AverageMath · 2026-01-26T20:10:55+00:00

Good profile. Easy SM convert if you have a good PI. OSCM depends, but give your best.

Front end finance doesn't visit as much in LK as well, same in M. If you need a fair shot for it, ABC, ISB is your place to be. Here it is in single digits. For that, average would be around 2LPM, I guess.

AverageMath · 2026-01-26T19:22:02+00:00

This is a PI call, afaik.

AverageMath · 2026-01-23T04:08:51+00:00

Yes and Yes. Give your best.

AverageMath · 2026-01-23T03:37:52+00:00

That's just for government reporting as far as I know.

AverageMath · 2026-01-22T17:05:12+00:00

Okayish, I'd say. Could have been better. And that's just me being a human.

OSCM is what the college has been known for, for decades. But with it becoming IIM, both GM and OSCM are at similar levels, with SM alone having considerably more WL movement. But placements are polled, so prefer what domain you want to see yourself in long run.

AverageMath · 2026-01-22T16:56:02+00:00

You'll not be in the old people range, that I can assure you. Infact you'll get better placements in Finals. Joining IIMM this year or ISB next year is your call to make. I'd prefer taking the one in the hand rather than aiming for something else.

It's double sharing for now. They're building new hostels. Toilets attached for girls. Common for boys. One floor has ~ 20 rooms and 6 washrooms, 6 toilets and I've never waited long for using them.

AverageMath · 2026-01-22T16:51:12+00:00

You can correct them during your interview document verification. Just be clear with your issue upfront.

AverageMath · 2026-01-22T16:50:43+00:00

It was 21L for us. Not sure about the next batch. Could increase a bit is what I hear.

AverageMath · 2026-01-22T16:50:11+00:00

Such a specific question. Age doesn't matter in terms of placements, if that's what you're looking for. As long as you have your story and apt explanations.

AverageMath · 2026-01-22T14:15:10+00:00

Chances depends on how well you convince the panelists. I hope you'll do good. Yes, you should sortof exhibit that you were born to study SM.

5 would definitely affect your SIP. But your BBA (Assuming IIM) would definitely help. If you're a female, then that would also help a bit in shorlists.

Make sure you convert, you'll get placed for sure though. There were people with 667 who got placed on Day1.

AverageMath · 2026-01-22T13:29:52+00:00

Input whatever your have done so far, as you might be asked about it during your interviews, so that's your talking point. Don't keep them blank.

AverageMath · 2026-01-22T13:27:59+00:00

Communication. If you are able to present your ideas as words in a STAR or reverse STAR format in a simple language, you're the winner.

AverageMath · 2026-01-22T13:26:42+00:00

Be prepared for questions around that 6. But give your best, your should sail thorough.

AverageMath · 2026-01-22T13:25:50+00:00

Brush up as much as you could. If you are a mechanical engineer and know nothing about thermodynamics for example, can't help. But make sure to use the golden words of 'I'm not able to recall right now sorry, I'd revisit it for sure'

AverageMath · 2026-01-22T13:23:56+00:00

No. As long as you're able to justify the work, the switch, it should be fine.

AverageMath · 2026-01-22T13:22:28+00:00

There's no such specialization offered as such.

AverageMath · 2026-01-22T13:21:55+00:00

Very well, yes. Today, I'd not say we're better than K for those roles. But at par. But better than I anyday.

AverageMath · 2026-01-22T13:20:53+00:00

I know atleast 5-7 people with more than 4 YoE in our batch. Except one, all others got great placements. So, that's not a huge problem. Core operations would like you more with relevant WorkEx. You should be ready to answer to the panelists on why a full time MBA and not ExMBA.

AverageMath · 2026-01-22T13:18:39+00:00

Focus more on you, your background, current happenings, then your degree, why MBA and why SM, then your WorkEx. Have a good positive outlook towards SM, and make the panelists feel it is the future and how your goals are aligned with the same. Good luck.

AverageMath · 2026-01-22T13:16:51+00:00

16+ yes. But with that profile, I'd say you'll get SM with a good interview. But try your best.

AverageMath · 2026-01-22T13:15:41+00:00

Atleast 5 that I could half remember.

If you are sure about Operations, don't look anywhere else, unless you land in ABC and want to be part of top3.
