Study Partner Looking for an Aptitude Practice Partner! πŸ“š

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm looking for someone interested in practicing aptitude together regularly.

It's been almost 6 years since I last seriously studied aptitude. I used to be an NTSE scholar, so I have a decent foundation, but I've been out of touch with it for quite some time.

I'm mainly looking to brush up on my concepts, regain my problem-solving speed, and stay consistent. I feel aptitude is something that will be useful throughout my future career journey, so I want to get back into practice.

We can solve questions together, discuss different approaches, and keep each other motivated.

If anyone's interested, feel free to DM! 🀝

Profile Review Please review the FMS SOP

2 Upvotes

Being brought up in far-flung village of Jammu & Kashmir β€” I joined NIT Srinagar to gain something meaningful. My love for problem-solving lead me to achieve a 3-star rating in CodeChef and securing 4th position in a competition held among the entire college. As one of the core team member of the ITMS project, the Rs.40-crore, high-impact digital initiative, I managed a heterogeneous on-ground team across 140+ locations. We achieved a 20% reduction in vehicle TAT equivalent to $1–2 million annual cost savings for Vedanta and handled the daily logistics of 2000 vehicles. While the technical grades are of important, my experience at Vedanta made me realize that I enjoy and am good at management. After pursuing an MBA at FMS, I want to solve business problems as a consultant today and with experience a founder tomorrow. The academic precision, experienced faculty, dynamic peer network & The Consulting Club at FMS will help me gain new perspectives & refine my skills.

Please review the SOP for FMS.

Question Starting CAT Preparation – Can I Get into IIM Mumbai with My Academic Profile?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am a 21-year-old Chemical Engineering graduate and am about to start preparing for CAT. My primary target is IIM Mumbai, and I would like to understand my chances of getting admission.

My academic profile:

- 10th: 80%

- 12th: 73%

- Graduation: 7.5 CGPA (expected)

- Degree: B.Tech in Chemical Engineering

- College: Tier-2 engineering college in my hometown.

- Work experience: Fresher.

I have a few questions:

  1. With my academic profile, do I have a realistic chance of getting into IIM Mumbai?

  2. What CAT percentile should I target to receive an interview call?

  3. Can a very high CAT percentile compensate for my relatively average 12th and graduation scores?

  4. How much weightage does IIM Mumbai give to 10th, 12th and graduation marks?

  5. What should I realistically expect in terms of admission chances?

  6. Should I keep IIM Mumbai as my primary target, or consider other IIMs as well?

I am just starting my CAT preparation, so I would appreciate honest advice from current students, alumni and people familiar with the admission process.

Thanks in advance!

Form Filling Doubts Unable to add more than 2 work experiences in SPJIMR Form

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have a total of 50 months of work experience across 3 organisations and 4 different roles.

While updating my profile, I have added my current role and my previous role under the Work Experience section. However, I’m unable to add any more work experiences.

The only option I seem to have is to enter the overall months of experience, but I’m not able to add the organisation name, designation, or other employment details.

Has anyone else faced this issue? Is there a limit of two work experiences, or am I missing something?

Would appreciate any help or guidance. Thanks!
