How to enter IIM???

Kudos!!! This is to all esteemed readers of my blog... The reader base of blog showed an upward trend during the past week.. I received a total of 2982 page views that week... That's the thing I require... That makes me more and more dedicated to my job of posting new and up-to-date info here... I would like to thank all those readers who visit my blog and leave their valuable comments, which helps me improve my approach towards them.. Thanks... 

I'm compiling this piece of information on request of my esteemed reader "Umar" who is an aspirant of CAT... 

The selection for the post-graduate programme (MBA) in Indian Institute of Management - IIM is done through a two-stage process. In the first stage, candidates to be called for personal interview are short-listed from among those who have applied to IIMA’s post-graduate programme. While short-listing the candidates for personal interview, candidates belonging to categories for which seats are reserved, are treated differently. The criteria used for short-listing would be disclosed on the CAT web-site (www.catiim.in) and/or the IIMA website (www.iimahd.ernet.in) along with the list of short-listed candidates on 9th January 2009 (Current Academic Year). Please note that the cut off for short listing SC/ST/PWD candidates for personal interview would not be less than 17% score in each of the three sections of CAT 2008 and no less than 25% score in aggregate. For other categories, it would be no less than 25% in each of the three sections and no less than 33% in aggregate.  The actual cut-offs used for short-listing, however, may be higher than the above mentioned percentage scores and would depend upon the performance of candidates in Common Admission Test - CAT .
In the second stage, candidates to be admitted to the post-graduate programmes are selected from among those who have attended the personal interviews.  In preparing this admission list, inputs such as performance in personal interview, the CAT score, academic background and achievements, extra-curricular activities, and post-degree work experience, are taken into consideration.

Work experience here doesn't necessarily mean experience at graduation level, most of the MBA aspirants after completing their graduation take a rest and do a suitable job to gain some work experience.. One fine example is of Mr. Koushik Gosh who wanted to do his MBA in UK at University of Manchester where atlest 2 years of relevant industry work experience is required to fullfill the eligibility criteria. After being engaged with IBM Computers for some years, he is currently a student of Manchester Business School.

However, if you still get a job, that is fine to gain some relevant industry work experience. It's better to work in marketing divisions rather at a BPO as marketing work experience is universally acceptable.
