Hello Mr.Gaurav,
You can definitely apply based on your percentile in CAT & XAT where your work experience will be an added advantage in the selection process.
Wish you all the best.

Hello Rohit,
For getting admission in Indian Institute of Forest Management( IIFM), one needs to appear for CAT or XAT. If one scores the requisite percentile (which differs according to categories), one will have to appear for GD and PI. Based on GD PI and other credentials, one will be given admission to the institute. One of the cut-off criteria is the percentage in class 10th, 12th and graduation which should be a minimum of 50% in each for general category and a minimum of 45% for other categories.
Wish you good luck.

Hello Gaurav,
There is no prescribed format for SOP but it should focus on your strengths, achievements, experiences and interest and how these could be related to PGDFM course at the institute. All the points written in SOP should be justifiable if asked in the interview.
Wish you luck!

Hello Ajeya,
PI will have questions mostly from your WAT and graduation. If you have work experience then questions from the same will be asked. Also views on some current issue may be asked upon.
All the best!

Hello Vikas,
Sorry for the delay. It is not an issue if you do not have the admit card but in case you get the call for interview then you need to produce CAT score card at the time of interview.
Wish you luck.

Hello Pankaj,
You can be a part of the institute after clearing the percentile cut-off for CAT or XAT and WAT-PI. Work experience will not be a hurdle but questions in interview may be based on it.
Wish you luck.
