Hi,
Its difficult to predict what would be the cut off this year.. it all remains to be seen.
last year the cut off for getting a GD PI call was 87.5 percentile.
and as far as i m concerned.. i had 92.48 percentile.

What abt XAT???Does IFMR accept XAT scores...can u give details regarding the number of seats,fees,etc....

Hi,
Yes, IFMR accepts XAT scores as well and the cut off is same for both the exams.
As for seats.. there are three programs running here at IFMR
PGDM : 60 Seats
PDDM-FE : 30 Seats
PGDM-D&SF; : 30 Seats

for fees you have to refer to the prospectus.

how can i apply using both CAT and XAT scores?? Should i get two application forms??

You have to apply separately for each if u want to apply for CAT and XAT..For further information,click here

Hi
I don't think that this is the case. In our time we had to fill just one form in which we had to mark that which of the scores do we want to be considered. and anyways.. best of the two were considered.
So.. better verify the process by calling up on the number given on website.
or i may ask and tell you people.. but for that you will have to wait coz we are having our exams going on

hi all...what is the cut off percentile for IFMR ?

Hi Mohit..
The thing is that the college never discloses the exact weightage they give to work ex whether be it in a professional firm or family business. I guess its completely on the descretion of the interviewer.
do mention your work-ex in the application form.. then you will be asked relevant questions on your work. and if they will be satisfied that you have actually worked then you are sure to earn points.

But there's a point of contention in you 12th marks. last year there was a cap on the application criteria that you have to have 60% throughout. so before filling up the form... look for the eligibility criteria this year...
if you want we can confirm this from the management but currently we are having our trimester break so the college is closed till 4th. so you will have to wait.

There's a minimum eligibility of 60% in 10th/12th/grad. So be clear about it before you apply:

Hi..
PGDM Financial engineering is a very specialized course requiring a good deal of mathematical acumen. the eligibility criteria is that you should be having engineering background or should have you graduation in either Statistics or Mathematics.
as for its placements.. the first batch is still to pass out. earlier this course was being run as an executive program of one year. It held very good reputation and is considered as the only course in india of this nature..
