@avinashkrjha what is expected cut-off for nirma for fresh BBA STUDENT??
last year it was 80%tile. 😃
Cut off was common for all students. :)
nothing can be predicted about this year's cut off, it depends on various factors and number of applicants is one of them . 😃
@BHATIADEEPAK02 @missionCAT13

Nirma Cut Off was 80%ile with 50%ile as sectionals and probably 95 with No Sectionals.

Cut off could be in the range of 80-85 this time around.. !!
@BHATIADEEPAK02

Decline is because of the fall in number of applicants.

Even the CAT Test Takers has reduced in the past few years. So value of %ile has increased.. !!
@BHATIADEEPAK02 said:
PLEASE HELP mewhat is the minimum no. of attempts in xat to get 90%ile in all sections..
Sir, percentile score doesn't depend on number of attempts. so no one can say how many questions one should attempt to get above 90%tile. moreover, this is inappropriate thread for such question.. :)
@ansh12345 bro it is confusing plz help
I m not able to understand the criteria for admissions of IIMs. I have been thru' many pages of last year's admission related queries regarding IIM Indore. Some guys who are getting
overall 99.45%ile
qa 99%ile
va 97%ile
10th : 93%
12th : 90%

Hello guys, I am from Army background. My age is 31 years. I have 5 years of Work experience in BPO's and now I want to change industry and want to work in some good profile. My current package is 4.5 Lacs. I have an option to take admission in Symbiosis institute of management studies which is for army wards. I don't get much time to study along with my job. It would be difficult for me to crack CAT for top 20 B-schools. I can try for 1 year full time MBA for executives but its very expensive. Can some one suggest me some good institution which has fee around 4 lac to 10 lac. for 1 year MBA.


Will it be right decision to take admission in Symbiosis institute of management studies for 2 year MBA programme at this age. I visited the site of SIMS, pune, Avg package of SIMS pune is 8.49 Lac. Can i get good profile with gud package by studying in SIMS at this age.

Please guide me. I can only study for 2 hours every day not more than that. I am aiming for CAT 2013.

Please help me what should be the right decision for me???????????????

Thanx.

Hello everyone, Please guide me. Need some more suggestions.

@singhnirbhay I don't think there are any 1 year MBA programmes in India or abroad in that fees range (4-10lakhs)!! There may be exceptions but then a question also arises on the reliability and benefit of doing the programme (Not that the question is not there for others, but for this category it is more of a concern)!!

With almost 5 years work exp I wouldn't recommend a 2 year MBA programme except from the top 10-20 institutes like IIM A, IIM B, IIM C, SPJAIN, FMS, XLRI etc. I had a batch mate who had 5year work exp and he was quoted as "over-qualified" for many jobs that were offered on campus, finally fed up of it he withdrew from placement process and he's now working at a salary of around 4-5lakhs, after MBA!! The average placement figures can be quite misleading in your case!!

Else take the plunge, go for GMAT, and take an admission in any 1 year programme by taking an education loan. You'll definitely get good placements post MBA in a better profile but PROBABLY in same industry. You can then switch industry after 1-2 years when you're in a people management role. Some of the 1 year programmes in India are listed at http://www.pagalguy.com/posts/4246458. Please do further research before you decide to join any of them.

Your friend must be from one of the reserved categories, i can't find any other reason for him getting a call from an IIM. Check his background once :)

Last year SPM's cut off was around 78%tile,
And I thin you stand some chances proving you get above 80%tile.
K J somaiya's cut off was 80%tile for PGDM IB.

@ansh12345 he is from general category bro....! my uncle's son..!
@sayanfrndz AFAIK, mess fee is usually separate, based on type of food you want (veg/non-veg). Still you can confirm from the specific institute thread that you are looking for.
