📌 NMIMS has opened up the application process by lowering the cutoffs massively. Everyone who has been shortlisted, now has a chance to get into NMIMS Mumbai.

With just a 20% weightage to NMAT score, a difference of 16 marks in NMAT will only make a 1 mark difference in the criteria. Nothing which can’t be managed.

It will, by and large, boil down to performance in the Competency Assessment.

So, whoever has been shortlisted (whether with high NMAT score or low), must login to the NMIMS account, fill the form and book a slot before the deadline. And then make travel arrangements to Mumbai! 😀

📣 Now that the response sheet has been released, please check your predicted percentile by uploading it on the CL site (https://www.careerlauncher.com/cat/uploadCat.jsp). However, note that there are only 3 colleges with deadlines that fall before the actual CAT percentile results are announced. For all other colleges, it’s advisable to wait until the official CAT results are declared before applying.

The 3 colleges which will get over before the CAT results and you will have to apply based on your predicted percentile:

1️⃣ IIFT (Indian Institute of Foreign Trade)

Application Deadline: 5th December
Action: Please check the earlier shared cutoff details and apply before the deadline if your predicted percentile aligns with the IIFT criteria.

2️⃣ TISS (Tata Institute of Social Sciences) Only for those interested to specialise in HR.

Application Deadline: 9th December
Action: TISS is participating in CAT for the first time, so there are no past cutoff data.
📌MHRMLR (Master’s in HR Management and Labour Relations): Do NOT apply if your expected CAT percentile is below 95 (for general category).
📌Candidates with at least 2 years of full-time work experience may also consider applying for ODCL(Organizational Development and Change Leadership), but only if their expected percentile is 92+.

3️⃣ ISB (Indian School of Business) – PGP YL (Post Graduate Programme for Young Leaders)

Application Deadline: 15th December (it may re-open for Round 2 in March)
Action: Start working on the application ASAP as it’s a detailed process.
Although this is a brand new program, ISB is highly reputable, and it is expected to become one of the top programs in the country, comparable to SPJIMR, MDI etc.
Profile-Based Shortlisting: ISB will consider your academic record, awards, achievements, LORs, essays, and CAT score. Apply only if your predicted CAT percentile is 90+, and you have a strong overall profile with excellent LORs and essays. Even with slightly lower CAT scores, a strong profile may enhance your chances.

For Other Colleges:
For other institutions with later deadlines, we recommend waiting for the official CAT results before applying. We’ll provide a detailed list of expected cutoffs for these colleges, which will help you make more informed decisions.

As always, feel free to reach out to us if you want to discuss anything in person or over a call.

📝 Important Note

Make sure to attend the non-CAT classes and appear for the mocks. Maintain the same rigour as you did for the CAT. The next month is important. Keep the momentum going.

The other important thing to look at is applying to various colleges under CAT. Apart from IIFT, TISS & ISB which will close by Dec 1st/2nd week and FMS/MDI/SPJIMR which are already closed, every other college will be available after the CAT results. So, don’t be in any hurry to apply to colleges.

GD/PI/WAT classes are going to start in December. Regardless of your performance in CAT, you must attend these classes without fail.

📌 FMS has started the application process.

After many years, FMS will close its application before the CAT itself. Do note that it is amongst the best MBA colleges in the country and the absolute best when it comes to ROI. Also, there is zero weightage to profile in the initial shortlisting. Even in the later stages, the weightage to profile is minimal. For these reasons, the CAT cutoff required to get into FMS is extremely high.

Last few years, FMS has given 40% weightage to the score in VARC section and 30% each to the other two sections for PI shortlisting. Additionally, female candidates are awarded 5 diversity points.

Synopsis


🗓 Last date to apply: 22.11.2024 (there maybe no extension)

🔗 Application Link: https://fmsadmissions2025.org/Registration

📌 Expected CAT cutoff: FMS shortlists on the basis of composite scores calculated from your scaled scores of each section in CAT. As per cutoffs of last year, it will be difficult to get shortlisted below the following overall percentiles in CAT-

🚹 Male General: 99.5 %ile
🚹 Male EWS: 98
🚹 Male NC-OBC: 97
🚹 Male SC: 95
🚹 Male ST: 90

🚺 Female General: 99

🚺 Female NC-OBC: 95
🚺 Female SC: 90
🚺 Female ST: 85

📌 MICA/MICAT I applications are going on. It is a very good option if you want to specialise in Marketing and Communication.

💰 Average Salary for the PGDM-C and PGDM batch of 2022-24 was 19 lacs per year. PGDM is a relatively new course. In your program preference, put PGDM-C first and then PGDM.

📝 MICA selection will be based on your MICAT score as well as your performance in CAT or XAT. MICAT is conducted twice a year. A candidate may choose to write either MICAT I or II or both. Better of the two MICAT Scores will be considered, if appeared for both the tests. Besides MICAT, you will also have to provide the scores of CAT and/or XAT.
(Mock MICAT tests are available in your online myzone account)

🗓️ MICAT I (last date to apply 22-Nov). Test on 7-Dec.

Synopsis


🗓 Last date to apply: 22.11.2024 (there maybe no extension)

🔗 Application Link: https://applyadmission.net/IIFT2025/
Separate application for IB and BA programs

📌 Expected CAT cutoff:
Same cutoff in IB for both campuses for GD/PI shortlisting. In other words, all shortlisted students will be eligible for both the campuses.

Last year, BA also had the same cutoff as IB.

➡️ Male General: 96.5 %ile (55 %ile in each section)
➡️ Male NC-OBC/EWS: 92 (50 in each)
➡️ Male SC/ST: 85 (30 in each)

🚺 Women candidates got 2 marks for diversity. So, for them the percentile cutoff will be lower by 1.5-2 %ile in each category above.
