Insurance is compulsory and other anyone from Finance/Marketing/HR/IT. But only Insurance Domain companies come for placement.

120 are approved by AICTE, but usually only around 70 people are taken.

Only CAT and CMAT scores are accepted.

Scope in insurance is very bright but it may take time, say 5-6 years. It's still untapped sector in India and has a huge potential for growth.

No more formality to be done. Wait for the call.

You have a very good chance to expect a call. The calls will be made around 15-20 March. The GDPI will be in April.

Don't worry. Admission to the PGDM in NIA is purely based on merit basis. The details you have to fill will help the NIA officials in getting basic info on you. These questions are type questions and will be there in almost all application forms. It will no way affect in Your GD or PI selection. If you have past experience then there will be more questions. In current batch more than 50 % students are with no experience. And almost all the students also don't have any background on Insurance sector. All the best. GD will not be in insurance sector mostly. Prepare well for GD & PI.

You can get placed in insurance companies for marketing quite easily, but only insurance companies. So it depends on you, if you want to go in insurance company for marketing.
