What After ATMA Results?

Deciding what to do after appearing for an entrance exam like ATMA is completely an individual’s choice and can be a little confusing at times. However, it must be a prudent one. Some students who score well in the exam start preparing themselves for the GD/PI round while some who may not have scored very well either opt for a job or decide to give ATMA exam another chance.

Some candidates also plan on appearing for other MBA entrance exams or they may have already appeared for other entrance exams. Candidates must know that for those who plan on taking part in the further ATMA admission process which includes GD/WAT/PI rounds, these rounds are not a cakewalk. They must prepare themselves well before appearing for these rounds.

During the GD/PI/WAT rounds, candidates are evaluated on various grounds. They will be evaluated on their communication skills, leadership skills, grammatical skills, vocabulary, general awareness, managerial skills, personality, confidence, academics, candidate-specific field of interest, extracurricular activities, etc.

Q:   Which information will be printed on the ATMA result cum scorecard?
Q:   Would I get admission on the basis of ATMA results directly?
Q:   Where will the ATMA scorecard be available?

Another thing that candidates must prepare themselves beforehand is choosing their specialisation. Before selecting the college it is important to decide which specialisation the candidate wants to opt for. The interest of the students and their future career goals will help them decide which MBA specialisation they want to pursue. Despite this, they must also consider factors such as the scope of the specialisation, its market value, personal strengths, the kind of job opportunities it will bring, the internship opportunities that the course will bring, and whether their dream institute/college has their preferred specialisation or not, etc.
