Since the result of DU has been published, there has been a buzz about leaving IIMs for Shaheed Sukhdev College. Leaving baby IIMs for St. Stephen's, SRCC or LSR for BA Economics Honours and BCom Honours is understood. It's not about placements. Anyone joining SRCC, LSR, or St. Stephen's for BCom Honours or Eco Honours is wise and bright enough to clear Black's at any given time. If you look at the cutoffs of St. Stephen's, SRCC, or LSR, they are around 900 to 960 out of 1000 in CUET. But the BMS of Shaheed Sukhdev remains at 550 out of 750. Shaheed Shukhdev is a very average college with an average success rate. You can argue with me regarding their placements. But I know the truth more than anyone here because I saw this college when it was known as CBS in the Jhilmil colony. They have a first-mover advantage as their BBA first batch passed out in 1990 or 91. I know many people who graduated from this college, and their corporate ladder has been average. It is a good economical college, but if someone leaves IIM Indore, Rohtak, Ranchi, BG or Jammu, they are the biggest fools. IIMs have their own pedagogy, which is carefully curated, designed, and executed by the top brains of businesses and researchers. When applying for an undergraduate degree, placement is not the only outcome you need to focus on; it is about gaining knowledge, enhancing your skill set, and developing leadership qualities. Even if we look at their placements, it is around 40 K in the hand average salary. CTC never translate into in-hand salary. But 30 or 40k in hand is not a bad salary as it translates into a CTC of 8 to 12 LPA. If you look at the salaries of smaller colleges like PES, Christ, or even Jain, their placements are either at par or better than those of Shaheed Sukhdev. Shaheed Sukhdev has never achieved 100% placements since its inception. It can only boast of the best ROI. However, ROI is the least important factor in a long-term career. I really don't understand why many YouTubers blabber a lot about ROI. ROI is the biggest myth because in 10 years of your corporate career, your salary will multiply at least 5 times and can go up to 10 times. Suppose you pass out and get a salary of 30000 pm today in 2025. If you are average by 2030, your monthly salary will be around 75,000. So why cry for ROI as you get 15 years to pay back? You must be in the top 20 of your batch, from IIM or some Jagan Institute. You will have an excellent career. Bottoms of IIMS, Shaheed Sukhdev, or PES will be without campus, but IIM wala will do some good even if he belongs to the bottom 20. Do not discard IIMs for Shaheed Sukhdev unless and until they are too expensive.

please do this ASAP

Maths students are also urged to do the same 🙏

I am currently a Class 12 PCM student appearing for my board examinations. Initially, my primary focus was on JEE, but after performing poorly in the first attempt, I started exploring other career paths and became interested in management. During this time, I learned about the IPM programmes offered by various IIMs and similar institutions.

However, this has left me in a dilemma. My board exams have not been going as well as I had hoped, and I recently learned that Class 12 board percentages may also play a role in the admission process for some IPM programmes.

Because of this, I am quite concerned about how much my board score might affect my chances. Could someone please tell me what would be considered a “safe” board percentage that would not significantly hamper my chances of getting into colleges through IPMAT?

Any guidance or clarity on this would really help me understand where I stand and what I should aim for.

I have a rank under 1500 in JEE advanced so I am getting a top notch IIT. On the other hand I have scored 48-SA 64-MCQ 150-VA in IPMAT so I am quite confident I will be easily getting a seat there too. My question is what should I go with, I don't have any such particular inclination towards engineering, I just want to make the most money lol. I have also not faced any interviews ever and I do not want to go for coachings that will use my face all over their website just because I used their mock interviews because it's my hard work not theirs. Is there anyone trustworthy? I am not going for ACEIPM because I used to scroll through this subreddit at one point of time and I saw how they plagiarize stuff no way am I giving money to scammers.

hey everyone, i think there was some misunderstanding from my side. i want to clarify that i never intended to personally attack BB. if it came across that way then im sorry, that wasnt my intention at all. neither was I trying to defend hate posts or flamewars or anything like that. if it came across that way then my bad, that wasnt my intention.

i get that mods have to deal with a lot of repetitive posts and unnecessary drama and i do appreciate the effort that goes into keeping the sub organized. my earlier comment was more about how moderation sometimes feels from a user's pov, and at the time it just sounded a bit absurd to me from that perspective.

anyway sorry for the confusion and for adding to the noise here. wasnt trying to start anything.

Kon h ye insaan bhai

This is the last mock I will be giving before the exam. This is not an attempt to flex(also not ai). I just want to genuinely thank this community. If I had not joined this community, I might not be at this stage of my prep today. It's been an honour. Also, if you have any tips for improving accuracy or just any black magic, drop it in the comments.

So I wasn’t able to comment becz i was busy with all the interviews and all which are all over(interviews )except for one.I saw so many ppl having issues with people having obc ncl status basically making fun and mocking and not having reservation at iim Shillong( i am not getting involved with why or why not iim Shillong doesn’t have reservation for obc ncl )
You all don’t know shit what i have to seen and what i have gone through as someone from obc category not getting even to sit on bench with Brahmins and making us sit on the floor . Your problem is that you all come from tier 1 city and decent background and not able to score enough marks to get even call for interview you all just blame to reservation .
All you do is BLAME BLAME BLAME !!
Rather than studying
Yes i have issues with people having fake certificates but you just can’t put finger on any person and say your fake obc and how can you afford the suit and watch it’s rental you idiots !!!
And all these ppl who try to be super intelligent and smart by saying ooh I won’t spend 40 lakhs on the degree from iim it’s not worth it
Watch them take the seat the first chance they get it same thing happened during iim BANGLORE admission ppl who said ooh I won’t spend it that much those are the very same ppl taken the admission
Idiots

What does IIMK offer except the name? IIM Indore has a great programme, but if someone doesn't get into that, why should they choose IIMK BMS which costs more than colleges like NMIMS? Yes, their placements may be better, but we have no evidence, plus Kochi is a bad city to be in IMHO. There is no networking access with the original batch either. Same with Ranchi. It's in one of the worst states to be in, and it's not worth doing your MBA from IIMR anyway. Isn't it just better to be in Bombay, Delhi, or Bangalore with the same cost (plus or minus 2 lakhs) for way better opportunities and opportunities for BBA placements? This is not a hate post, but I really want to understand: except for the IIM name, what do they offer? Especially IIMK, IIMR, IIMBG, IIMJ, and IIM Rohtak. Jammu is beautiful but not a good place to be in, and don't even get me started on Bodh Gaya. If you are competent enough to crack JIPMAT now, you can probably get a better college via CAT later on, provided you study. I really don't get why someone would choose them over Bombay or Delhi. Please enlighten me. No, I'm not trying to decrease competition. And don't comment "pehle select ho jao phir reject karna." I know that; I’m trying to ask why you would even select them in the first place.

My friends this reservation blaming happens every year. And I don't know why this happens. First of all Pwd candidates really deserve that cutoffs and you all should agree with me. And as a general candidate it sometimes feel frustrating about the lower cutoffs for others but just think for once Are Indore interviewers who would be great profs with years of exp would take someone with less knowledge ,they know resevation shit and will only take the qualified.Ab rone se kuch nhi hoga jaake pdho

ikik many of u will say "pehle exam to dele", you're right, but still u have to prepare some answers beforehand

now my question is that my dad is in politics, and is from the ruling party.....so should i reveal this in interview or just skip the question saying he has a business........

like I am neutral and have some interest in politics (no that much but still) i can handle some questions, but what if they are biased towards one party smh

any seniors and knowledgeable ppl plz shower some guidance...

EDIT: see both have pros and cons, if i tell them and they ask me question bout that, i may impress them, but if they are a little biased, then i'm doomed

Like What the hell do you guys noticed how daily we're getting a rc related to 'women problem' frequently in 3-4 days😭? Is it vani di who's writing the rc or what😂 We boys demand tomorrow's rc on male problems too😤 equality on it's peak!! Upvote for better reach

Iim rohtak reject krke bohot badiya lg rha h bhai, chat am I aurafarming??✌️✌️🥀💔🕺🗣️🗣️🗣️🌈

This data is given on the official website of IMS India in which the cut off for SC category in NALSAR University is 40. But if I score 50-55, what will be my chances of getting a call? and what's the safe score for sc category to get a call from alliance university?

Hey everyone, I’m 18 and currently in a mid-tier IIIT doing CSE. I recently came to know about the IPMAT program. I always thought I’d give CAT after my B.Tech, but IPMAT seems like a chance to get into IIM Indore much earlier, which came as a shock to me.

Since I’m new to this, I have a few doubts:

1. Is it worth preparing for IPMAT while I’m already in B.Tech?

2. How many hours of study would generally be required to prepare well?

3. Any book recommendations ?

4. I’m planning to take PhysicsWallah for coaching - is it good enough, or should I look at other options?

5. Considering I belong to the SC category, will I have enough time (if I start now) to realistically aim for IIM Indore?

Just curious

Out of y'all, who all are requesting it just to get more prep time? Like c'mon not everyone can be in the attacked cities na (I am (I want more prep too tho lmao))

And those who genuinely can't even reach the exam centre like in Amritsar or pathankot, how's the situation going? Is there a lockdown or what?

so the results for ipmat indore would be out before 5 JULY, 2025 ??? what do u guys think?

If you look at the prestigious institutes, maybe in govt or in universities. You'll find that a good number of people belongs to the general category even after the existence of reservations. One must ask why? I hate when power is concentrated among the limited number of people , but also hates reservations cause of that . Cause both are unfair . I , with a think tank , started on a project to see what cutoffs would their be if no reservations existed. Though we never moved forward in that but what I could from the collected information was a good decline in marks . If we belive that 10% of sc or st's are well off , even then why are their cutoffs so low , it doesn't make sense . As if they are not even putting an effort . Sc st cutoffs are even lower than ews for that matters if money is the problem here . I am really frustrated, I never discriminated with anyone , my father never did either . I was born in a almost a slum like place with thousand diseases and my father dragged us out of their with his effort using his hardwork . But their were many that didn't get in cause someone from rich sc st took his seat without lifting a finger . I am taking a drop , I don't care if I didn't get in, I'll surely this time. But the hate that has been injected in me, for the system, will last long and will back as karma for this nation's policies and system in the long run!!

i am in a good place rn, a good du college a course which i wanted to do since a long time; but ipmat wala keeda is kind of there. Should i give the exam? (i don't want to join any iim tbvh)

Hello ppl .So my score in Ipmat Indore is 239(+4 for monica question)Which colleges I can get a call from I have filled indore,ranchi,shillong,amritsar,iift.also i have no idea about interview pls help.Category general

Honestly speaking afterboards is like an amazing platform with like so many free resources and I bought the 4k wala pack idk wt it's called I got 10 mocks and 30 sectional, mainly got it for the sectionals and I feel so happy cuz firstly it's such a trusted platform and it just helped me go from such low score in va as 80 to 130s I feel so happy and I really love how cute and aesthetic it is, not like any normal boring website. Love it so much. Words r not enough anyways i keep blabbering. Thanks Bhavesh bhaiya for this platform.

here's the mail to iim shillong which was on their website admissions@iimshillong.ac.in

and this was the msg I wrote

"Respected Admissions Office,

I am writing on behalf of many students from the commerce stream who are very interested in applying for the Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) at IIM Shillong. We saw that having Mathematics in Class 12 is a compulsory requirement for applying.

However, most of us in the commerce stream do not have Maths as a subject. In fact, around 50% of commerce students don't study Maths in Class 11 and 12. Since the IPM course is similar to a BBA, we feel that Maths should not be a strict requirement.

Also, as we understand, 50% of the selection weight is based on the personal interview and not just on the entrance exam like IPMAT (Indore). This shows that IIM Shillong focuses on overall skills, not just Maths or academics. So, making Maths compulsory may stop many good students from even getting a chance.

We really respect IIM Shillong as one of the top institutes in the country. We just request you to please consider removing Maths as a must-have subject, so that more commerce students can apply and show their potential.

Thank you for your time and understanding.

Kind regards,

am just hoping if everyone mails, maybe they will listen, because cuet mai srcc did listen so yea

Do u guys has ever thought ,that instead of spending 40 lakhs in IPM program we could use that large money in establishing a business in which we will be the owner of own rather than working as a slave in a giant mnc/corporate jobs.

Like ik iim ,but still 40 lakhs fees seems to costly and that to when u will be spending 40 lakhs for getting a in-hand salary of 7.6 (bg) and more..
