Hi Ruchi, I think you have a decent chance for both the institutes, considering your NAT score and past academic performances as well. For further details, please look into - NMAT cutoff 2018.

Dear Harsh, 

Since you are asking about MBA colleges, I presume that you are currently pursuing an undergraduate programme at ISBF. Now coming to your question, the ISBF website itself mentions that: 

" In the recent past, ISBF students have successfully secured admission to the postgraduate programmes offered at various institutes of excellence (based in India) such as the Indian School of Business (ISB), Hyderabad; IIM Shillong; and Madras School of Economics (MSE).

However, since some Indian colleges and government job applications may insist on a UGC recognised undergraduate degree, ISBF offers all undergraduate students the option to enrol for a UGC-recognised degree programme with IGNOU. Completing this programme will ensure that students meet the eligibility criteria for any government jobs and postgraduate programmes in India." 

So, going by above assertion, it is likely that if you apply to Indian School of Business (ISB), Hyderabad; IIM Shillong; and Madras School of Economics (MSE), you can get an admission. Moreover, you could write to the admission units of these schools to get more clarity. 

One pointer, while going for postgraduation, especially in case you are looking for any government job options, you should try to get into a degree programme recognized by UGC. This should open the doors for that irrespective of your UG degree. 

Hope it helps. 

Students seeking admission to IsBFfor MBA need to apear for imET entry exam and personal interview round for selection  

Candidates with CaT or XAT score above 80 percentile and GMAT score above 600 are exempted from IMET emtrance test. 

Hi Deepika,

ISB is better than IIM-A but the problem is that for ISB you need a minimum of 5-year pre-MBA experience and the program is for 1 year however for IIM-A there are no such criteria. IIM-A has both regular 2-year program and also 1-year executive program. If you have options then for regular 2-year MBA go for IIM-A and for 1-year executive MBA it's ISB any day.

Good Luck!

Hello,

Yes GATE score is valid for the Fellow Programme in Management (FPM) which has been designed for individuals who have a passion for research and learning and are keen to pursue an academic career.

Eligibility for the same is:

Candidates must hold a university degree from an accredited academic institution. Applicants typically should have an undergraduate/postgraduate degree in areas such as business, economics, engineering, computer sciences, mathematics, physics or the arts.

Procedure:

Applications are invited from the interested candidates. The Admissions Committee reviews these applications in the month of March.

The candidates are offered admission to the FPM program based on the application itself. Though, some candidates may be called for an interview in order to get more clarity about their application.

However, there are no such minimum marks given to get a seat in the ISB. It entirely depends on the number of people applying through GATE for the same!

Hope this helps you!
