rajeshsaraf : IMT G

soulful : IS IT DIFFICULT TO PERFORM AND BE AMONG THE TOP 20-30 % STUDENTS IN A B SCHOOL WITH A HUGE INTAKE.
krishnendu : It would depend entirely on the caliber of the student. Difficult to generalize. If you work hard, it should not be a problem to be in the top 10 percent.

soulful : IMT G OR CAT 2016..!!!
kapilbhandari : You should consider how much you can score in CAT 16. If you feel you can make it to considerably better B-Schools, then you can go for CAT 16. However, IMT G's avg placement this year was 10+. More importantly, you can retake CAT while being in IMT too.

freddie : SIR I'VE A GOOD PROFILE, DID WELL IN BITS GD.. BUT DIDN'T ANSWER FEW QUESTIONS WELL IN PI.. WILL THAT MAKE HUGE IMPACT IN GETTING SELECTED SIR?

nick : GIM OR KJ SOMAIYA WHICH ONE IS BETTER AND WHY
abhishek : KJ Somaiya would be better considering the batch size, fee, placements(also at par)

aa : SIR, HOW SHOULD ONE PREPARE FOR FMS EXTEMPORE?
supratim : Not much difficult. You have already prepared for GD / WAT . Topics are going to be almost similar if not same. Some tips Listen to the topic carefully. Utilize the 10 seconds effectively by using the time for drawing a preliminary idea about the topic. If needed use the idea generation techniques learnt during the GD classes for generating new ideas ( Key word approach, view point of affected parties and SPELT ). If needed use the idea generation techniques learnt during the GD classes for generating new ideas ( Key word approach, view point of affected parties and SPELT ). Understand that the 1 minute extempore is not much different from speaking 2-3 times back-to-back in a GD. You generate your ideas/points as you do in a GD and deliver them all together in one go in an extempore, as against the case in a GD where you let others speak in between. If you get stuck in the middle, do not panic or give up. You can stay silent for few seconds, gather your thoughts and restart. Err on the side of political correctness for any point, if in doubt. Do not rush through your points. Speak confidently. Modulate your voice and do not be monotonous.

supratim : Please refer the link http://www.time4education.com/cat-mba/maharashtra-cet-2016-expected-cut-offs.aspx

soulful : THESE AVG PLACEMENTS ARE A MIRAGE OR THY ACTUALLY THE SAME
krishnendu : The average placements are an indicator of the over-all quality of the placements in a b-school in terms of package. However, average salary may not show you the correct picture as there might be some very high placements that can skew the average. Secondly, avg salary does not show the kind of profiles being offered or the components liked fixed and variables (target-linked bonus etc) of the packages offered. So pls choose wisely.

r : SIR, IN CASE I CONVERT IIM TRICHY, SHOULD I CHOOSE THAT OVER NMIMS MUMBAI IF FINANCE IS MY INTEREST?
deepak : In the short term, NM will give you a better job prospect than Trichy, especially being in the financial capital of the country. In the long run however, the IIM brand may be considered better. So consider your options and pick one.

basab : ITS GHAZIABAD OR PIBM?
deepak : We do not consider either to be in the top 150 colleges in the country. They are avoidable.

nisha : REVIEWS ABOUT XIMB FULLTIME EXECUTIVE MBA OF ONE YEAR? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE :)
