How are the two IPMAT exams different? Should I appear for both IIM Indore and Rohtak or should I just take the exam for IIM Indore?
IIM Indore IPMAT is influenced entirely in favor of candidates who took math in the 12th standard. The quant is entirely from math class 12th.
The quant and Lr sections of the IIM ROHTAK IPMAT are fairly simple for anyone who has thoroughly reviewed all the topics. Both entrances share a lot of similarities in the verbal section. You must have a solid command of the English language. It is impossible to compare IPM INDORE and Rohtak. Take both exams, but don't give Rohtak any thought. Just decide what you want to achieve at IIM Indore.
Strive to earn it. Both entrances have entirely different Quant sections. Just read through Rohtaks' curriculum for the time being. It won't take much of your time. Review your math from grades 11 and 12 for IIMI. Create a daily routine of reading the newspaper and answering questions for verbal. Start reading books, novels, and magazines if you have the time.
What are your views on IIM ROHTAK IPMAT PI Shortlisting criteria?
The IIM Rohtak IPMAT PI shortlisting criteria are very unfair and biased. Although the maximum weightage is given to the IPMAT, almost every other candidate is shortlisted for the PI.
The IPMAT exam carries only 45% weightage in the final selection process. The rest goes to other parameters such as IPMAT Score, Personal Interview (PI), and Past Academics, the results for the same are announced in the month of August. It seems the IPMAT test is a mere formality and they solely focus on past academic performance. They shortlist 5000 students just for the selection of 150 students. This gives the students false hope and the ones with average academic records work very hard for the Aptitude Test and yet don’t get selected. Hardly any weightage is given to the Aptitude Test and WAT. The actual weightage is mainly given to past academic scores and PI.
Should I join IIM Rohtak this year or appear for CAT again next year?
Honestly speaking CAT is a very unpredictable exam and one should not risk his career by forgoing such an opportunity and relying on the CAT solely. I will suggest you avail this fantastic opportunity of getting into IIM Rohtak especially if you
- are a fresher and have an academic drop of more than a year
- have more than 3 years of experience
- are a GEM who managed to get into an IIM
In either of these cases it’s highly recommended you just grab this fantastic opportunity and give up on sitting for CAT again.
Usually, an MBA is ideal for working professionals who already have some experience at hand. The MBA program further helps you connect certain subjects to your experience working in an organization, which is good for learning. But there are instances wherein even freshers end up landing high-paying jobs. In the end, it’s just your own willpower and determination which decides if you are ready to join a B School or not.
