Weight of 10% is assigned to Work-Ex which is small enough to be compensated against a good performance in Online Test, Essay and PI so concentrate on things which you can change.

All the best.

Mostly offers are in the range of 5.5 to 15 LPA so far, but I don't have exact numbers yet since there are a few multiple offers as well and some are yet to be accepted, will wait for official figures to come and will let you all know.

Hi as per the brochure,

The duration of the test would be 120 minutes and the maximum marks are 100.

1. Quantitative Aptitude - 40%
2. Analytical and Reasoning Skills - 25%
3. Language Proficiency - 25%
4. General Knowledge of Financial Markets - 10%

Each question would be a multiple choice question with four choices. Each correct answer would carry one mark. There would be negative marking of 0.25 for every wrong answer.

If I get sample paper I will share it here.

Events and activities are organised relevant to the course, at the same time we are not a B-School so there is difference in approach of a regular B-School and a specialized program, however we are given sufficient inputs apart from class, to be competitive in industry.


For placement details see my previous posts.
