Going by the trend of last few years, Yes. IIFT Paper is a bit tougher.

The weightage to past acads is not on a higher side.

Hope this helps. All the Best.. :)

Give your best in CAT. All the Best.. 😃

I am having 6 years of IT experience and wanted to change my profile from IT to asset management. How are the prospectus for one year full time executive mba in India for stream change? Is it worth spending that much amount as executive mba is costly compared to 2 year mba? What kind of profiles will we get after completing it?

1. First of all the worthiness depends on the type of institute you do your MBA from. Domain change is of course possible after an MBA but work ex does play an important factor in placements.

2. Seeing your profile what I would suggest is that you take GMAT and try for a management program from an international university. It will help you change your domain and the investment will also be worth it.

3.In India you can try for ISB .

ATB!!

From what i hear: weightage for written score is about 70%. And out of 1000 calls they give, around 750 applicants will be given a chance to join IIFT (including wailist). So written test is very crucial and ofcourse tough too. All the Best

@avinashkrjha

sir i havn't given my sept. attempt..... does that count if feb score is taken by the institute ....???


Should I apply for NIBM,PUNE.And if Yes,through CAT or ATMA?How is the college?Placement?
