What r the role of work experience of cat iim colg during cutoff or selection process or FMS colg
After CAT exam every IIM prepares a merit list to call students for next round of interview based on your aggregate score which comprises of many parameters such as CAT marks, 10th, 12th and graduation percentage, work experience, engineer or non-engineer, gender whose weight varies for all different IIMs. In this work-experience weight is generally from 5-10%. There are few IIMs like IIm Bangalore and IIM Kozhikode which gives a little more weight to work experience.
FMS is one of the few among the top reputed colleges which does not have any weight for academic records and work experience. FMS has 85% weight of CAT marks, 10% of the Personal interview, 5% for extempore. And from last 2 years, it has started giving additional 3% weight to girls. So, in short, to get an admission in FMS you need to aim for a very high percentile around 99 percentile to get a call and 99.5+ to be on safe side of getting admission.
Work experience definitely has its perks during selection and also during placements is not mandatory for doing MBA. In every college, there are 20-30% freshers.
