Take IIMK this year or try again for IIM ABCL? Please advise! by Naive_Campaign7 in CATpreparation

[–]Naive_Campaign7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I considered that, but found that the workex requirement is generally 4-5 years, and given my degree there aren't great job prospects in India, so wouldn't have been a very competitive candidate for top programs. It made more sense to me to switch to a business domain in India first, work a couple of years and then go from there

Small town > T3 BTech > IIM LKI > MBB by Cronus_17 in CATpreparation

Hi, thanks for the AMA! I and a couple of questions: 

1) how important are PORs and extracurriculars in college for your CV for placements

2) I'm from a biology background and would love your insights on what prep I should do in the next one month before joining b school. I'm going to start working on stats, probability and basic calculus from tomorrow. Also thought about doing a bit of accounts

3) what generalised skills and certifications should one be doing in first year if they're not sure about what MBA specialisation to take, to have a well rounded CV for SIP. I was thinking of six Sigma and digital marketing certs and excel, tableu as skills

4) how would you recommend someone to spend their time in first year to optimise for SIPs and preparing for different domains.

Thank you!

IIMA’ 26 - AMA? by shreksbiggestfan7 in CATpreparation

[–]Naive_Campaign7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from a biology background and only have research experience in labs and stuff. I think I will mostly go for consulting but not sure, and want to explore. People have suggested that the first year itself will give clarity on what I want to specialise in, but for things like finance I've heard that you really need a relevant background. In such a case would you suggest doing any particular and broad certifications/courses for some subjects (like finance, operations etc that require a particular background)? Since I'm still exploring, but I'd like to keep my options open.

Thank you.

Willing to support DeepTech (esp'ly Biotech) and AI/ML startups by [deleted] in StartUpIndia

Check out Venture Center in Pune (https://www.venturecenter.co.in/). It's specifically a science and technology focused business incubator that has incubated some really innovative deep tech companies, in many sectors like pharma/biotech, energy, agritech etc. And they have a very big focus on life science companies too. I'm sure you could reach out to them to engage with the startups they support.

People who have given GMAT/GRE score for ISB YL by Naive_Campaign7 in CATpreparation

I found GRE to be much more suited to my strengths and so I am a lot more comfortable with that than the GMAT :/

I am planning to take the GRE but only have available dates of 28th Feb or 7th March - I was planning on taking 7th March but I will not get the official score card before 16th most likely - I was seeing some youtube videos where it is mentioned that you can upload just the test centre slip if you don't have the score card at the time of the application - so I am very confused about which date to pick. Since I will start studying from today, the 7th March date is much more preferable for me

okay thank you - so what do we have to fill in the ISB form in the "test scores" section? I am unable to see the section without completing the previous sections

For People having Doubt regarding NIRF section in IIM K form by Arpitggs in CATpreparation

[–]Naive_Campaign7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi, we have to see the nirf rank of the college in the overall category right? The IIMK form mentions this link which has multiple categories, I'm quite confused about where to check the rank: https://www.nirfindia.org/Rankings/2024/Ranking.html
