IIM Raipur All Questions

The Indian Institute Of Managements(IIMs) do not have fixed seat allocations for their Post Graduate Programme(PGP) as their student intake keeps on changing every year. Specifically, for IIM Raipur, the student intake for the batch of 2021-23 was 262, and for the batch of 2022-24, it is 325. The number is expected to rise with each subsequent batch.

Ashish, IIMs do not accept MAT scores. Admission to IIMs is only done through CAT scores followed by WAT and PI rounds. There are many other colleges in India which accept MAT scores such as:

• UPES, Dehradun
• SPJIMR, Mumbai
• Christ University
• VIT, Vellore
• NIT Wrangal
• New Delhi Institute of Management

Thankyou!

Hey Vasu

Getting shortlisted depends on your CAT percentile, WAT and personal interview. If you have a good record of academics then that would be a plus point. All these factors will help you in the IIMs' selection.

Looking at your factors, honestly, the chances exist but less. There are many candidates that don't opt for admissions or chose some other institutions, in that case your chances will increase automatically.

All the best

Dear Rahul, you mentioned that you are a Hotel Management Graduate but haven't mentioned your aggregate in Bachelor's degree. If you belong to General Category or OBC, you should secure a minimum aggregate of 55% and it is 50% for SC,ST,PWD Categories. Now for being eligible for M.Sc Statistics, you should have studied Statistics atleast for 2 years in your Bachelor's degree. Now PGPMWE is a Post Graduation course and that is not considered while evaluating your eligiblity criterIa. So unfortunately, even if you scored the aggregate required against your Category, if you haven't studied Statistics in your Bachelor's degree, you are not eligible for JAM 2020.

Hi Akash,

Thanks for asking careers360,

Yes, you can pursue MBA after B.SC . Eligibility for MBA in good reputed Universities is approximately 50% marks in your bachelor's degree + you may have to qualify some entrance test and an interview, depending on the university you choose.

You can pursue your MBA in different streams like Information technology, Hospital and Healthcare Management, International Business, Tourism and hospitality, Supply chain and logistics, Financial markets, Banking and insurance, E-Commerce or you can go for MBA (HONS) also.

So you can choose any of the above-mentioned streams according to your interest.

There are a number of good universities for MBA in India. Some of the features of a good university are good practical and industrial exposure, good placements, skill development programs, professional enhancement training and exposure to its students and along with this how much scholarship is provided by the university to the students.

I am having my brother in Lovely Professional University, he is pursuing MBA. He just checked all the factors which I have mentioned above and seems like he has taken the right decision. He has been given a huge amount of scholarship along with this if we come to the university, infrastructure is good, teachers are friendly, he has to attend various workshops, making his knowledge increase to a large extent. He is currently in the last semester. Around 4 months are left and he has already been placed on a good salary package.

I hope it helps.
