How can a graduated aspirant with a year drop improvise her resume for IIM Ahmedabad?

Get yourself a good internship during your summer/winter break. Another effective way is to participate in a student exchange program. Make your profile unique by identifying your passions and pursuing them. The interviewers might get more impressed by your extraordinary talents than by your academic performance. Complete extra courses out of College from Coursera, edX, Udemy, etc to showcase your learning instincts. In this age of online platforms, it’s vital to be active with a great online profile. You can start your own blog, or a Youtube channel, or have a strong Quora profile. Learning a new language. It’s better to learn more than 3 languages as it adds to the credibility of your profile.

For GEM, the CAT percentiles required to get an interview call from IIM Blackis, FMS, SP Jain, JBIMS, and MDI Gurgaon are ABC and FMS: Both institutes required nothing less than 99.5. Those who get admission at a lesser percentile, usually don’t belong to the GEM category. There are many who don’t even get a call with 99.3.

IIM Indore and Kozhikode: Both the institutes require percentiles around 97.5 for an interview call SPJIMR: This Institute has unique selection criteria under which CAT is given less value and calls are issued on the basis of the candidate's profile.

IIM A - Dream B school

As you may be aware, the Indian Institute of Ahmedabad is one of the top ten universities in the world studying management, as well as the top one university in India as a NIRF university related to management. I chose IIM Ahmedabad because it is one of the best in terms of curriculum activity and placement package. The admission process in this institution is filling out a CAT (Common Admission Test) application, passing the exam, and receiving a call from the Institute regarding the GD/PI sections, with the GD/PI score determining your final selection.Yes there are reservation benefits.

IIM Ahmedabad Good Aspects: Excellent education facilities offered to students, along with 100 percent placement record, top NIRF rankings among the top colleges in states, and very structured course curriculum. The faculty-student ratio is 2:1. The end-term exams are practical knowledge-based rather than theoretical knowledge however thay are quite easy if students pay attention in lectures.

IIM A ; MBA stalwarts!

The Course requires a minimum requirement of a three- or four-year bachelor's degree. The CAT, or common aptitude exam, is used in the admissions process. A person who meets the college's cutoff will be invited to take the AWT (Aptitude Written Test) and the PI (Personal Interview). The exam has three sections: verbal ability, logical thinking, and numeric aptitude. The procedure is simple and quick.

The course content is highly industry-focused and tough. Faculty members are highly qualified, with a minimum of ten years of expertise. The student-to-teacher ratio is around 75:1. We have course organisers as well, and we may contact them at any moment in the event of an emergency. The term examinations consist mostly of case studies based on presentations. The end-of-term examinations are not difficult if you pay attention in class and pay attention to the professors.
