It is difficult to say with certainty whether there is a chance of conversion for an MBA programme with a waitlist of 100 as it depends on various factors such as the total number of seats available, the number of students who accept their offers, and the movement of the waitlist. However, if the waitlist is ranked, it is possible to estimate your chances of conversion based on your position on the waitlist. If your position is high on the waitlist, there is a higher chance of conversion as more seats may become available due to students declining their offers or not meeting the admission criteria. It is also important to keep in mind that waitlist movement can happen at any time, even after the admission deadline has passed, so it is important to be patient and keep checking for updates from the MBA programme. Ultimately, the best course of action is to reach out to the admissions office of the MBA programme and inquire about the waitlist movement and your chances of conversion based on your position on the list. They may also be able to provide additional information on the likelihood of waitlist movement and any steps you can take to improve your chances of admission. Please upvote if it was helpful.

The HSS department at IITBombay is introducing the Master of Arts by Research (MA. Res) with precisely this emphasis. The faculty members in the department represent diverse areas of expertise and have considerable experience teaching with an emphasis on research skills while accommodating disciplinary crossovers with ease. This is especially important since many of the concerns of the Humanities and Social Sciences requireamulti-disciplinary approach. Our students have been successful both in working at the interfaces of different areas and in transcending traditional disciplinary boundaries in their work. The programme combines course work to build student competence in specific areas, research training, and researchmodules for independent work. Students are expected to carry out a successful programme of research within the duration of the programme. The internal structure of the programme is designed to be quite different from course intensive postgraduate programmes and allows for relative flexibility interms of student backgrounds and prior training
