute of Management Bannerghatta Road Answered Questions

Dear friend, it is not necessary. It completely depends upon your choice. You can choose PGDM course if
1. You want to be MD/CEO.
2. If you have a high dream.
3. If you want to earn more.
4. You want a caliber lifestyle.
Otherwise, you can run on the same track what you are now. But it is always better choose a good college for doing PGDM otherwise it is completely wastage of time & money.

It is highly improbable to get into IIMS with 84 percentile. Going by the usual cut off trends of the IIMS, it has really high competition and hence, cutoff. The intake is generally for 95+ CAT scores. So, for general category, it's really difficult. However, you can try for other colleges which are equally good.

Hi Alen,
MBA has great opportunities and wide scope. First thing is that you need to identify your area of interest in which you would like to make your career. Go for MS as they have MBA in IT and systems or else you can go for PGDM (Operations, HR, Marketing, and Finance). Good Luck Mate.

Hi Harshita,
Congratulations on scoring 97 Percentile in CAT. I would say that there are chances for you to get a call. Also you have a strong score in past academic years. Hope for the best and also try out for other institutes along with IIM. Good Luck Mate.

Hi Ansh,
To get through any IIM you need to appear for CAT. Only if you score distinctively high I. e. around 96 percentile (Depends on year on year) you might stand a chance to get a call from them. Aim to score 98-99 percentile. Also they would check your academics throughout and you need to meet up to their criteria to get through the interview and GD rounds. Start studying hard and smart and appear as many Mocks as you can. Also refer to various authors and apply for test series at different places. As they say the more, the merrier. Good Luck Mate.
