Thank you

Hope this information helps you.

An 80 percentile CMAT score is a decent score, but whether you can secure admission to IMS depends on several factors:

  1. Specific IMS Campus: There are multiple IMS campuses with varying admission criteria and cut-offs.
  2. Program Offered: The program you're targeting (PGDM, MBA, etc.) will have different eligibility requirements.
  3. Category: Your category (General, OBC, SC, ST) will influence your chances.
  4. Competition: The overall competition for that particular year and program will determine the final cut-off.

While an 80 percentile score increases your chances, it's essential to check the specific cut-offs for your desired IMS campus and program. Additionally, consider other factors like work experience, academic background, and GD/PI performance, as they might play a role in the final selection.

To improve your chances, research different IMS campuses, understand their admission process, and prepare well for the subsequent selection rounds.

hope this helps you!!

Hello student,

With a CMAT score of 70 percentile in the EWS category and being a Madhya Pradesh (MP) domicile, you may have a chance of getting into some Institutes of Management Studies (IMS) in MP, though admission can be competitive. Here are a few points to consider:

1. Previous Year Cutoffs:

  • Generally, IMS have varying cutoffs based on the course and the number of applicants. Check the previous year's cutoffs for the specific IMS you're targeting, as this will give you a clearer picture of your chances.

    2. EWS Category:

  • Being in the EWS category may provide you with some advantage in terms of lower cutoff requirements in certain institutes, which could enhance your chances of admission.

    3. Counseling Process:

  • Keep an eye on the counseling process and any updates regarding seat allocations. Some IMS might have management quota seats that could also be an option.

    4. Other Admission Criteria:

  • Besides CMAT scores, some institutes may consider other factors like academic performance, work experience, and group discussions/interviews.

    Recommendations:

  • Apply to Multiple Colleges : Don’t limit yourself to just one or two IMS; consider applying to several to increase your chances.

  • Stay Updated : Regularly check the official websites of the IMS for any announcements regarding admissions and counseling schedules.

In summary, while admission with a 70 percentile CMAT score can be competitive, your chances can improve due to your EWS category and MP domicile status.

Hello student,

With a 72 percentile in CMAT, you have a chance at getting into some decent B-schools, though top-tier institutions might be a bit out of reach. Here’s a breakdown of what you can aim for:

1. Tier 2 & 3 Colleges:

  • Colleges like :
    • Indira Institute of Management, Pune
    • IES Management College, Mumbai
    • Prestige Institute of Management, Indore
    • Institute of Public Enterprise, Hyderabad

  • These institutes may have cutoffs around your percentile, and they offer good value, especially with decent placement records.

    2. State-Level B-Schools:

  • You can explore state-affiliated MBA colleges that accept CMAT scores in your percentile range. Institutions from states like Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat may be a good fit.

    3. Focus on Specializations:

  • Depending on your area of interest (e.g., finance, marketing, HR), some colleges may have stronger programs in specific domains, even if they are not top-ranked overall.

    4. Check Counseling and Quota Options:

  • Some colleges might have management or state quota seats that could work in your favor.

Next Steps :

  • Research individual college cutoffs from last year.
  • Attend counseling sessions for personalized advice.

Though 72 percentile isn't in the top tier, with smart choices, you can still land a solid MBA seat!

Hello Dhara,

The ACPC (Admission Committee for Professional Courses) merit rank is determined based on a combination of your academic performance and entrance exam scores. Here’s a breakdown of how it typically works:

1. Components of Merit Calculation :

  • Class 10 Marks : Generally, the performance in Class 10 may have a lesser weightage, as the focus is primarily on higher secondary and graduation scores.

  • Class 12 Marks : This usually carries significant weight. Your aggregate percentage in subjects relevant to your desired course is crucial.

  • BCA Marks : For MBA admissions, your BCA aggregate score is essential, particularly your performance in core subjects.

  • CMAT Score : Your CMAT score will heavily influence your merit rank. The higher the score, the better your chances for a favorable rank.

    2. Formula for Calculation :

  • While the specific formula can vary, the general approach often looks like this:

    • Weightage : Class 12 (around 40-50%), BCA (around 20-30%), CMAT score (around 30-40%).

    • Your overall score is calculated by applying these weightages to each component.

      3. Normalization :

  • Some committees apply normalization techniques to ensure that scores from different boards and exams are comparable.

    4. Final Merit List :

  • After calculating the scores based on the above components, the ACPC will prepare a merit list that ranks candidates according to their final scores.

    Tips :

  • Check Official Guidelines : Since criteria can vary yearly, always refer to the official ACPC website or their latest admission brochure for specific details regarding weightages and calculation methods.

  • Focus on Performance : To improve your merit rank, focus on excelling in your CMAT exam and maintaining high marks in your 12th and BCA courses.

In summary, your merit rank in ACPC will be a composite of your academic scores and CMAT performance, with a focus on your 12th and BCA marks as key components.


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.
