Hello,

You are unlikely to get into IIM Ahmedabad's PGPX (Post Graduate Program in Management for Executives) with only 2 years of work experience. Key points:

• Minimum Requirement: IIM Ahmedabad requires a minimum of 4 years of full-time work experience for PGPX as of the start date of the program.
• Average Experience: Most candidates admitted have 8-10 years of work experience.
• Program Focus: PGPX is designed for mid-career professionals with substantial managerial or leadership exposure.
• Alternative Programs: Consider IIM’s PGP or Early Career programs tailored for candidates with 2-3 years of experience.

Hope it helps  !

Hello,

Kusum, it's great that you're determined to pursue your dream of an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad despite financial challenges. Here's a strategy for self-study:

• Understand the Exam Structure : Familiarize yourself with the CAT exam pattern, which includes sections on Quantitative Ability, Data Interpretation, Verbal Ability, and Logical Reasoning.
• Create a Study Plan : Allocate specific hours each day for each section, focusing on weak areas. Break it into manageable chunks.
• Use Free Resources : There are plenty of free online resources that include YouTube channels, CAT preparation websites, and apps for practice questions with video tutorials. Some popular ones are Unacademy, BYJU's, and Career Launcher.
• Take Mock Tests Regularly : Use mock tests regularly to assess progress and adjust study plans accordingly.
• Focus on Concepts : Strong foundations in math, logic, and English. Regular practice with books like "Quantitative Aptitude for CAT" and "Word Power Made Easy" for vocabulary.

Consistency and discipline are the keys! Stay motivated, and you can achieve your goal.

Hello,

CAT percentage score: 92.4%ile; Educational background: B.Sc. Botany; Work Experience: 34 months; CGPA 9 in Class 10 With such a profile, the niche programs like IIMA FABM (Food and Agribusiness Management) and IIML ABM (Agri-Business Management) present a competitive edge. This is because these programs offer good diversity in academic backgrounds that align well with your profile.

While your 12th (65.7%) and graduation (65.2%) scores may eliminate opportunities at the older IIMs for their core PGP programs, newer IIMs in the list are IIM Udaipur, IIM Raipur, and IIM Kashipur; the MBA programs at the IITs like IIT Madras, IIT Roorkee, or IIT Kharagpur are also worth examining with their slightly lower cut-offs.

Emphasise academic diversity, work experiences, and career goals that are in agribusiness to strengthen your application and prepare for interviews to eventually apply strategically to maximise your chances at institutions whose values align with yours.

You can use the online CAT College Predictor tools to estimate the probability of receiving interview calls from different IIMs and other top MBA colleges based on your CAT percentile of 92.4% and academic background.
