Admission

I got selected for the Indian Institute of Management Bodh Gaya. I took CAT as an entrance exam and scored 91.97 percentile. The minimum eligibility to apply for CAT is to have a government-recognized undergraduate certificate. After clearing the overall and sectional cut-off in the entrance exam, I was shortlisted for the SAP process where a personal interview happened. After the SAP process, the institute shortlists candidates based on PI and marks. EOI and Documents need to be filled after that. EOI opens around March, no fees are needed for the same. The application form needed to be filled along with the CAT form, which opens in September.

Faculty's dedication towards the subject
The Newly constructed campus and hostels
Laundry services and the canteen availability

Dislikes

Mandating of unnecessary tasks by various bodies
Mess food could have been better in quality
No transparency of any process with the students

Course Curriculum Overview:

The courses were harvard style case methodologies mostly, which could have been better with more practical exercises and examples. Simulation exercises were also their but not that effective. Teaching methods were ppt based.

Life at IIM BG

IIM Bodh Gaya has a pretty simple admission process through CAP and SAP. It started with filling out a CAT form for around INR2000. It usually begins in July month. The frequency of this exam is once per year. I am a general-category student. Although the process is very smooth during interviews student need to wait for hours in meeting rooms without knowing their turn so this could be improved....Read More
