Ans. JBIMS is a well-known management institute located in Mumbai, Maharashtra. The cut-off for JBIMS through CAT, XAT, and CET for Maharashtra people varies each year and depends on various factors such as the difficulty level of the exam, the number of applicants, etc. Here are some approximate cut-off scores for JBIMS through CAT, XAT, and CET for Maharashtra people: CAT: The approximate cut-off percentile for JBIMS through CAT for Maharashtra candidates is 95+ percentile. XAT: The approximate cut-off percentile for JBIMS through XAT for Maharashtra candidates is 85+ percentile. CET: The approximate cut-off score for JBIMS through CET for Maharashtra candidates is 135+ out of 200. These are approximate cut-offs, and the actual cut-offs may vary from year to year. Also, meeting the cut-off is just the first step towards getting into JBIMS, and the selection process involves several other factors such as academic performance, work experience, group discussion, and personal interviews. It is advisable to prepare well and aim for a high percentile or score to increase your chances of getting admission to JBIMS. Read more
Ans. Institutions such as Times and Career Launcher offer study material for national level tests, which may also be useful for the MAH CET exam. They’re both well-known coaching institutes for MBA entrance exams in India and have a reputation for providing quality study material. Self-study and consistent practice can also be effective in cracking the exam. Additionally, staying updated with current affairs and having strong analytical and reasoning skills can be helpful in achieving a high score. Read more
Ans. The required percentile to get into JBIMS varies every year and is dependent on the difficulty level of the entrance test. For OMS or all-India seats, the process is straightforward. You take the CET/MAT/ATMA/CMAT/CAT/XAT exams and apply with your score. Students who score high in CAT and XAT exams usually go to IIMs and XLRI, leaving students who applied with the remaining exams. To have a chance of getting into JBIMS, you need to score a percentile of at least 99.98 in any of the exams. For Sydenham and Somaiya, a score of 99.95+ percentile is ideal, and a score of 99.9+ percentile offers you a fighting chance of being accepted. Read more
Ans. In order to crack the MBA CET exam, it is important to have a thorough understanding of the different types of questions that are asked in the exam. To gain this understanding, it is recommended that you write several CET mock tests. This is because the CET exam follows a standard pattern, and by writing these mock tests, you can familiarize yourself with the type of questions that are typically asked. It is common for 80% to 90% of the types of questions in the CET exam to be repeated from previous years. It is therefore recommended that you focus your efforts on these types of questions first. When writing the mock tests, you should assess your strengths and weaknesses. If you are targeting JBIMS, it is important that you do not have any weak areas. To achieve this, it is necessary to practice and become comfortable with any areas where you struggle. After writing the mock tests, it is important to analyze them thoroughly. One important metric to focus on is your "Marks per minute." In the CET exam, you should aim to score an average of 0.9 marks per minute. In some areas, you may score higher, while in others, you may score lower. However, you should strive to ensure that you do not score less than 0.7 marks per minute in any specific area. For areas where you score less than 0.7 marks per minute, focus on improving either your accuracy or speed, depending on the type of questions. It is also recommended that you regularly modify your strategy and determine which strategy works best for you. The CET exam does not have sectional time limits, so strategy plays a crucial role in improving your scores. Read more
Ans. You will find many students who have performed poorly in the Common Admission Test (CAT) but were successful in the CET and ended up in JBIMS. One such example is a girl student who received a profile-based call from SP Jain, but to attend the interview, one had to score a minimum of 85 percentile or higher in either the CAT or XAT. Unfortunately, the student scored less than the 85 percentile in both exams. However, she took the CET seriously, put in a lot of practice, and became familiar with the types of questions. As a result, they managed to secure a top 10 rank in the CET and got admitted to JBIMS. It is important to note that a speed-based test like the CET is quite different from a logic-based exam like the CAT or XAT, and hence the preparation and attempt strategy must be different. Read more
Ans. As a student who has taken a 4-year gap in education, it is important to acknowledge that it is not ideal. However, eligibility to be admitted to JBIMS requires a minimum of 60% in your 10th and 12th grades and a strong performance in the CET exam. Getting admitted to JBIMS can be challenging, especially if you do not have a reservation and are not a Mumbai-domicile student. Currently, the rules tend to favor Mumbai domicile students. However, this may change in the future, and it is difficult to predict the exact requirements. A recent example showcases the challenges that students from outside of Mumbai may face when trying to get admitted to JBIMS. A student from outside of Mumbai with a score of 99.96 percentile and a state rank of 32 was unable to get admitted to JBIMS due to not being a Mumbai domicile. If facing difficulty in getting admitted to JBIMS, it is recommended to consider alternative colleges like Sydenham or KJ Somaiya, which also have a good reputation. Read more
Ans. Assuming you have written the CAT exam and now looking to prepare for MBA CET, here is a detailed plan you can follow: To begin with, you should write a mock MBA CET paper to familiarize yourself with the syllabus and understand the new type of questions in CET compared to CAT. The MBA CET exam has some new areas compared to CAT, such as Visuals, Logic, and Verbal questions. To prepare for these areas, you can use different books available in the market, such as those for banking exams. After initial preparation, it is recommended to write mock exams at regular intervals. This will help in developing familiarity with the exam and increase speed, which is important in a speed-based test like CET. After each mock exam, it is important to analyze your performance and identify your strengths and weaknesses. Focus on improving areas that need improvement before writing the next mock exam. Repeat this process of writing mock exams, analyzing your performance, and improving areas of weakness, until you feel confident and well-prepared for the MBA CET exam. It is important to note that MBA CET is a speed-based exam, unlike CAT which is logic-based. In MBA CET, you are required to solve 200 questions in 150 minutes, which means an average of 45 seconds per question. So, the focus should be on increasing speed while solving questions and improving familiarity with the test. Read more
Ans. With seven weeks available for preparation for the MBA CET, the following can be your plan to get into JBIMS: For the first three weeks: You should spend three days a week writing mock exams and analyzing the results. Your focus should be to improve your methods for solving questions and to practice the areas where you need additional attention. Try to improve your accuracy and reduce the time it takes to solve the questions. On the remaining days, spend time practicing what you need to improve. Your daily schedule on the day you take mock exams: Dedicate 2.5 hours to writing the mock exam. Devote 5-6 hours to analyzing the mock, including solving each question and finding better ways to solve it. Your daily schedule on the days you do not take mock exams: Spend 1-hour practicing logic (puzzles and non-puzzles). Dedicate 30 minutes to 1 hour to practicing abstract reasoning. Dedicate 30 minutes to 1 hour to practicing data interpretation. Note: These three sections make up almost 50% of the total marks. Spend 4-5 hours practicing other areas as needed. It is also important to follow the daily routine: Spend 1 hour reading. Devote 15 minutes to calculation practice. For the last five weeks: Shift your focus to building a strategy. Write 5 mock exams per week and analyze the results thoroughly. Your focus should be to find the best strategy that works for you. Your daily schedule can be: Dedicate 2.5 hours to writing a mock exam. Devote 4 hours to analyzing the mock exam. In addition to finding better methods, your focus should be on developing a strategy for the test. Spend 1-hour practicing areas that require additional attention. Spend 1 hour reading. Dedicate 15 minutes to calculation practice. Read more
Ans. You do not need work experience as a factor for selection. Only a good score on the Common Entrance Test (CET) is sufficient. It is likely that the same process will be followed next year as well. The only exception to this was during the 2015 admissions where work experience was considered, as the admission process included Written Ability Test (WAT), Group Discussion (GD), and Personal Interview (PI). However, it is advisable for you to have some work experience as it will assist you in having a deeper understanding of the subjects covered in your MBA program. The lack of work experience may or may not impact your chances of securing a good job placement. To gain further insight on this matter, it is recommended that you read my answer on the topic of whether freshers are able to secure good job placement. Read more
Ans. To begin the MBA/CET preparations to get into JBIMS, you need to familiarize yourself with the paper pattern, if it is your first time writing the exam. You should also have a complete understanding of the syllabus and be able to recall each topic in detail. Examine previous year's papers to get a better idea of the exam pattern and the weightage given to each topic. Approximately 90% of the questions in the CET exam are taken from banking exams such as IBPS PO, SBI PO, and Canara Bank PO, which are conducted by the Institute of Banking and Personnel Selection (IBPS). The CET exam is also conducted by the IBPS since 2016. Note that the IBPS is known for tweaking sections and introducing new question types in their banking exams, but these changes may or may not be introduced in the CET due to the lower number of applicants. To prepare for CET, you should start by establishing a clear understanding of each topic. Conceptual clarity is essential as even if you practice many questions, a lack of understanding will impede your progress. Next, focus on solving easy questions for each topic as this will lay the foundation for solving more difficult questions. After building a solid foundation, take mock tests to simulate the real exam environment and familiarize yourself with the time constraints. You should aim to take at least 30 to 40 mock tests and analyze each one in detail. Quality mock tests include Oliveboard, Testfunda, and IMS. To maximize your preparation, avoid watching too much free content, read for at least an hour every day, devote quality time to your studies, and stop procrastinating. Develop a habit of finding the meaning of unfamiliar words, complete Word Power Made Easy, and do not join any classes as you can do it yourself. You can also request electronic study material. Stay away from negative environments. Read more
