@[83412:sb29]: hey some questions
for iim b, do we have to write only RAT, not CAT???????
Hi puys,
Here goes my profile:
10th: 86.17%
12th: 67.17%
B. Tech (Industrial Biotechnology): 9.08 out of 10 CGPA
Work-ex: Currently working in an IT company 1+ year
Good extra curricular background in both school and college.
Please guide me what chances do I have considering my profile.
I think they accept other standardised test scores such as CAT and GMAT. I don't knw if RAT is compulsory for everyone. You can PM @[190634:swagato1987] or @[538048:Dhaswe]. They are currently at IIMB
Yes, at IIMB, RAT is compulsory for everyone, as IIMB also accepts applications without any scores. Some areas like Public Policy and Finance had subject based written exams as well other than RAT.
@[538048:Dhaswe]: wow thats nice!
subject based test will be good!
what specialization are u in?????
actually how is the faculty, im interested in finance, eco domain, but where will i get a good faculty for the same?
and also im assesing ISB along with FPM! i think ISB is better, what say???????
Thanks to sb29 and you
Hey puys,
My profile is as follows:
X: 90.26% (Maha State)
XII: 90.83% (Maha State)
Grad: 71.28% (B Tech Pharma Chem and Tech)
Completed a research project to develop a novel drug delivery system for site specific delivery of a drug. Have presented a poster on the same topic at an international conference.
I have been working for the past year in the patent cell of a generic agrochemicals company.
Taken the GRE in 2009. Score 1470/1600 although my AWA score was pretty low (4/6)
I am interested in fpm with specialization in strategy. Planning to apply to IIM A, B, C, ISB and XLRI. Although extremely keen on ISB and IIM B as there are faculty members doing research in health care. I intend to do research in the same field
I would like to know if I stand a chance at getting into the field I have chosen and also if the lack of an MBA and fewer yrs of work ex will be a barrier?

Your profile is good enough.
One thing you will be asked is why you intend to do research in management instead of your own subject. Fact that you are applying to Public policy may answer that to some extent. But still prepare a good answer.
Your GRE score is old. You will have to take a fresh test. Also different areas in different institutes have specific test requirements. Do check if GRE is accepted.
@[502038:myapprentice11] got into IIMA this year in the PSG group. He had 2 years of work ex.
@[591788:chiraxjr]
I had gotten offers from ISB (IS) as well as IIMB (IS as well as Marketing). I had chosen IIMB due to personal reasons.
At ISB the first 2 year course work is covered by INSEAD. You get oppty to go to Spore / France campus for some terms and rest are supposed to be covered at Hyd campus thro Video conferencing.
To my knowledge IIMB and ISB are the only 2 places for FPM/Phd where 1st year course work is not tied to PGPs. I am not sure of IIT - Phd. At IIMB though you get a chance to do PGP courses as well if interested, as breadth courses (4 required breadth course)
Based on my interactions during interviews/follow ups, I find faculties at both these places extremely good.
Go through their websites, look at faculty profiles and research and decide. I found ISB website more up to date with faculty research compared to IIMs.

@[410747:aurora1942] One thing you will be asked is what happened in std 12! Have an answer ready.
Apart from that your profile is good enough for most institutes. For the top institutes, maybe some research project/paper you have done, or a very high CAT score may make you competitive. Do you have any particular subject in mind?
@[538048:Dhaswe]: thanks for the info! amd congo
i think you got it right that ISB and IIM B are the only one where 1yr course is not PGP, and especially i like the IIM b : REC, DAC, that is the most important thing for research!
okay so, how about a researcher @ ISB and then pursue a PHD from foreign university! i believe one cannot get better resources than what we have in good foreign university! as getting in to a good foreign coll is a bit difficult!
and lastly i would like to confirm that we write RAT and then we go for area specific test as in case of IIMB, am i right here????????
@[591788:chiraxjr]
You have not posted your profile.
Most foreign universities require only a 4 year bachelors degree but prefer a masters degree. Almost 99% people from India pursuing PhD abroad hold a masters degree. The ones who don't are IIT toppers.
In case you have a masters degree, you can RA at ISB. This experience will prove extremely beneficial in case you are applying abroad.
Thanks @[83412:sb29]. I intend to take CAT and XAT this year. So hoping I will get good scores
@[83412:sb29] : 10: 80 12: 87 btech mech 67 mba marketing 67 then in AC nielsen-TCS-2 years now!
yes thats what i was thinking anf my friends also told me the same, that i should take up a research profile before going for a PHD! though i want it from the foreign univ as they are actually good from research perspective! what say???
and lastly i would like to confirm that we write RAT and then we go for area specific test as in case of IIMB, am i right here????????again

Getting a research role at a foreign university is tough. ISB has the best research record and facility in India. So the experience will be beneficial. You may want to read this.
Do universities accept GRE scores for PhD applicants? Any exam other than GMAT, that one may appear for getting into PhD in phoren universities?
Thanks in advance!

Many universities do. Many don't. GRE is more common in econ and mktg programs. GMAT is accepted everywhere. GRE and GMAT are the two test scores which universities generally accept for business PhD
@[83412:sb29]: thanks
actually i was planning to go for a role of researcher in CAF, ISB and there on one can go for the PHD in foreign university! is that feasible!
and again one more doubt: and lastly i would like to confirm that we write RAT and then we go for area specific test as in case of IIMB, am i right here????????again

As I said, I have limited knowledge of the IIMB process as I never applied there. I had applied to only A and ISB.
About ISB, it is a good idea. But, foreign universities also look at your past academic records, the reputation of your masters program/institute, GMAT scores etc. So, keep that in mind while applying.
@[83412:sb29]: thanks man!
well let me also give you some advice!
i found IIMb good as they have good course rile REC, etc etc that you will need for the research work!
if you could learn software like r, sas, stata etc etc they will be immensely helpful!
and are you from finance background??????then you would have to start with time series and all as they take a lot of time to understand and stuff!

Hey. Thanks. But your advice is coming a bit late. I have already started my PhD somewhere else. See my signature. :)
