Will poor marks in 12th (around 68%) and a drop year have any affect on IPM IIM Indore interview?

SU
Sidhant Unnithan Posted On : January 2nd, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Indore

Obviously, a low score may affect your interview but only a little. The key is to justify your low scores confidently and also answer any questions that are asked from your 12th syllabus.

Another way is to highlight your extra-curricular activities and achievements. Mention your other strengths but don’t lie about anything.

As far as the drop year is concerned I don’t think it will be much of a hurdle in your selection process because a major chunk of IPM students has taken a drop year. Still, you should be able to specify the reason for the same if asked.

My waitlist number for SCMS Pune is 69. What are the chances of getting final admission?

TS
Tanushree Sengupta Posted On : July 6th, 2021
PGDM MBA in Human Resources & General Management, Xavier Institute of Social Service, Ranchi (2020)

If your waiting list number lies within the first 100 then you have more chances to get into that. Most of the students that get into the first list have a waiting list number below 100.

I have a friend who is an alumnus of SCMS, Pune and she had many classmates who got admission through the 2nd and 3rd list. Most of them had a rank within 150.

Every year SCMS usually publishes a 2nd and 3rd list. Usually, the 2nd and 3rd waiting list comes out by 10 days or a week after the fee payment is done by the first waiting list candidates.

According to the current cutoff trends, you have a good rank and a valid chance to secure admission at SCMS.
