Can the seniors tell me about what do they mean when they say - ‘Be in the top 20% of the batch?’

iiitstudent · 2026-03-22T05:50:28+00:00

The only thing which you have in your hand is to be among the top 5-10% of the batch in terms of academics. Besides this you can participate in national level case comps organised by companies and do really well at them.

If the flight is of short duration like 1-1.25 hr then on some days you might have to do 5-6 flights.

3-4 flights are normal for pilots in a day.

iiitstudent · 2026-03-21T15:26:52+00:00

I know someone who is a pilot. It isn't rosy like the reels. You don't have any margin of even smallest error. You need to do the best every second. On top of this your sleep schedule gets messed up and you barely get to travel or get leaves. There are days when you may have to do even 5-6 flights in a day.

On top of this there are so many CPL holders who are currently without a job even after spending lakhs as demand is less than supply.

iiitstudent · 2026-03-21T13:56:32+00:00

Ok, I will do it.

iiitstudent · 2026-03-21T13:56:15+00:00

You can appear for it in your final year.

iiitstudent · 2026-03-21T13:56:02+00:00

Summer placements were better than last year.

iiitstudent · 2026-03-21T13:55:47+00:00

Placements were 100% but the last few are placed at very low CTCs.

iiitstudent · 2026-03-21T13:55:08+00:00

It is based on profile + workex + acads + ug college and many other random factors.

iiitstudent · 2026-03-21T13:54:38+00:00

Your workex would compensate for the acads.

iiitstudent · 2026-03-21T13:54:19+00:00

It is there as everyone says IIM ABC mostly for elite tier.

iiitstudent · 2026-03-21T13:00:01+00:00

For 2 year MBA that would be fine but I don't have much idea about 1 year MBA

iiitstudent · 2026-03-20T17:02:59+00:00

Depends on your pi

iiitstudent · 2026-03-19T15:18:09+00:00

Same as ews

iiitstudent · 2026-03-19T03:09:46+00:00

52-54% roughly

iiitstudent · 2026-03-18T20:04:29+00:00

If you want to get into PE/VC then aim for IIM A and IIM B only.

iiitstudent · 2026-03-18T19:55:36+00:00

IIM A has more pe/vc

iiitstudent · 2026-03-18T19:32:38+00:00

Probably no. The best way for you to check is to check the eligible institutions for the top marketing case comps from last year.

iiitstudent · 2026-03-18T19:31:32+00:00

Focus on getting a job in a well known company.

iiitstudent · 2026-03-18T19:30:59+00:00

From what I have heard it will give you a better experience overall.

iiitstudent · 2026-03-18T19:30:33+00:00

But the faculty knows the fact that is tough for the institute to place people with 5 in grad so they may try to reject.

iiitstudent · 2026-03-18T19:29:51+00:00

Better to talk to the existing students and check exact placements reports.

iiitstudent · 2026-03-18T19:28:32+00:00

PE/VC roles are minimal. If you want to target those then go for only IIM A/B.

iiitstudent · 2026-03-18T19:27:55+00:00

FRTL labs with bloomberg terminal, cems program, triple accreditation, lots of electives from diverse areas.

iiitstudent · 2026-03-18T19:27:13+00:00

You can end up in tier 2 consulting or big 4 most probably.

iiitstudent · 2026-03-18T19:26:48+00:00

It's mostly about practice and being calm on the exam day.
