IIM Bangalore - Indian Institute of Management Bannerghatta Road Answered Questions

Your chances seem quite decent. I would suggest you use Shiksha's Call Predictor to get a better idea of what different CAT percentiles would do for your chances to get a call. By the way, NITIE and IIM A, B and C are quite different. NITIE has a much stronger focus on operations while IIMs don't focus at all on operations (even the roles in operations are quite limited).

Sorry, but it will be quite difficult for you to get into IIM-A and B. As C doesn't have a graduation criteria (i.e. zero weightage to graduation score) it would be your best shot. Additionally, I would not suggest you to go to any of the IIMs as then you would be competing for jobs with the best profiles of the country, and this might dilute your profile and competition. But, it is your choice at the end.

Hi Anoop, The eligibility is not an issue for you. But looking at your scores of 10th, 12th and undergraduate, it is highly unlikely that you will receive an interview call from IIM-B as they put significant weights to each of these while rolling out calls. My advice would be to AIMAT other top non-Iims or newer Iims.

Hi Tony,
I am assuming, you are asking for PGP programme. At IIM Bangalore, it is mandatory to stay in the hostel in the first year. However, in the second year, you are given a choice to stay off campus. Given the high weightage to various group components, frequent meetings and lot of activities, it is highly advisable to stay on campus and I personally know no person who might have chosen to stay off campus.

Hi Paurvi,
To get admission in IIM A, B, C, it is mandatory to take CAT and achieve a good score. Simply, looking at the percentages, it is very difficult to guess, if you can get a call. In case, you secure a good CAT score, your application rating should be good considering these scores.
