how cool is that when you said decent score in 12th 10th with 85 or 90 percentage wow

[@aditya_shelar]

Haha, can sense the sarcasm! Though there were some students with 9/9/9 profile in our college, and comparing with these stats- I genuinely consider my profile 'decent'!

[@DivyamSomani]

Aditya bhai my 10th is 91 and 12th 73 and grad was something 89 and completing cma - cost and management accountancy csn i chance of iim or fms or jbims please reply and give some suggestions.

[@aditya_shelar]

Yes, you have good chances of making it to tier 1 colleges! Focus on getting a good CAT score. And if you plan to get prior experience before MBA - it will definitely help you during the placements (still its optional, just make sure you get the CMA charter before joining B-school).

[@diehearteddibyayon4573]

Bhaiya i had 67% in class 10, class 12 - 92% Graduation - 84% kitna percentile or marks on cat score will i get a call?

[@aditya_shelar]

Such speculations are pointless, just focus on doing your BEST in CAT (target hamesh a100%ile rakhna), uske baad jo bhi result ho, will can figure the best strategy in given scenario. All the best! :))

[@prabhakardakhore7074]

New video suggetion: CAT prep strategy!

[@aditya_shelar]

Thanks for the suggestion Prabhakar, will release a prep-strategy video for CAT 2024!

Sir in india mba graduate not earning more even in foreign only graduation student earning in crore this due to over populated country India what is your research and opinion

[@aditya_shelar]

Career in India and abroad are two different ball game. For example, if aspire to be Google's global leader (C-suite or senior leadership) then one should definitely consider going abroad, specifically targeting the likes of Harvard, MIT and others. If you aspire to grow in the local leadership structure, continuing the same example of Google- India level senior leader / C-suite, then targetting BLACKI / ISB / FMS should be the target. In other context of getting placements and ROI risk factors, it depends on the brand of the college, economic conditions of the job market, and other factors - difficult to generalise this answer! But I hope you got the overall context. The best way ahead would be - give your best in converting best possible B-school and then build over on the work experience and networking skill over time.

[@yeshukumar]

Hello, What are the chances of a 32 year old getting into a full time programme vs an executive programme.? 8 years of experience but mainly looking for a career switch from a government job. Looking for your inputs please.

[@aditya_shelar]

Hi, I would highly recommend going for an executive MBA, given your experience and exposure gained over time. You can target consultancy firms during placements that offer govt advisory services.

[@stockmarkettrust]

My father run a school i am b. Com graduate pass out in 2021 i want to do executive mba from iim what i show as a experience for mba executive regular iim executive mba same value as 2 yr mba

[@aditya_shelar]

If you have full-time work experience - the salary slips would do, and in case you ran/were part of a business, then IT returns will suffice. For MBA, appear for CAT, ideally with 0 to 3 years of experience, target a full-time 2 year MBA. For executive MBA, appear for GMAT if you have 3+ years of experience.

[@noharsahu8791]

Bhaiya non engineer obc kitne mai call ayega 😊

[@aditya_shelar]

Hi, agar aap sab academic criteria clear kr rhe ho, aur har ek sectional cut off clear hai, then 95% plus will be enough with non engineering background.

[@singh-u6n]

Is IIM Lucknow preferred HR courses in MBA?

[@stockmarkettrust]

Sir agar top business school nahi mila cat ke through mba finance ke अलावा cfa better option

[@aditya_shelar]

Good question - I will cover this in my next Q&A series! :)

[@ommamgain97]

Bhaiya Aapne BCom ke saath saath konse course kre the? I also want to go to the top IIMs. By the way Very nice and Informative video.

[@aditya_shelar]

Hi Aatreya, along with BCom, I had completed US CMA, FRM and CFA level-1; and I also had 2 years of experience - by the time I sat for CAT, and 3 years of experience by the time I joined IIM Lucknow. Professional courses are optional, they amplify your CV’s impact, however, fundamentally I would recommend you to focus on good acads, CAT score and work experience (joining a B-school as a fresher is fine as well). I hope this helps! All the best :)

[@ommamgain97]

@@aditya_shelar thanks bro much appreciated

[@thatunemployedfrend]

How did you explain low percentage in your graduation?

[@aditya_shelar]

Two things- extra curricular (I had won research paper competition and national case study competition) and secondly, professional exams- had passed FRM both parts and CFA L1 during SY and TY of graduation.

[@sumithsumith5927]

after giving cat exam , do we have to give interview to get into iim?

[@aditya_shelar]

Yes, each college has a different process.

[@jaiprakash-lx9rl]

do each candidate have to NDA for their CAT score .

[@aditya_shelar]

Hi Jaiprakash, yes- all students have to sign an NDA with college regarding CAT scores and Placement Process (packages offered).

[@Matrixglitch2]

Mba in sustainable management ka placement kesa hai iim Lucknow ka ?

[@aditya_shelar]

It’s good! You can check official report on IIML’s website.

[@thescalpingtrader7672]

Bhaiya cat mein kitna percentile aaya tha pls batao

[@aditya_shelar]

Sorry, as I have signed the NDA, cannot reveal the same!

Hi Fenil, I am covering this in one of my videos coming soon, stay tuned! Thanks :)

[@Sroy07345]

Hey, total how many seats are there for pgp-sm?

[@aditya_shelar]

I was part of the 7th batch, we had approx 34 seats, the following batch has 40 seats. The usual trend I have seen across b-schools is 5x to 10x calls being sent out. (Maybe 200 to 400 calls will be sent out based on CAT and profile score.) I hope these stats help you, all the best! :)

[@Sroy07345]

@@aditya_shelar Hey, thanks for your response. Can you please help with this doubt, would it be very challenging for me to get a placement in SM given my very avg past acads - 82/ 78/ 74 non eng? I have recently received the call.

[@piyushsingh00]

10-83 12- 89 Bcom h 75% du Obc ncl Percentile?

[@aditya_shelar]

Percentile ka tension mat lo bhai, just try to give your best! (Safe side - 95%ile plus BLACKI calls ajayenga). Best wishes for CAT 2024! :))

[@piyushsingh00]

​​@@aditya_shelarthanks bro i wanna know one thing also that when we will know converter calls

[@aditya_shelar]

@@piyushsingh00 Typical timeline- Nov 24 - CAT exam Jan 25 - Result is out and you get an email from the colleges where you become eligible to apply (for example, if your score is eligible for IIML admit, you will get an email to fill up admission form) Feb to April- GD, Essay, Interviews May onwards- calls are out June/July - admit time

[@stockmarkettrust]

Sir answer my question initially i comment

[@aditya_shelar]

I have answered all your questions, thank you for continuous support! :)

[@HstlewithRohit]

Hello sir ! My profile is poor 7/7/7 & diploma in CFIA & some other computer certifiactions can I get into top IIM specially L & K? How much percentile required with this profile?

[@aditya_shelar]

This profile is not poor, yes, comparatively not a stellar one, but given you are from non-engineering background - this will help you with academic diversity, plus if you ace CAT really well, you can make it to any of the top 20 colleges in India - promising good career scope ahead. Personal note: Don't give up so soon! Fight for success, fight for glory, hard-work might be the only weapon you got, but it is worth every unit of effort, all the best! :))

[@youtubekalia6104]

Sir my academics are poor like in 10,12 I got 70% and in college I got 8cgpa and I'm obc cate if I score 99% in cat? It is possible to get into iim L? Non engineering background!!

[@aditya_shelar]

Hi, you have two big advantages - NC OBC reservation and academic diversity, with this I think 99%+ is a safe score to expect a call for all BLACKI colleges (just make sure that you are able to clear all sectional cutoffs as well). I hope this helps, all the best! :))
