Hi Manish,
You can try IMI – Bhubaneshwar and BIMTECH. But, there are some pros and cons, which you should check before taking admission through MAT.
1. You should not get manipulated by any free admission agency because they have other interests.
2. You can take a Linkedin tour to find the current alumni and chat with them to take the exact job sustainability as 100% placement does not make any sense without job sustainability.
3. You should not run behind the package.
4. You can check the job profile.

You won't be able to get good colleges. There are some colleges, which conduct their own entrance exam.
All the best.

It depends on the stream you are choosing as in case of finance, for core finance jobs MNCs demand 55-60% in graduation to attempt job interview, but there is less restriction of percentage criteria in marketing jobs.
You should rely on shiksha's college reviews, not on any 'free admission agency'.

It is better to be sure with 80-90 CAT percentile before huge investment and bank loan burden. As colleges generally show you the CTC salary of a placed student, which is not in hand because CTC (cost to company) includes TA, DA, LTC, mediclaim and insurance.

Hi,
IIFT is one of the top institutes / universities in India in the area of international business. SIIB has a good brand image. So, we can consider it after IIFT and then DIMR. I hope I am clear.

PGDM - Rs 3, 60,000 per year (including formal suit, fee for peregrine evaluation, and industry visits).
Average placement is Rs 4.7 lakhs per annum.
Generally, if you get 70 percentile or more in any of the tests, you get a call for GD/PI. Your selection depends on your performance for the same.

You can apply in BIMTECH as the minimum percentile required is 70. It can provides you sustainable job with good salary. You should be updated with current financial news and market news to crack PI.
Good luck.

Yes, you can go for Marketing stream. You must choose the stream in which you have interest. Marketing do have good future scope in the field of Market Research, Digital Marketing and Retail Marketing. You can very well opt for that.
