Firstly, Congratulations for making till this level.
CAT 2018. That’s your target, isn’t it? It's just 10 months away, that D-day which will apparently make or break your life plans. You want to beat the 2 Lac people who will give this exam with you. You dream of that moment when you open your e-mail around 8th of January 2019: “CAT 2018 Results are Live now”. Your score-card reads, “Overall: 99.87 percentile”. You think of that exact moment, purchase study material, enrol for a coaching class and study every single day.
IIM Ahmedabad has recently started with their final placement process. It is a three-day process where different companies and cohorts are clubbed into three different clusters. This report is on their cluster 2 which was conducted on 13th February 2018. Here are some of the Highlights as per the press release:
As students prepare for b-school GD-PIs, we look at approximately 50 Management schools across India to assess the fees that they charge and rank them accordingly. This comes after we released the list of India's Most Desirable B-Schools , where we ranked Management Schools across India on the basis of how desirable our users feel these b-schools are.
Did you know in 2007 you could do an MBA from an IIM for just Rs 2 Lakhs? Do you know the fees for IIM Ahmedabad in 2018 is close to Rs 21 Lakhs? That's around 950% increase in fees in just 10 years! There has been a steady rise in the fees post-2008, with IIMs and other MBA colleges gaining more autonomy. A decade ago, the question to join a b-school, if you got in, would be a no-brainer. But that's the actual cost. What do aspirants think is the reasonable all-inclusive cost of doing an MBA? How much are aspirants willing to invest for a degree? It's time to reveal our findings for this year.
