Course Curriculum Overview:

I am a part of the PGP course at IIMB, it doesn't have any specialization and gives you an opportunity to explore your interest. The coursework is well structured with live projects in all the subjects. It gives an opportunity to network with an ambitious peer groups.

Remarks:

The admission process consisted of CAT, WAT, and PI. As a part of the admission process, we also had to submit an SOP and ask two references to submit a recommendation form. We don't need a LOR but we have to ask our recommendation to submit a questionnaire that has both objectives as well as open-ended questions.

The placements are very good with 100% of students getting placed. The summer placement process begins in the first year itself around August & the placement week is in early November for summer internships. The final placements happen in late January to early February of the second year. A lot of renowned names come to the campus for placements and students receive offers in their desired domains.

This is then followed by a Writing Assessment (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI).

we have summers, laterals, and finals. summers happen for 1st-year students and laterals for 2nd years who satisfy the criteria of minimum work ex and finals for all 2nd years. IIM B boasts one of the best placement statistics with a median hovering around 31 Lakhs per annum. we have the best companies in the domains of consulting, marketing, finance, Gen Man, Analytics, Prod Man, and many others. some companies are BCG, Bain, Google, TAS, ABG, Nestle, P&G, HUL, and American Express.

Remarks:

I have given the CAT exam, and after that, most of the IIMs gave shortlists for the further process. IIM B, K, L, and CAP are the major ones. all colleges send mail regarding the application form, read the guidelines properly, and fill out the form. IIM B had a WAT process followed by an interview. During my time these 2 happened online, so they had intimated regarding the timings and the whole process went smoothly. Keeping it online made it more convenient for me.

Ques

How tough is IIM B test for getting into fellowship program at IIM Bangalore?

● Top Answer By Siddant Mittal on 08 Jul 22

Ans
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.

How should I go about with the preparation for IIM Bangalore interview?

● Top Answer By Akash Mittal on 21 Mar 22

Ans
Here are some useful tips which will help you prepare for IIM Bangalore interview.  Preparation tips-  Read as much as you can. Keep a regular check on current affairs, cross-country relations, the latest business trends and market, and sports. You are expected to have your own opinions and solutions regarding various issues of the world. 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?’. Try to attend mock PIs. Most MBA coaching institutes have GD/PI sessions. They offer practice sessions, tips on handling questions, and personal feedback.  Know in detail about -  Know yourself well. This will help you answer basic questions about your strength, weakness, likes, dislikes, habits, hobbies, goals, etc.  You will be asked questions about your background. So, you must know details about your residence & native place, school & college, place of work, etc.  Do’s for interview -  Before going for the interview, make sure that you are dressed properly. Your appearance should be neat and professional.  Your etiquette, courtesy, and grooming will be under strict scrutiny. So, carry yourself well.  Try to appear as witty and confident but don’t overdo it. Keep your portfolio organized. Make sure your certificates, Marksheets, and Accolades are arranged chronologically and neatly. This will convey the notion that you are well-organized and serious about your candidature.  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. Don’t boast about your academic record or test score. Try not to drag on a particular point. If the interviewer wants to elaborate on something, they will ask you.  Don’t appear as someone who is only interested in the placement.  Steering your interview -  The way you handle questions during interview can steer the conversation in your desired direction. 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.  These tips will help you to achieve a smooth experience at IIM Bangalore interview.

Ques

I have scored 85% in my 10th board and 77% in the 12th board. Is it possible for me to get admission in IIM Bangalore or in any IIM college if I score good in the CAT?

● Top Answer By Koushik Arya on 07 Mar 23

Ans
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.

Ques

What is the relevant work ex required for FPM in decison sciences from IIM Bangalore?

● Top Answer By Sunanada Banerjee on 07 Mar 22

Ans
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.

Should I opt for an MBA or MBA (Business Analytics) in IIM Bangalore, and why?

● Top Answer By Abhirup Roy on 07 Jul 22

Ans
You should opt for IIM Bangalore MBA Business Analytics if you are interested in having a career in analytics.

The curriculum is designed meticulously and incorporates all topics that you will need to learn to have a successful career in analytics.

If you want to get an idea about the placement prospect, go through the recruiters from IT domain in the IIM B placement report.

How much are IIM Bangalore Executive Education Programs are valued in the job market?

In terms of course structure, faculty, and learning resources, IIM Bangalore Executive program is top-notch.

Ques

What CAT percentile do I require to get calls from IIM Blackis, FMS, SP Jain, JBIMS and MDI Gurgaon?

● Top Answer By Anuraag Das on 14 Apr 23

Ans
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.
