IIM Ahmedabad - Indian Institute of Management Vastrapur Answered Questions

For pgdm/mba courses u need to appear exams like cat/mat/xat/cmat followed by institute's own procedure. For reputed college list, go through shiksha bschool lists and choose as per your choice. Specifically for IIMs CAT exam is mandatory. All the best. Thank you.

If you have just completed class 10th then it is too early to think of an MBA. I would suggest that you focus on your academics now and get good grades in both class 12th and graduation. Most MBA colleges give a lot of weightage to past academic performance. Hence for now focus on that.

I don't think you will get an interview call from IIMA. IIMs put a individual score cutoff of 60% for all past academic performance. If you are below that, then you will not be considered for the interview. However IIMs call top 100 students in all streams for the interview, irrespective of their academic performance. Hence if you can secure top 100 rank in CAT, you will get a call from IIMA.

Mathematics is compulsory for all entrance examination of MBA colleges in India and also abroad. Hence I don't think you will be able to skip mathematics. However it is basic maths not the advanced version (means: calculus, 3D etc are not included). There are a lot of non-science background students who has joined IIMs in the past. I don't think there will be any problem for you in that regard. You just need to practice a little bit.

CAT doesn't check your sharpness. The questions are really easy (it is basically class 10-12 Maths and English). They check speed and accuracy, which only comes from practice. If you can practice enough, I don't think you will have any problem cracking CAT. And don't think about salary now and don't settle for anything that comes your way, fight for what you deserve.
