IMT Ghaziabad Critical Thinking Test is generally a 30-minute-long Test, which evaluates a candidate on three parameters: Critical Thinking, Written Communication Skills, and Innovation & creativity.
You certainly can. IMT, Ghaziabad considers more than just academic records for admitting students.
IMT Ghaziabad Admissions Process Weightages for:
- 35% CAT/GMAT/XAT/CMAT score
- 35% academic score and 35% brand value of the graduating institute
- 10% Work Experience
- WAT - 5%
- PI - 15%
Regardless of your academic credentials, make your profile stand out. Work hard for the CAT, WAT, and PI rounds.
A minimum of 94%ile in CAT will help you convert IMT, Ghaziabad, and TAPMI based on your interview performance.
In TAPMI, the weight of GD/PI is 45% and IMT, Ghaziabad has less weightage on PI at 15%.
Management quota seats are seats at colleges in India that are set aside for members of the management, trust, clergy, and VIPs. According to the institution, there are between 5 and 10% of seats available. The college and trust have complete discretion over who gets to sit in these seats. The existence of management quota seats in institutes like IMT Ghaziabad, IMI Delhi, and MDI Gurgaon is not well known. For students who are unable to get admission on their own through the entrance tests, this opportunity is available. The fees for these seats are not disclosed by the institutes on any platform. For admission to the management quota seat, you have to contact these colleges at the phone numbers provided on their websites. You first have to check your eligibility and then have to pay a huge amount.
No, IMT Ghaziabad does not have admission through the management quota. The institute follows a transparent admission process based on merit and performance in entrance exams such as CAT, XAT, and GMAT. All the candidates who meet the eligibility criteria and clear the cut-off score are called for the selection process, which includes a group discussion and a personal interview.
The final selection is based on a composite score that takes into account the candidate's academic background, work experience, entrance test score, and performance in the selection process. The institute values integrity and fairness in its admission process and does not have any provision for management quota seats.
In choosing your B-school, the primary factors that you should consider are, the specialization you want to opt for and the ROI you are expecting. In your case, you want to go for Finance. The list of preferred B Schools you mentioned has similar fees and placements so I will be answering solely based on specialization.
Finance: IMI Delhi is the best choice of all the options when it comes to Finance. A premium quality crowd opts for Finance at IMI Delhi and the main reason is the customized MBA program in Finance. Many companies of the Finance sector visit the campus for placements. Finance students also avail the best opportunities and guidance and have a higher level of security than Marketing students.
However, in case you have more than 2-3 years of work experience, IMI Delhi is not a suitable option. Although you may stand out among your batchmates, the companies visiting the campus are not aware of this and offer roles suitable for less experienced students only. So your work experience may not be credited here.
The general preference order should be: IMI D>XIMB>IMT G
Leaving a job with such good pay is a very risky decision and should be considered only if it’s the top B School you are after. These include the top IIMS, XLRI, FMS, SP JAIN, or MDI. Giving up your high-paying job to join IMT Ghaziabad does not make sense. The ROI will not be worth the program considering the two-year opportunity loss of salary and high IMT fees.
Moreover, IMT Ghaziabad placements are quite restricted in the sense that if you are not among the top 100 students in a batch of 600 students, you will end up with an average package only. The companies visiting IMT Ghaziabad offer the MT position usually to freshers and not students with work experience. Considering all this I don’t think leaving your job for an MBA from IMT Ghaziabad is a wise decision.
People from NIT and IITs should definitely get admission to IMI Delhi or IMT Ghaziabad. Unlike the general misconception that people from ivy graduate colleges should go for the top PG colleges also, IMT and IMI are rather good choices. If an Institute helps you to build your career then the brand value hardly matters.
I have seen many people who after graduation from NIT and IITs join IMI and are glad to do so. My brother completed his graduation from DTU Delhi and joined IMI for MBA and claims that he was able to learn so many new things in the first 6 months. One of my friends also joined IMI after completing his Engineering from NIT Uttarakhand.
So what I actually mean is people from NIT and IIT can definitely pursue their MBA from IMI and IMT and won’t regret this decision.
To predict the chances of clearing the IMT Ghaziabad waitlist, we need to compare it with colleges of similar levels. Some of them include SCMHRD, XIMB, IMI, Great lakes, etc. All these B Schools are Grades B.
- Candidates shortlisted in the first list of IMT have around 30% chances of getting shortlisted in an A grade school
- Candidates shortlisted in the first list of IMT have around 20% chances of getting shortlisted in B Grade schools like SCMHRD
From this, we can conclude that almost 50% of students withdraw from their admission to the first merit list. Around 50-85 additional candidates can get a seat. However, the second merit list has lower chances of vacant seats.
The IMT Ghaziabad PGDM Selection Process has been recently updated and aspirants are shortlisted based on their CAT or XAT scores Shortlisted candidates are called for Selection Process which includes
- Critical Thinking
