MBA/PGDM

Dear Megha,
It's not necessary to stay in the hostel, day scholar option is also available.

Yes, you can get admission on the basis of CAT percentage or write KMAT which is Karunya management aptitude test.

KIAMS is mainly good for marketing and finance. Placements are in second place. Dual specialization with marketing and finance is good as you can sit for both placement options.

Depends upon your GD PI performance.
All the best.

The last year's cut-off for MMS closed down to 98%ile for CET and 975ile for ILS seats and 80%ile for minorities. No cut-off for PGDM.

Your choice should depend upon the nature of the job you would like to do or the kind of career you would want to make. However, I would always prefer M.Com first because it would enhance your knowledge of commerce subject that you have chosen and also because MBA can be done even later if you find the need for it. But if you are not interested in making a career related directly to commerce then opt for MBA.

Normally, a higher qualification comes into focus in public sector jobs either at the time of entry (in judging the educational level ) or at the time of promotions, particularly when one of two similar candidates is to be chosen. Besides, education in management would always help in carrying out your duties in a better fashion, particularly when dealing with decision making.
