rutvik : SIR THE PLACEMENT REPORT OF IIM AHMEDABAD FABM IS SHOWING THE FIGURES LESS THAN 21LPA
lakshmymenon : Do not worry much about the exact average package. After all, there will be wide variations within the range. Focus on the brand value, quality of education and above all, your interest.

s : SHOULD I START ONLINE COURSERA COURSES TO ADD TO THE RESUME FOR INTERVIEWS
lakshmymenon : Courses can give you stuff to talk about in the PI, especially if you do not have many extra-curriculars or "achievements" to mention.

ak : KJ SOMAIYA OR TAPMI FOR NON ENGINEER FRESHER?
lakshmymenon : TAPMI has a slight edge on most of the parameters.

shikhar : 98.10%ILE IN CAT, 8/9/8 IN ACADS NC-OBC, WHAT ARE CHANCES TO CONVERT IIM C, SJMSOM AND FMS?
bharat : depends on test score, PI performance, academic and work profiles, overall attitude... test score is good!

adeeba : : 82.16 PERCENTILE. GENERA. FEMALE. UNDERGRADE IN ARTS. IIM SHILLONG HAS 75 PERCENTILE AS SECTIONAL CUT OFF AND I HAVE CLEARD IT. THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT SELECTION PROCEDURE. SHOULD I EXPECT A CALL? AND SHOULD I APPLY TO IIT ROORKEE?
amitkalyanpur : You would like to apply. Keep all your options open...Ultimately, you would get to choose the best one for yourself.

yugvi : HOW MUCH FOCUS WILL BE ON ENGINEERING SUBJECTS FOR A FRESHER? WILL THEY ASK A FAVORITE SUBJECT OR NOT?
