What kind of profile is required to clear the CAT interview for IIM Ahmedabad?

One of the primary factors to note while applying for admissions at IIMA is that there is a core focus on attaining student diversity as compared to academic scores.

One of my brothers got shortlisted for admissions at top institutes like CAP, IIM K, and IIMA. It was solely because he had a unique profile to offer. Apart from academics, he had a YouTube channel with 5000 subscribers and 10 Lakh overall channel views.

• Unique Profile: Along with academics, focus on building a unique profile to stand out from your competitors. This can be done through anything like writing a blog, writing on quora, being really good at sports, having a good digital presence on social media and influencing minds, and so on.
• Domain-specific: Be sure of the domain you want to choose and pay attention to the requirements and competition. This will help you understand how to build your profile better.
• Social Media: Furthermore, having a presence on social media or building a unique profile will definitely be an added advantage when it comes to MBA internships and placements. It also brings great insight into understanding the various aspects of the digital world such as SEO, and SEM tools.
• Research Thoroughly: Get as much information that you can about the institute and understand the difference between all the domains of study, since each one has a vast difference in terms of requirements. Competition is another factor that must be considered.
• Create Balance: In order to prepare, create a good balance between decent academic scores and building a strong unique profile which can then become the USP of your application. This will definitely help in cracking the CAT interview for IIMA applications.

Keeping the above-given factors in mind should help you for admissions at IIMA.
