  IMT Hyderabad is improving steadily but the average package is slightly lower (around Rs 7-8 LPA), though top students still bag good offers.

• Opportunities (Case Competitions, Activities) : Welingkar is more active in case study competitions , entrepreneurship cells, innovation labs, and corporate tie-ups.
  IMT Hyderabad also hosts competitions and events but Welingkar has better industry exposure through platforms like Global Citizen Leadership Program.

Hello,

IMT Nagpur is generally better than IMI Kolkata in terms of brand value, alumni network, and corporate connections. IMT Nagpur has a higher average placement package (~9 LPA vs ~7 LPA at IMI Kolkata) and better faculty. however, IMI Kolkata is good for finance- related roles, so choose based on your specialization preference.

Hello there,

With 80 percentile in CMAT, being a non-engineer female (OBC-NCL) with 78/88/7.57 CGPA, you have moderate to low chances for IMT Nagpur. The usual CMAT cutoff is 80-85 percentile, so your admission will depend on the Personal Interview and overall profile. IMT Nagpur does not have OBC reservations, so selection is merit-based. You should apply to multiple institutes for better chances.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Hello Varun,

Based on your CAT raw score and profile, here's a breakdown of your potential calls and your chances for different institutes:

1. GIM Goa, GLIM Chennai, IMT Ghaziabad, IMI Delhi:

• GIM Goa : With a score of 55, GIM typically looks for candidates with a higher percentile. However, you may still get a call if your overall profile, including your academic background (93.8% in Class 12, work experience), is strong.
  
  
• GLIM Chennai : GLIM has a competitive cutoff, but with a solid academic record and work experience, there may be a chance, especially if you belong to a diverse background.
  
  
• IMT Ghaziabad : Your chances with a score of 55 are slim, as IMT usually looks for a higher percentile. However, if you have an impressive profile and high academic scores, there may still be a slim possibility.
  
  
• IMI Delhi : Similar to IMT, IMI Delhi has high cutoffs and competitive selection criteria. However, work experience and other factors like diversity can sometimes offset a lower CAT score.
  
  2. IIM SAP (Special Admission Program) :
  
  
• The IIM SAP is typically for candidates with significant work experience or other unique factors. Your 14 months of work experience could be beneficial, but your CAT score of 55 is on the lower side, making it unlikely to receive an IIM SAP call. However, if you have other outstanding features in your profile (e.g., exceptional academic performance, leadership qualities, etc.), you might still stand a chance.
  
  3. Other Possible Calls :
  
  
• UPES Dehradun : Known for considering work experience and unique profiles, UPES could be a potential option for you.
  
  
• Bimtech Noida : You could expect a call here, considering your work experience and overall profile.
  
  
• XIMB Bhubaneswar : This institute also considers profiles with good work experience, and you may stand a chance despite your score.

Overall, you can expect a call from institutes that weigh work experience and academic performance heavily, but you should also be prepared for lower-tier institutes in terms of CAT score cutoffs. Ensure you target institutes that match your profile for better chances.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Hello aspirant,

CAT does not directly send your scores to individual institutes. After you take the CAT exam, you will receive your scorecard from CAT. This scorecard will contain your overall score, sectional scores, and percentile rank.

You will need to update your CAT score on the individual institute portals yourself. Each institute has its own application process, and you will typically need to upload your CAT scorecard to their portal. This allows them to evaluate your application based on your CAT performance.

Therefore, it is important to be prepared to update your CAT score on multiple institute portals after receiving your scorecard.

I hope this information helps you.
