IIM

Firstly, register for an exam called CAT. Know its syllabus, and start studying for it. 4-5 months of dedicated preparation is enough to crack the exam. It will be held in November 2017. Post the exam, start preparing for the interviews. If you clear the cutoffs of various IIMs (around 99 percentile), then you will be notified about it. Then, appear for the interview rounds (usually held in February) and perform well. If you clear the interviews, you'll be given admission for the respective IIMs.

Admission in IIMs is based on Combined Admission Test (CAT) conducted by IIMs. The eligibility criteria for appearing in CAT is Bachelors degree in any discipline from a recognised university with aggregate marks of 50% or above. CAT 2016 will be held on 04 December for MBA 2017-19 batch. You cannot apply for it now. Advertisement for CAT is generally published in August in leading newspapers. You may appear for CAT 2017.

You can do, provided you comply with the requirements of those short-term courses. One of the main parameters is relevant work experience for certain number of years. These are advertised by IIM/s. So, keep a watch on those.

For admission to IIM for MBA the UG course is not the criterion. You can do your graduation in any subject. For IIM you will have to give a separate exam (CAT). However, personally speaking I would advise to opt for CSE instead of agriculture engineering.

Besides a great peer group and tested IIM pedagogy, it has a small batch size which makes us more of a close knitted family. Also the campus is situated in the erstwhile summer palace of the Mayurbhanj kings of Orissa. It is situated at a hill station having the most beautiful of seasons and weather.

You can check the eligibility criteria in the IIM Shillong website http://www.iimshillong.ac.in/admissions/pgp-admissions/#w349 . All the details are mentioned in the wesite.

Hi Damini,
It depends on your category if general 99+ would be enough. However, percentile is not the only criteria.IIMs look for overall performance and potential of a candidate apart from academics, there is a significant shift in the selection process from academic-centric to overall performance and capabilities of the students. The Cutoff percentile is different for different IIMs and it changes every year, you can get the report on official websites of respective IIMs.
