Commonly asked questions
On Comparisons

Q: What makes CAT tougher than other MBA entrance exams?

Common Admission Test or CAT is a national-level management aptitude test conducted by IIM for admission to MBA. Each year, over 2.3 Lacs candidates take the CAT exam, which is accepted by the IIMs and top MBA colleges in India. It is important to apply strict selection criteria to identify the top candidates among them. That's why, the CAT exam is tougher than other MBA entrance exams. Even though the syllabus of CAT is the same as that of other MBA entrance exams, the question paper set by the IIM faculty always has tough questions. Moreover, CAT has a sectional time limit for each section which is not there in any other exam except XAT.

Q: Is IIM Bangalore as good as IIM Ahmedabad?

IIM Ahmedabad is viewed as being superior to the one in Bengaluru, which is something distinctive that clearly stands out in many of these debates. And given how much the alumni network and brand value matter, IIM Ahmedabad should be the school of choice since it will provide you with more long-term advantages. This single point leads to the recommendation to select option A.

However, I really doubt that it should be given much weight in comparison or that this particular moment should stand alone as a turning point. Evidently, Ahmedabad was founded prior to Bangalore, and Bangalore began to prioritize privates after the mid-80s. Even so, it may give the more established Iims a tough fight. Currently, Ahmedabad continues to spend a colossal amount of money on branding and marketing. Following Ahmedabad, although considerably behind it, is IIM Bangalore. In comparison to IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Calcutta could be thought of as insignificant. The facebook page for IIM Ahmedabad, which has a large number of likes and engages in a lot of online advertising, is a good example of this. Consequently, it is able to preserve that impression. Also intriguingly, Ahmedabad is ranked higher than Bangalore in terms of academic and employer perception in the QS rankings for the MIM category (where the flagship PGP in Management is taken into account). However, because to Bangalore's superior scores in all other categories, Bangalore outranks Ahmedabad in the overall rankings.

Q: Can an average student get into an IIM?

The answer to this question of whether an average student can get into IIM can be both yes and no depending on the definition of an average student.

Based on Academics (Class 10/ Class 12/ Graduation): While a student with average scores in Class 10, Class 12 and graduation with a good CAT score certainly has good chances of getting a call from IIM-A, chances are less for someone with an average CAT score.
Based on student category (General or Reserved): While it is tough for a General category average student to grab a seat at IIM due to high score requirements, a reserved category student can get admission being at average scores as well.
Based on past work experience, diversity and other factors: Gender and academic diversity is also a factor on which students are shortlisted at IIM. IIMs judge the past academic category based on the degree obtained by the students before MBA and then a weightage is allotted based on that. For Engineers, the percentage for scoring the highest marks is higher as compared with other streams
Performance in selection rounds: Once you make it to the final selection rounds, i.e., AWT/PI process, it can be considered a fresh start. At this stage, students can forget their past average-ness but definitely require good grasp over the past subjects as academics-related questions are asked in the interview.

Based on the above factors, it can be considered that while getting into top Management institutes, such as IIM is extremely tough, the past performance, CAT performance, student category and a lot of factors can be the reasons for a student to receive that final call.
