I surfed MS and find Most of the reviews were on ’’Life at IIMs’’. But could hardly found any revu on ’’How to get into it’’
Every year about 1, 20, 000 students compete for 1200 seats available at IIMs. Appeared to selected ratio of 100:1!!! Thats why IIMA has been ranked the toughest B-School to get into in the world.
You have to really work hard if you have a dream of getting into IIMs.
The Selection Procedure comprises of two phases- Written Test and GD/PI
One can never think of getting into a gooid B-School if One doesn’t get coaching for at least one year from a good coaching institute, may be IMS or Career Launcher or Professional Tutorials or Career Forum or so on and so far.........
But which one to join
Four major factors to think upon:
Study Material: Study Materials is one of the most important strengths of an institute which gives CAT coaching. Because one has to study from those notes only and get dependent on those notes only. Also of importance are the FLTs or MOCKs that the institute take.
Faculty: Faculty, the other most important aspect of CAT coaching. Studying from an ICFAI graduate and dreaming of getting into IIMs!!!!!!! The person who can’t himself make it to IIMs, how can he take you to IIMs.
Individual Attention and Doubt Clearing Sessions: Individual Attention, that is mostly missing in these coaching classes in big cities (that have 50+ students in each batch) is required. You study, you study hard, you face problems and there is no one to clear you doubts.
Competitors(Batch Mates): Competitors are also important. Otherwise you won’t be able to know how much preparation do you exactly need. Andhon mein Kaana Raja may apply.
Taking the above considerations in mind, I feel one can go in for IMS or CL only as other institutes are missing on all these factors(1-4).
Another Suggestion join https://groups.yahoo.com/group/careerlauncher. On this Yahoo Group you can always discuss your preparations/doubts for CAT and also get expert advice on the same.
