The IIM B test for getting into a fellowship program which is also known as RAT is difficult. It can be challenging if you haven’t prepared for CAT/GMAT/GRE/JRF in the past or took any kind of prep course. The examination includes theory questions from specific areas of Game Theory, Calculus, or other advanced techniques from standard undergrad syllabus but the examination syllabus isn’t limited to these topics. 

IIM B test isn’t an aptitude test like CAT. As these are area-specific tests, a good weightage is given to the test score for evaluation.

  • Read newspapers, Finance magazines, watch news and discussion-based programs to stay updated. 
  • You must know everything about the degree and institute. This way, you will be ready to answer questions like ‘Why MBA?’, and ‘What do you know about IIMB?’.

Admit your weakness - 

During the interview, if you don’t know an answer to a question, admit it, rather than guessing. 

Don’ts for the interview - 

  • It’s natural to be nervous, but don’t make it obvious. Also, don’t be overconfident.

While answering a question, try to make an impression that can prompt the interviewers to ask you the next question. This lead can be about some educational achievement, a project in which you have shown leadership skills, or a subject of which you have in-depth knowledge. But this should be done subtly.

Honestly speaking, your academic record is average and even a very high percentile might not necessarily be enough to get a call for admission.

IIM Bangalore especially focuses a lot on Past Academics. In the initial shortlisting, the 12th and 10th marks are given 15% weightage each which combined is quite a lot. During the final shortlisting, 10th and 12th marks are given 10% weightage each. So the only thing you can do is 

  • Work really hard and score a very high CAT percentile, something around 99.5+
  • Target other IIMs
  • Performance during the Personal Interview 

You can go for other top B Schools like FMS and XLRI who give very little importance to past academics.

Decision Sciences is intensive Mathematics based field of study. To pursue this course you need to have a strong grasp of Statistics and Operations Research. For doctoral research, these are the areas that you need to study for your doctoral research. 

Based on what I heard from my friends who attended the interview for FRM, I will say the interviewers are more concerned about your research aptitude and acumen in Mathematics rather than work experience. Relevant work experience can help your profile but it's not mandatory.

In terms of course structure, faculty, and learning resources, IIM Bangalore Executive program is top-notch. This program is great for people who are self-motivated or sponsored by the company. 

  • You will learn from the same faculties that teach degree programs. In the executive program, faculties often teach their latest research. 
  • The course curriculum is meticulously designed for the problems and challenges that you will face in your industry or job role. 
  • The peer learning opportunities are great. You will share your lectures with experienced professionals. 

There are no such placement opportunities after completing an executive MBA. But through the IIM Bangalore Executive MBA program, you will get the opportunity to network with accomplished professionals from your industry. You can use the network to get references for jobs in the future. The skills that you will learn in the executive program are greatly valued in the job market.

For GEM, the CAT percentiles required to get an interview call from IIM Blackis, FMS, SP Jain, JBIMS, and MDI Gurgaon are 

  • ABC and FMS: Both institutes required nothing less than 99.5. Those who get admission at a lesser percentile, usually don’t belong to the GEM category. There are many who don’t even get a call with 99.3. So to stay on the safer side, go for nothing less than 99.5.
  • IIM Indore and Kozhikode: Both the institutes require percentiles around 97.5 for an interview call
  • SPJIMR: This Institute has unique selection criteria under which CAT is given less value and calls are issued on the basis of the candidate's profile. The CAT percentile required in this case is less than the normal if you have a good academic profile along with work experience,
  • MDI: This institute issues calls around the 96% mark.

It’s important to know that these figures are based on trends and not on actual data so you will find exceptions everywhere. Moreover, it’s better you don’t waste time analyzing the CAT cutoff and start preparing for the same.
