On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to IFMR GSB Sri City ?

Hi aspirant,

Both IFMR GSB and SDMIMD are excellent and respectable choices for an MBA, however IFMR GSB is thought to have marginally better placement records.

Here is a detailed comparison:

IFMR GSB:

Location: Sri City, Andhra Pradesh

Program: MBA

Fees: 14.16 Lakh

Placements: average 13.4 LPA

SDMIMD:

Location: Mysuru, Karnataka

Program: PGDM

Fees: 12.17 Lakh

Placements: average 9.8-10 LPA

All the best!

A waitlist number of 53 at IFMR Krea University gives you a decent chance, but it largely depends on how many students ahead of you decline their offers. In past admission cycles, IFMR’s waitlist movement for the MBA program has sometimes gone beyond 70–80, especially after top B-schools release their results and students drop seats.

If you’re flexible about accepting quickly when offered, your odds are fairly good  though nothing is guaranteed. The biggest movement usually happens in the first two weeks after the initial admission deadline, with smaller waves later. Keep all your documents and fees ready so you can confirm immediately if you get the call.

Hello Aspirant,

This university's MBA admissions occur through several entrance exams. NMAT is one of them.

The last year's cut-off was in the range  85-90 percentile. The score might be between 220- 230.

You have also met the sectional cutoff of this university to be eligible for a further round of nomination. This cutoff is subjected to change every year depending on various factors.

I hope it helps.

Thank you
