IIM Bangalore - Indian Institute of Management Bannerghatta Road Answered Questions

Hi Tony,
I am assuming, you are asking for PGP programme. At IIM Bangalore, it is mandatory to stay in the hostel in the first year. However, in the second year, you are given a choice to stay off campus. Given the high weightage to various group components, frequent meetings and lot of activities, it is highly advisable to stay on campus and I personally know no person who might have chosen to stay off campus.

Hi Paurvi,
To get admission in IIM A, B, C, it is mandatory to take CAT and achieve a good score. Simply, looking at the percentages, it is very difficult to guess, if you can get a call. In case, you secure a good CAT score, your application rating should be good considering these scores.

You are eligible for admission but final admission depends on a lot of factors. The shortlisting criteria for interviews of IIM-B is based on CAT score, class 10th, class 12th and graduation scores and work experience. In case of IIM-B, the weightage for past academic performance and work experience is high, so you do have good chance if you score well in CAT exam. The graduation scores can create a problem for IIMB specifically but other Iims have a different criteria. You would require a balanced and consistent academic performance.

The admission criteria has several considerations such as CAT percentile, prior academics, and diversity in educational background. Although one cannot guarantee anything, having done well in any of these does increase your chances of making it to the final selection.
