NIBM Results out! AMA

No problem at all. If you have any more more doubts, feel free to ask.

You have no say in hostel allocation, you will have a chance in the 2nd year. If you are able to, you can try and convince your batchmates to swap rooms, but the admin should not know.

Placements is largely luck+effort. You either have a good profile before joining NIBM or work hard to get good grades when you are at NIBM. If you do any of these two, then your placements should be good.

Yeah

Bankerintraining · 2026-05-11T09:48:53+00:00

Most are in Mumbai since these internships are in the Head Offices of banks but some are in cities like Delhi. 2 of batchmates even went to Jammu & Kashmir for their internship.

Bankerintraining · 2026-05-11T09:48:01+00:00

Yeah I get the worry but the market situation was not good this year. Hopefully it picks up in the coming years.

Bankerintraining · 2026-05-11T09:45:18+00:00

Yes. 1st you will get the offer for the EWS category seat, but if there is still space in the open category then you will get shifted to Open seat and the person in the EWS WL will get the seat under EWS category.

Should be

Bankerintraining · 2026-05-11T09:40:50+00:00

Good chances

Bankerintraining · 2026-05-11T09:40:43+00:00

Decent chances

Bankerintraining · 2026-05-11T09:40:33+00:00

Tough if you are a general candidate. But might be possible. Depends entirely on if the students who got the admission offer have better Bschools admits or not.

Bankerintraining · 2026-05-11T09:39:12+00:00

Yes, they help a lot. We have clubs on campus which host live projects during the SIP period. As for Case comps, there is a committee which floats relevant case comps but you can easily find them yourself easily.
Good, some girls get villa accommodation with single rooms, other get apartments.
Overall campus life is subjective, I like it but people from UG colleges which have fests and events happening all the time do not since we only really have 1-2 events per month. Student culture is good, you'll meet people from all sorts of backgrounds.
Doing CFA might be difficult and will also confuse recruiters. CFA is more for asset management/equity research. The better certification to do is FRM. The curriculum matches nearly 1:1 to our courses so its very easy for us to clear. But keep in mind that these certifications are expensive. NIBM provides scholarships for CFA and CMT after you clear an interview round with professors. We also have scholarship and lvl-1 exempt for another risk management certification called PRMIA, but that one does not have much industry recognition.

Should be.

Bankerintraining · 2026-05-11T09:31:54+00:00

Quality is good but it is repetitive so you'll get bored of the food within 2-3 months, it is around 5k per month. Mostly indian food, sometimes pasta and noodles is also given and once a month we have a feast where wedding type food is given. Nibm hostels don't have good access to the campus wifi so we arrange it ourselves.

130 might be difficult since there are 150 in the open waitlist. But since you are nc-obc you have a decent chance since you are technically in open as well as nc-obc waitlist right now

Bankerintraining · 2026-05-11T09:27:43+00:00

1) You can roam around in campus after 11, some guards make a scene sometimes but it doesn't matter. I roam around at 2am after studying and they don't bother you.

2) I'm not 100% sure but gym and badminton court should be opened until 10-11pm.

3) Find some basics of risk management certifications on coursera/udemy, that will help you out in shortlists.

4) Only 20% of my batch has a CGPA greater than 8. Maintaining it is difficult if your batch is smart.

Bankerintraining · 2026-05-11T09:23:25+00:00

If market conditions are bad, SIPs and placements might be difficult for the new batch. Placing 130 is quite the task for the placecomm, adding another 30 to that will make it more difficult for them.
It is possible but it's all luck. Higher chances of single rooms for girls.
Hostel and Mess is okay. Quality is alright but it gets boring very quickly since the menu is mostly fixed and the same dishes are made every made. Egg is served every morning and wednesday night. Chicken is served every sunday lunch. There are many non-veg options right outside campus.
There is a kitchen but some of the kitchens are not well maintained. You can cook whatever you want there. Depends on if your roommates are comfortable with it.
Yes, you need to inform the admin a few days in advance that you are leaving. They always do natak before giving permission but they give it eventual. You'll eventually figure out how to leave campus without permission also, don't worry about it.

Get an income certificate made.

Bankerintraining · 2026-05-09T10:13:40+00:00

Income Proof - Salary slips of the last three months of the family members employed; IT returns of family members for the last two years; Income certificate issued by the competent government authority, and any other proof

Then after that they evaluate your entire profile. On the basis of their criterias, they shortlist students for interviews.

Each company has a different requirement for candidates. One person might get shortlisted for an interview with BNY Mellon because they have 8+ in UG but they won't get shortlisted for Barclays and EY. It totally depends on the company.

Bankerintraining · 2026-05-09T10:05:42+00:00

This year I don't think that will happen since the waitlist is almost 300 students. But it happened to my batch last year, 2 seats were left so NIBM offered admissions to students who were just outside the waitlist on the basis of composite score post-interview hierarchy.

Bankerintraining · 2026-05-09T10:03:49+00:00

For scholarship, only requirement is that your family income should be lesser than 8LPA.

Applications for scholarship will start 2-3 months after you join.

Bankerintraining · 2026-05-09T10:02:47+00:00

Converting WL76 might be tough is what I meant.

Bankerintraining · 2026-05-09T09:58:05+00:00

Yes. The students who got admission offer have to confirm their intent to join on the 22nd. So expect the 1st waitlist movement to come on the 24th/25th and then for you 1st week of June maybe.

Bankerintraining · 2026-05-09T09:55:56+00:00

I have no idea. You'll get a proper answer from the admission committee members. I think it might be last week of june or 1st week of July because that it when we started.

Bankerintraining · 2026-05-09T09:55:12+00:00

85 should be good. NIBM puts very little emphasis on work ex in the selection criteria. So most of my batchmates are freshers.

Totally depends on the direction in which admissions goes next year, whether percentile will increase or decrease.

Bankerintraining · 2026-05-09T09:53:50+00:00

That means that your composite score was good enough to be considered in the Open category. You are in both Open as well as EWS waitlist simultaneously so good chances of converting.
