satyaprakash : First of all, you should have a very good reason for opting for communication management. An MBA in marketing from one of the top 50 colleges will give you good opportunities to follow your dream. You should also apply to MICA which conducts its own test once you write CAT. SIMC is the other option but not one that is highly recommended. St. Xavier's, Mumbai has a very good diploma course. Decide wisely!

nmao : SIR PLS SUGGEST SOME GOOD BOOKS FOR CMAT PRACTICE FOR VA LR DI QA AND GK APART FROM YOUR MATERIAL
lexminair : For VA, the material that we provide is more than sufficient if you complement it with regular reading.

srinivasbelvi : Certainly you'll be treated as a fresher as you do not have any work experience. Secondly, if you can justify the reason for not taking up the job for about an year, you are through.

ricky : I HAVE ATTEMPTED ABOUT 75 QUESTIONS IN SNAP 2014. I'M CONFIDENT OF AT LEAST 90% ACCURACY. CAN I EXPECT CLEARING THE CUTOFF FOR SCMHRD? THANKS!

manfred : SIR, I HAVE A QUERY REGARDING THE SPJIMR FORM. THE LAST QUESTION SAYS -"DO YOU INTEND TO OPT OUT OF THE CAMPUS PLACEMENT PROCESS?" DOES THIS REFER TO OPTING OUT OF THEIR CAMPUS PLACEMENT PROCESS (TO WORK AS AN ENTREPRENEUR) OR DOES IT REFER TO OPTING OUT OF MY COLLEGE'S CURRENT CAMPUS RECRUITMENT PROCESS TO JOIN THE B-SCHOOL?
satyaprakash : The former.

abc : THANKS @PRAKASHRAJPUT SIR
prakashrajput : welcome

ck : XAT FOCUSES ON WHICH TOPICS MAINLY??.. IN QAUNT ??
tanveer : All of CAT plus decision making

pk : IF YOU ARE GOING TO ANSWER THEN I SHOULD WAIT OR SHOULD I ASK MY DOUBT SOME OTHER DAY

thomas : the same cutoff.

kohli : SIR HOW TO GO ABOUT TISS AS AFTER GVING SNAP YESTERDAY I AM REALLY SCARED OF GK.SO , HOW TO GO ABOUT IT AND WHAT OTHER PREP OTHER THAN SNAP IS REQUIRED?
prakashrajput : One thing that stands out in the GK area from SNAP is the coverage of a range of topics - history, civics, economics, awards, sports, international bodies, recent events etc. You should identify the more limited of these areas - areas that can be adequately covered with some effort. The rest is outside one's control.

ellisboyd : SIR PLZ GUIDE ME HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR TISS AM SERIOUS ABOUT IT !

Areas such as number series, letter series, analogies etc should also be prepared from the hand out LRHO 1001506 .

prakashrajput : No special material is needed for TISS prep.

vin : FOR THE FIRST QUESTION ON PIE CHART (FINDING THE NO OF ITEMS THAT HAVE CONSTITUTE MORE THAN 25% OF TOTAL), ANSWERS COULD BE DIFF DEPENDING ON WHETHER ONE TAKES 360 OR 420 AS TOTAL. HOW DO THEY DECIDE?

mk : MY SCORE IN NMAT IS 225. 88QA 62LS 75LR. I GUESS A CALL FROM MUMBAI IS SURE BUT PEOPLE ARE SAYING THE SCORE GUARANTEES 99% FINAL CONVERSION.IS IT SO?

abhi : SATYA SIR, I HAVE ATTENDED MANY OF YOUR LECTURES. CAN YOU PLEASE SHARE THE SECRET OF EFFECTIVE PUBLIC SPEAKING?

mayank : SIR HOW IMPORTANT ARE PROFESSIONAL REFERENCES WHILE FILLING THE FORM??? WHAT IF I DONT PROVIDE ANY?

dnyaneshwar : If you look at level of difficulty for this year's SNAP, it is moderate as compare to previous year. So cutoff will be less than earlier. Overall, a score of 80 or above should be a good for SIBM, 75 for SCMHRD, and 70 for SIBM Bangalore and SIIB.

ricky : THERE'S A LOT OF CONFUSION REGARDING IBS HYDERABAD (DESPITE ITS DECENT RANKING). WILL IT BE WORTH GOING FOR IF AT ALL I RECEIVE A CALL?
deepak : It is a decent option if you are not worried about money and are looking for a good MBA education. Stay away from it if you cannot afford to spend a lot of money, without much chance of a 6+ lpa job later on.

timepowai : ARE SM CRQ N EXERCISE A ENOUGH FOR CET? SHOULD I DO QUESTIONS FROM SET 2( IT IS COMPARATIVELY DIFFICULT) ?

rahul : SIR PLEASE TELL ME I AM EXPECTING NEAR ABOUT 50 TO 60 MARKS IN SNAP PLEASE CAN I GET SSBF PLEASE TELL ME.
satyaprakash : You do stand a fair chance. Keep your fingers crossed. All the best!

roank : I HAVE ATTEMPTED 50 QUESTIONS IN SNAP WITH 85 PERCENT ACCURACY .WHAT PERCENTILE CAN I EXPECT
thomas : it will depend on the score you expect as lr carries 2 marks. 85+ should get you all calls. even a score close to 80 should get you all of them.

dnyaneshwar : Mostly Mid-Feb or 1 st week of March. Wait for Notification.

ayushi : IS FOSTIIMA A GOOD COLLEGE?

alban : SIR,WILL A SCORE OF 80 BE ENOUGH FOR SIBM CONSIDERING THAT LAST YEAR IT WAS CLOSE TO 110?
thomas : this year the paper was much tougher and the choices were close. the scores are going to be generally less than what students expect as chances of mistake are high.so at 80 you have a chance and anything above 85 you can be sure of the call.

abcd : SIR ATTEMPTED 70 QUES IN SNAP. BUT I HAVE ATTEMPTED ONLY 9 QUES IN LR. I HAVE APPLIED FOR SIBM, SIIB,SYMB BANGLORE. SHOULD I APPLY FOR ANY OTHER COLLEGES LIKE SIMS ETC?? ACCURACY MIGHT BE AROUND 75%.
ramachandran : Might help if you fill in SIMS too to be on the safe side

yasmin : URGENT!!!!!!!!HEY!! MY ONLY CHANCE LEFT IS IN FEB CMAT!!! CAN YOU PLEASE GUIDE ME ABOUT THE GOOD BOOKS SINCE I HAVE ALREADY DONE YOUR PRACTICE MATERIAL FOR CAT.. BOOKS FOR QA LR DI VA AND GK!!
rajeshsaraf : At this point of time, the best bet is Study material. For e.g, quants -SM1001501, 507, 509. Go through Concept review questions. For reasoning practice different models of questions related to series, coding decoding, arrangement, calendars, venn diagrams, syllogisms etc. The whole idea is to keep solving questions, learning new concepts on a regular basis

sahib : SIR (IF) ONE HAS PERFORMED REALLY BAD IN GD AND/OR PI IN RESPECTIVE COLLEGES(FOR TOP 25-30 COLLEGES), WILL HE STILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE SEAT IN THE COLLEGE ?
raghavender : It is difficult to define what "bad" means. If the very basic communication goes bad (not speaking, not clear, not audible, not coherent etc) then it is unlikely.

swapnil : WHAT IS THE CUT OFF OF XIM-B THROUGH XAT AND CAT
tanveer : 91

anupam : SIR HOW WOULD YOU RATE IISWBM KOLKATA??ROI PLACEMENTS??

pr : ON THE BASIS OF LAST YEARS XAT PLZ GV SOME IDEA ON CORRECT ATTEMPTS AS IT WILL GV SOME IDEA REGARDING CALL FROM XLRI PLZ SIR
deepak : It would be a foolish strategy as no one, except those who set the paper would know anything about this year's level of difficulty. Would you want to waste your entire preparation based on one pre-meditated strategy?

ashu : CUT OFF FOR BIM TRICHY?
thomas : should be slightly below 90 percentile.

amey : WHAT ABOUT SITM PLACEMENTS?? IS THE COLLEGE GOOD FOR ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS???
dnyaneshwar : Avg package is around 6 lacs. It is a good college for Electronics Engineer. But SIBM, SCMHRD, SIIB AND SIOM are good colleges for you.

sd100 : SIR, I AM INTERESTED IN PURSUING A CAREER AS AN HR. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL THE TOP COLLEGES FOR IT? WHICH ONE WILL BE BETTER, SIBM-PUNE OR SCMHRD(FOR HR)?

cat2014 : WAT TOPICS ARE VERY COMMON IN GD...I MEAN ARE DEY RELATED TO BUSINESS (ECONOMICS)OR ARE THEY ON CURRENT AFFAIRS.I AM MORE INCLINED TOWARDS NMIMS..U CAN GV YOUR ANS CONSIDERING THE PAST..
satyaprakash : Most of the G.D. topics asked during the 2nd round at NMIMS are quite general in nature with each one having an ethical, moral, financial or a human angle.

pri123 : I ATTEMPTED THE PIE CHART CASELET WITH THE CONSIDERATION THAT THE PIE CHART IS OF 360 DEGREE. WOULD THE ANSWERS I GOT BE WRONG?
thomas : two of the ans could be wrong. the last qn and the one for which you would have marked the ans as 3,60,000.

sahib : SIR I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT BY WAT AND PI FOR SNAP COLLEGES, AND WILL ONLY JUST CLEAR THE CUT OFF FOR SIBM-P/SCMHRD.WHAT WILL BE MY REAL CHANCES OF GETTING A SEAT THERE ?

asi : SIR CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN ME THE PROCESS OF MICA ADMISSION. DO THEY REQUIRE A MINIMUM CAT/XAT PERCENTILE OR IT ENTIRELY MATTERS ON MICAT?
satyaprakash : MICA used to have the CAT cut-off of around 90 till 2009. After that, all they have been asking for is that you write CAT to be eligible for MICAT. It's your MICAT score that is more important. Focus on XAT & do well so that you get a psychological boost for MICAT. All the best!

karan : SIR, I GOT 207 IN NMAT. ANY CHANCES OF GETTING A CALL FROM MUMBAI?
thomas : very tough to say.the total cutoff is expected to be around 205-208. make sure the section scores are also cleared.

aa : SIR, DO WE HAVE TO APPLY SEPERATELY FOR EACH INTITUTE OF NMAT AUR JUST GIVING THE EXAM IS ENOUGH???

prachi : AS LOT OF STUDENTS HERE ARE TALKING ABOUT CL SNAP ANSWER KEY. IS IT RELIABLE?

thomas : so your attempts are for 82 marks. the top 2 are pretty much ruled out as one cannot expect an accuracy close to 100. you have a chance for siib and sibm blore if the accuracy is pretty high( at least 90).

abcd : @RAMACHANDRAN SIR SHOULD I GO FOR SIMS ONLY. I MEAN IS THERE ANY COLLEGE BETTER THAN SIMS AFTER THOSE I HAVE APPLIED FOR TILL NOW( SIBM, SIIB,SYMB BANGLORE)?
