IIM Ahmedabad do not admit students through CMAT. One has to clear CAT/GMAT to get an admit into IIM A.

You have a good chance of admission at IIM- C/FMS and other premium B-Schools. I would suggest you to prepare for current affairs, B.Tech related basics, macroeconomics and some puzzles and mathematics as such for WAT & PI.

Only CET marks are used to apply to XIMR. XAT marks may be considered during your interview round for institute level seats or minority quota. However, it is mandatory for a candidate who wish to apply to appear for the MHCET exams and application process begins only afterwards i.e sometime in May-June.
XAT scores are however primarily used for applying to XLRI, Jamshedpur.
Hope this helps!

No, your overall CAT score is considered for IIM calls. Having said that, you can play on your strengths and excel in verbal/LRDI and manage to clear the cut-off of quant section to get calls, provided you manage a good overall CAT score.

Yes, they do. Do understand that IIM A students usually have stellar academics. A good academics (relatively) become average academics with this peer group. So, a poor academics will become even poorer (relatively) which might be a huge downer for such firm's shortlisting.

IIM A admits through CAT exam only for Indians. Cut-off score is the minimum requirement to be considered for further scrutiny and does not guarantee a call or admit.

I would suggest you to pursue a course from an AICTE certified institute. Your degree might not be recognized universally in case you choose to pursue any course from an institute which is not AICTE approved.

No problem. You can always re-appear next year. But I would suggest to gain some relevant experience while dropping for CAT.

There are no set correct answers to these questions. Please understand that the interviewers are veterans in interviewing and a not-so-genuine answer can be easily identified by them. Hence, the key lies in introspecting about your life and coming up with your life story that inspired you to do MBA. That would get you the answer to why MBA. Coming to short term goal and long term goal, short term goal can be to successfully graduating from top IIMs and long term can be to gain expertise in your favorite specialization (do your homework beforehand).

Hello Divya,
MBA is not advisable since it is completely a different field. You should opt for law, since it will help you with CS.
Even if you dont study after CS it is sufficient, since passing CS is a big deal.
You can work under a practicing CS to learn, and then you could decide about the future career path.
