The criteria at IIM Lucknow for the Class of 2016 largely remains the same as last year. There are minor tweaks but that will have no real impact in the overall analysis.
With CAT/XAT 2014 results just around the corner, the anticipation and impatience amongst the aspirants is sky high. And, why wouldn’t it be? After all, they are considered to be the most coveted yet capricious entrance exams of all. However, one should not forget that clearing the written exams with flying colours is just the stepping stone and the dream of getting into a prestigious B-School of the country is still a faint sight. The most important and often a nightmarish one for many, is the Group Discussion round. Although most of the sought-after IIMs of our country have done away with GDs and replaced them with the Written Ability Tests, other equally respected B-Schools still retain the conventional GD round. It is one’s performance in this round that usually singles the ‘eventually-selected’ candidates out who steal the thunder from the rest. It is this round that decides the fate of most of the candidates.
There is no change in the shortlisting criteria at IIM Indore for the PGP programme for the Class of 2016 from the one used last year. (You can read everything about last year's criteria here)
I have been receiving a lot of questions that are variants of the question I have stated above. Briefly put, the question which anybody who has an MBA aspiration asks, is what is the right time for doing a MBA course?

The funny thing is that I think the answer to me is substantially clearer at the end of thirty plus years after I exited the hallowed portals of IIM Calcutta at what was then their newly minted campus at Joka. A secondary question that I will also try to answer is: Was my Engineering Degree from IIT Kharagpur redundant in the face of the MBA, a waste of tax payers’ money or did it also contribute to my work and career.
IIM K's shortlisting and selection criteria has changed. And in our opinion, changed for the better.
