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
In order to make an informed decision about which college to choose for your final joining, you must analyse various parameters of a B-School to decide the one which matches with your final goals. At the end of your MBA, your goal could be entrepreneurship, higher education, job opportunities, greater exposure, increased market value or something very different. Basis the end result, please choose the college wisely.
For higher education, you should choose a college with good faculty and academic exposure, for career opportunities - choose a college with good placement records, for exposure and networking - choose a one with greater alumni base and so on.
For the colleges mentioned, I am highlighting the key parameters and the differences between the colleges. Accordingly, please review and make a choice:
