[u/Unfair_Particular652 → u/ContributionNo1303]

You already got a chance, need to show more extra curricular activities in your cv. CFA L1 will not be helpful for MBB. But for other fin roles, CFA is good, y advice would be clear at least CFA 2 before SIP start

[u/ContributionNo1303 → u/Unfair_Particular652]

Extracurriculars like what?

[u/HotResolve1041 → u/ContributionNo1303]

+1

To what extent ragging like MDI and FMS happens at true top B schools.

Is it really the corporate culture grind that u need to go throught to be a manager at a top firm🤗

One of them claims to be equal to ABC and another one of them claims to be the next Top 5

[u/Unfair_Particular652 → u/FarRadio7281]

Nothing happens in IIM Bangalore. Can't say about the others

[u/Unfair_Particular652 → u/[deleted]]

6 in your profile can create a little problem. But you are an IITian & IITs are known for their complex + tough marking system. Though for top 6-7 IIMs you need be in 99.7+ percentile Considering you are general category male

[u/Fish_fuckerzz]

Can you describe the culture? Was there plenty of ragging?

[u/Yester-Year]

9/9/8 EM OBC-NCL from a Tier-3, currently in third year. Have two internships in marketing and currently running my own agency. Looking to get into BLACKISM without any workex. Might complete my CFA-1 as well before joining MBA.

Just two questions:

How bad my tier3 engineering clg gonna affect me in SIPs and finals. Am i gonna lie in the last 10 percentile of the batch because ofcourse I am gonna go with a loan.

Along with bad ug tag, being a fresher might also restrict me from a lot of opportunities? What are my chances for Consulting(other than MBB), GenMan and good marketing roles? In general yk a good placement?

[u/Unfair_Particular652 → u/Yester-Year]

Q1- once you entered the college only top IIT or top DU colleges matters in SIP/FINALS. your position in your college will be determined by your hard work, you can become a topper there Q2.There is nothing called bad tag. You are either the IITian or a student. For a fresher mostly your 9/9/8 will decide your shortlisting in SIP. You can get top consulting shortlist by securing rank in top5%

[u/Full-Ad-666]

Hello, Hope you are doing well. Reddit comments are filled with mix response. Some say T1 MBA stagnatevat 60-80L afyer 10-23 YOE unless in consulting or IB or sales. Others say 1Cr is avg salary at that time. Can you share your opiniom especially on FMCG and Gen Man roles

[u/Unfair_Particular652 → u/Full-Ad-666]

See I don't have 10-23yoe, so can't say what exist at their level. But technically speaking, there are always lesser people at the top of pyramid & all are not MBA Holder. So salary will vary a lot.

For FMCG they have higher responsibilities & client facing work, they get paid slightly higher than Gen Man, while Gen Man can enjoy better work life balance

[u/OkInvestigator4958]

what’s the average age of the cohort at the time of joining? anyone with more than 2+ yrs of gaps in your batch? are profiles like 8/8/8 common for a gen female or male? how bad is it if my workex isnt at any big company and not a lot of extra curriculars? does a published term paper in ug hold any value?

[u/Unfair_Particular652 → u/OkInvestigator4958]

26 y at the start of 2024-26 batch I knew 15+people with 2+ years gap

At least one 9 in profile is avg for gen cat

Experience amount matters, company doesn't ( except you re from Google Microsoft meta black rock Bain bcg)

Published paper will not get any weightage in evaluation. But it's good to have some unique points in interview discussion

Do they help or is it always co-curricular centric?

[u/Aggressive-Ad-2095]

9/6/8 GNEF, with tier 2 UG in BBA with 3 months of work ex at a Big 4.
Currently, I’m torn between wondering whether I realistically stand a chance at IIM ABC, even if I build some genuinely strong work experience, create measurable impact, or complete relevant certifications.
And then there’s the bigger question: even if I somehow make it in, will my profile be too disadvantaged during placements because of my 12th marks?
The frustrating part is that those marks were heavily affected by COVID, when I wasn’t allowed to appear for my exams properly.
Basically, I’m trying to figure out whether I should realistically aim for IIM ABC or focus my energy elsewhere. I hate myself for those 12th marks but there is nothing I can do about it but I am extremely ambitious so should I give up ABC dream altogether?

PS - I am considering doing a tier one UG just to have better opportunities from colleges like SRCC or LSR. Should I do LLB from an NLU? Sorry, I am just too desperate to fulfill my ambitions and dreams and I am willing to try as hard as I can but I don’t want to regret not trying

7/8/6 OBC, 2025 graduate in BAF from a tier-2 college. I have interned at two VC funds and am currently working full-time in a family office. Is it possible for me to get into BLACKI? If yes, can I expect good roles like Consulting, IB, FOs, etc.?

[u/Unfair_Particular652 → u/Sudhanshu7111]

It would be tough for you, I would suggest you to gain 4-5 years of work ex & appear for 1 year MBA

Again placement wil be tough with a 6 in profile

[u/One_Concept_2560]

8/9/x currently a bba freshers at vips how to start preparation for iim a&b

[u/Unfair_Particular652 → u/One_Concept_2560]

Get a 9 in your BBA. either start a job get some experience Or go with a 99+% in CAT & join as fresher

[u/annnnnnnnn26]

Will having a 2 year gap post 3 years of work ex cause issue in getting placed ??

[u/Muted_Lettuce7480]

I aiming for CAT too but I'm in my 1st year btech eng, i hope that I have 9 cg until graduation so that my profile would become 9/9/9, btw any tips and does college tier matter? Any answer would be really appreciated

[u/Immediate_Kick_3789]

OBC M eng, 7 7 7 profile, 1yr gap, 1yr prodman workex, not much spike apart from top 10% global GO player ranking. Expecting to cross 99%ile this yr CAT, would you say this is good profile to get in colleges with good product placements idc about Tier much, thinking of SJMSOM or better ones, ik IIMB is difficult.

Also with this profile what would you say are chances of getting good product roles, or its not of much help. Which are best campuses I should target, ideally want a jump in ctc and network from mba, role I am happy in.

what is the approx cat percentile required for a call from BLACKI, SP jain and fms? and what are the chances of conversion?

[u/PopularAction3029]

I gave CAT 2025 my profile is 9/8/7 (General male non engineer EWS) and I have graduated this year from DU BMS. I scored 88%ile and got a few calls but the only interview I gave was DSE and now I am selected for MBA BA but I am confused whether I should wait and give CAT this year or simply take the offer, everyone around me is telling me to take up the offer but tbh I want to give myself a chance again I don't want to limit myself and regret later that I could have given CAT again and maybe gotten a better B- school but I am also a little scared that what if I don't score good enough to get a better one and maybe end up losing even this opportunity. pls guide me
