I want to know how the placements are for a fresher, GEM, who doesn't come from brand colleges like IITs or NITs but have a decent overall profile. Also, what are the chances of such a person getting into a consulting firm, given the humongous batch size at IIM Lucknow?

You will get decent opportunities here. But existing Brand names on CV do matter. Also, if you have good points on your CV, you will get opportunities for consulting

Hi Abishake .. What is the over all cost for 2 years in IIM L .. Do we get any loans from the banks for the same ?

Hi Abishake! I know this question is not exactly pertaining to IIM L, still I am curious so as to the percentile correspondence of AIMCAT/BULLCAT percentiles to that of actual CAT. My percentile ranges in AIMCAT have been varying from 91-98 with a median of 94 percentile.. What according to your experience is the correspondence between these percentiles?

It keeps changing i.e the fees is revised. For 2015-17, it was around 14-15 lakhs! Yes you get loans from all leading banks

These are a good indication of how you will perform in CAT. AIMCATs are generally tougher and you are scoring very well. Keep up your performance!

Thanks a lot Abishake! One more query, is joining an B-school immediately after graduation advantageous or should I take some job experience first? I have been placed through campus placements at an job with 5.5 LPA package. My 12th percentages is comparatively low @ 76% and my graduation marks are not that great too (73%, which corresponds to top 1% of the course, but is low as compared to other colleges in South India). So I was thinking whether Job experience will compensate for the 12th and Grad marks?

Sir like I have a query that like I want to go into enterprenuership and wants to handle family business in that case should I go for regular MBA degree or should courses for programmes in Enterprenuership like in EDI,Gujrat?

Hi Abhishek sir, Does certificates from online sources like edx gives upper hand to the candidate?

04:35 PM

Abhinav Sareen

I mean like I want to go into entrepreneurship and family business so which would be more helpful, a regular MBA degree from top notch institute or joining courses in Entrepreneurship would help me more? I am not sure to take a drop to prepare for CAT or to join such courses.. MY 10th and 12th 86% and BTech 85%
