IIM Bangalore - Indian Institute of Management

Dear friend, it is not necessary. It completely depends upon your choice. You can choose PGDM course if
1. You want to be MD/CEO.
2. If you have a high dream.
3. If you want to earn more.
4. You want a caliber lifestyle.
Otherwise, you can run on the same track what you are now. But it is always better choose a good college for doing PGDM otherwise it is completely wastage of time & money.

It all depends upon the entrance if you have cleared then only you will be eligible and all the colleges are having their own criteria of selection especially national universities like IIMs.

It is highly improbable to get into IIMS with 84 percentile. Going by the usual cut off trends of the IIMS, it has really high competition and hence, cutoff. The intake is generally for 95+ CAT scores. So, for general category, it's really difficult. However, you can try for other colleges which are equally good.

There is no such course as PGDBM in IIM Bangalore

To do MBA from IIMB, you need a Bachelor's degree.

Cut off changes every year. Please visit CAT website to check the exact criteria.

Yes, you can. Please appear in CAT2019.

Go ahead, but only one problem may occur, which is your class 12th score, which is comparatively less than others. Best of luck.

Hi Ansh,
To get through any IIM you need to appear for CAT. Only if you score distinctively high I. e. around 96 percentile (Depends on year on year) you might stand a chance to get a call from them. Aim to score 98-99 percentile. Also they would check your academics throughout and you need to meet up to their criteria to get through the interview and GD rounds. Start studying hard and smart and appear as many Mocks as you can. Also refer to various authors and apply for test series at different places. As they say the more, the merrier. Good Luck Mate.

Hi Harshita,
Congratulations on scoring 97 Percentile in CAT. I would say that there are chances for you to get a call. Also you have a strong score in past academic years. Hope for the best and also try out for other institutes along with IIM. Good Luck Mate.
