[2013-2015] BITS Pilani, MBA Admission Queries (Now from CAT)

@prashanthrpk ok. whats the intake and total fees for 2 yrs excluding hostel???????
@MANC-LONDON those are already mentioned in the previous posts, kindly check them. Total intake is 60. But intake varies each year (That's the catch). Past three batches had 52, 39, 46 students admitted. So nothing is fixed here, as quality is given utmost importance. Prepare well for your interview, and refer the previous posts for information regarding the fees.
@prashanthrpk okk.. does bits provide waiting list??????

Anyway again i am posting it. Fee breakup s given in the admission website-

@MANC-LONDON- Yes the second list which was out after 2 weeks of the release of first one had lowered the cut-offs. This caught me by surprise. I had a pm from some one in PG.

See, in the campus today we have a good number of people who had scored above 90 percentile in their CAT appearances. So, by lowering the cut-off to such a number, they are actually demeaning the value which these people chose to leave behind to put BITS on more par. Since the department has some long term plans for MBA program, they choose CAT. I would very clearly state that your scores would be very relevant this time to make through. Also, your other skills would be considered. I have known the recruiters of BITS being a member of PLACECOM, and it therefore please leave no scope of apprehensions about the quality intake. It never was compromised with BITS HD test, and we don't think they will do it this time. Prepare well. We know we are strong. We have been making it count on all the events across management circle. Scepticism should be put to rest hence forth.

@prashanthrpk - Handle the discussions on interviews dude :)

@VenkatNaveen as u r a present student of bits.. can u tell me what is the avg package last yr(give a genuine frank response) 😃 ..........
@prashanthrpk as u r a present student of bits.. can u tell me what is the avg package last yr(give a genuine frank response)

@MANC-LONDON - No we cannot give you the average package. There are many ways in which people calculate averages - like weighted means , packages offered , packages taken, number of offers based on final converts, median.. blah blah. Its in the institute policy thereby not to give such figures. There is a pdf file in our possession for MBA which institute gives for internal circulation to aid the pitching for campus recruitments which clearly states that use of those figures on public forum could lead to disciplinary actions, thereby posing a threat to our acads. You should understand that. And lastly, we are more than happy to have people who are interested to join. If you are skeptical, please re-consider your decision. ATB!

@VenkatNaveen thanks fr the info..... what percent of the batch has been placed till now\..?? (atleast u could give this info)

Can someone please help me by letting me know whether I have to bring ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS ALONG WITH XEROX COPIES OR JUST THE XEROX COPIES.


thanks

@Apex_Predator - photocopies are what you are told to bring. But bringing originals for interview will look good. Only Once their PS converts are known, complete placement details would be shared.

@prashanthrpk Thank you.That was very valuable information. I have very low score in Cat and i'm one of the lucky ones who got a call. I guess solely on the basis of SOP-

Wrk exp-Bussiness Development

Extra Curricular- 1) Nasa competition- 14th position 2) research pub on wcdma.

My acads are decent- above avg.

I am expecting technical questions bcoz of the research pub. Do they ask questions related to india's economy? or topics such as microeco and macroeco since they wr taught in collg. Also do they ask about preferred mba specialisation?

@Mansi.sf - Since CAT scores, work ex, gd/pi, 10th 12th, graduation percentages are give due weightage, you have a fighting chance to convert it. Prepare well on your plus points- As you have been to Nasa competition, research pub. Prepare well on these fronts. Typical questions like tell me about yourself would be asked. Based on that further questions will be asked. Since you have work ex, you can expect some questions on your job too. Follow current affairs, Read newspapers regularly. Get basic information about current business environment which will help you extremely. No they don't ask. They might ask you which area you are interested and reason behind it. Spl is a choice of yours. You are eligible to opt to any spl here. there is no restrictions from the university as it has a extremely flexible system
@prashanthrpk Thankyou very much! 😃 Im in dire need of this college.
