Is it true that 120 random students of BM will be shifted to the new campus? And if someone doesn't want to go to the new campus will he/ she be allowed to stay at the new campus
Hi, I have applied for BM program through both XGMAT and CAT. How will the merit list be prepared? Will it take the best of the two exams or through any other process? And can you provide the cutoff for Domicile XGmat as well as sectional cutoffs in it.
I wish to get into XIMB through GMAT, and will be writing the exam just for XIMB. But I hava a abysmal academic record--10th -72, 12th-73, B.E-63. Do I stand a chance? If yes, what GMAT score will keep me in good stead?
I humbly request you to give a honest reply as the exam costs arms and legs. It will be a wild goose chase if my acads eventually hold me back. And if the GMAT is taken in February 2019, will the score be accepted? I won't be able to score high enough if I write it before February.
my academics are , 80% in 10th, 68.66 % in 12th and still in BBA. I am from Odisha. Can you guys please tell me the cut-off for MBA HRM through CAT, XAT and X-GMAT for Odisha Domicile....(Sectional cut-offs too)
