IIM Ahmedabad - Indian Institute of Management

Hi. what is your CAT score ?

Campus life is great actually. This would definitely be the best time of your life. You will find amazing colleagues and excellent professors. This place forces you to go outside your comfort zone and achieve results that you wouldn't have thought were possible. You will get all support within and outside campus for anything you want to do. (literally anything)

I would recommend that you focus on grammar first. There are a lot of books available in the market. Also there is no substitute for practice. Practice as much as possible. There are books available to target specific areas within verbal section, i would recommend that you go through those as well. Usually reading comprehension is the easiest to target, start with that.

If you have secured an admission in one of IIMs, you should not worry about the minimum salary. Actually salary is the last thing you should worry about. Most people who join IIMs usually re-decide their career choices once they are exposed to the options. Hence for now, just focus on getting into the IIMs. Everything will fall in place later.

If you have received a call from IIMs, you usually have an equal chance of getting in to IIMs and you are not severely disadvantaged. Except few candidates on top, almost everyone who has a call lie in very close range of scores. Hence I would recommend that you don't worry too much about your chances and focus on your preparation for WAT/GD/PI and give your best shot at it.

Yes, it is necessary to speak fluent English for Personal interview. The medium of instruction in all IIMs is English and all the classes are designed to interactive. Also there are a lot of foreign faculty who expect you to communicate effectively in English. To account for these factors, there was a dedicated section in CAT to test your verbal skills. However you should not worry about it too much, as you have already qualified CAT and hence possess certain level of knowledge of English language.

You should opt MBA Finance. Your background will help you in MBA.
