Questions related to IIM Nagpur
iim nagpur is better than NMIMS, ?
Hello,
You should go for NMIMS rather than IIM Nagpur. NMIMS is one of the top B-schools in India, and only because there is the mention of the tag of IIM, you should not choose IIM Nagpur, as many IIMs are not yet good enough for acquiring quality education. NMIMS might be a little expensive, but studying there is worth it. It has qualified teachers, who provide better education, and also the placements in NMIMS are better than IIM Nagpur. The institute offers 100% placement guarantee to the students, with the highest salary package being Rs. 30.37 Lakhs per annum, while the highest salary package offered in IIM Nagpur till date is Rs. 20 Lakhs per annum. Many well-known companies visit the NMIMS campus every year to recruit the students. I hope you have got all your answers, and will definitely take the right decision for your future.
Good Luck!!!

cat:74.38 , 10/12/btech : 72.2/76.2/72.4 , category:sc , gender : male , 2019 passed out , no work ex. shortlisted to attend pi for iim nagpur , what are my chances to get a final call from iim nagpur? please respond
As IIM Nagpur is a new IIM hence it won't give that much weighatge to GD/PI for the final selection as compare to their Counterpart IIM's such as A, B or C.
A,B and C gives a weighatge of 55 to 65 percent to GD and PI. But if you consider last 2 year trend for IIM Nagpur then it gives GD and PI a weightage of 25 to 30 percent only.
That means chances are pretty high as per the CAT marks.
I am general engineer male with cat score 111.5, cat percentile 93.37, tenth 95%, XII- 83%, graduation 89.33%, work ex of 10 months, can I get shortlisted for IIM Nagpur??
Hey there
As per the previous year cutoff overall cutoff in CAT for IIM Nagpur minimum percentile needed is 90 in general category. Seeing your academics you have good chances of getting selected in IIM Nagpur as you have 1 year work experience too though IIMs do not give marks on work experience less than a year.
