IIM Indore and IIM Kozhikode are often compared to each other. Both the institutes have their own advantages and disadvantages. Students must make a choice as per their priorities.
The ROI from FMS Delhi is like no other b-school. Not even IIMs! With fees of Rs 20,960, it's one of the cheapest but highly effective b-schools in India (in terms of placements).

How To Get 220+ Score In NMAT
Xavier Aptitude test (XAT) is traditionally the second most important MBA entrance exam after CAT and is also considered as the toughest one to crack. It is possibly the last chance for most students to get a good score and an admission into one of the most reputed MBA College in the country-XLRI.

As CAT draws closer, it is extremely important for aspirants to prepare for other tests that they have already registered for or plan to register. In past years, there have been a lot of students who couldn’t put up a great performance in CAT but bounced back with a wonderful performance in IIFT, NMAT, TISSNET and XAT etc. Preparing well for OMETs (Other Management Entrance Tests) will take the pressure off your shoulders on the D-Day of CAT and will provide you a chance to gain admission into reputed colleges like NMIMS, SIBM, XLRI etc.
I know a lot of candidates already have butterflies in their stomachs since NMAT, the first MBA exam of this season is kicking off from today. I was also in a similar situation last year. Students who are focused on CAT tend to ignore the non-cat exams like NMAT, SNAP, IIFT. But believe me, these exams are easier to crack if you have the right strategy and moreover 80% of NMAT's syllabus is taken care of if you are preparing for CAT. For the rest 20%, you should give ample number of NMAT mocks to get a hang of the syllabus, analyse those mocks thoroughly and accordingly form your own strategy.
My preparation started from March but I was unable to give much time because of academics and college activities. I was able to focus solely on CAT only from July after the end term examinations of my college. During the period from March to July, I tried to go through all the basics of the three sections. Then after July, I started practising questions and previous year papers along with regular mock tests. Regular practice along with mock tests helped me a lot. One thing to note is that all the mock tests should be analysed so that the shortcomings can be identified and worked upon. I worked on my weak areas a lot to improve them along with sufficient practice for the strong areas. Mock tests are an integral part of preparation as one would not be able to judge their preparation without them. Solving questions under time constraints should be practised regularly. Along with full-length mock tests, I gave chapter wise tests and sectional tests on the areas which I was not comfortable with. I think that mock tests are necessary as they help a lot in preparing for the final exam.
