IIM Eligibility

If you are planning for an MBA and willing to switch your job, for now, I would say that the offer is worth a try. Working with one of India's retail giants will definitely add points on your resume and even your prior work experience will be an added advantage. Also, profiles like Store/floor Manager will help you explore more on your inclination towards Operations and Supply Chain Management. This will be very helpful and would give you a more clear understanding when you pursue your MBA. According to my journey in IMT- Nagpur, and having studied Operations as one of my electives I would suggest you can give a try on this offer. My college offers Major specialisation on Operations and you can opt for minors as Business Analytics and IT, Marketing, Finance, HR, Economics or General Management as per your interest. Also, SIOM is one of the finest colleges for Operations Management. You have to secure at least 80 percentile in CAT to get into these colleges, although the cut-off changes every year.

The minimum percentile is dependent on the category one belongs to. The first shortlisting is done roughly on the basis of category for all the students. The academic diversity helps one while calculating the composite score at the end of second round. The composite score is calculated for everyone with extra points for non engineering students. For IIM Lucknow, 5 point weight is given for non engineers this year and for Amritsar, Kashipur and Sirmaur, it is somewhat similar. So if you are a non engineer and you clear the cutoff, you will get a good edge over that engineer with similar profile. But there is not much difference in the cutoff based on academic diversity.
