IIM Calcutta - Indian Institute of Management

It totally depends upon your interest. Data analytics is surely the trending course, but then if you don't have interest in data analytics or you are not comfortable with number crunching, doing a course in same would not help. MBA on the other hand focuses on management and thus requires a different skill set.

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.

Your chances depend on how you score at the entrance test. A score of 99 percentile should give you bright chances to get into the said colleges. XLRI has its own opne test whereas IIMs follow CAT.

No, there is no problem if you take one year gap but you need to justify the gap and also provide a gap certificate at the time of admission.

You may get a call but due to poor academics, it will be tough to convert the call. Prepare well for GD and PI.

Hi Shyam, Yes, you can get a call from such colleges. Though it is difficult to predict the chances of getting calls from them since not only marks and percentages, but the overall background and CAT score matters here. However, you can use the following link to get an approximate idea. https://www.shiksha.com/mba/resources/iim-call-predictor
Hope it helps. All the best.

If you score well in CAT, there are high chances of getting a call.
