Hello Sir!

As far as the cut offs are concerned, I remember have cleared all of them individually.
Still on verifying the admission results page on the site says I have not been shortlisted.

Also am not been able to verify my result on the IRMA site.

Got a GD-PI call for PGDM-RM. Cleared the cutoffs through both IRMA (90.68 ) and CAT (93.39). Had missed out on IRMA despite clearing the overall cutoffs (76) because of one sectional cutoff.
Is there any weightage given on the scores in the qualifying examinations (CAT/XAT/IRMA) during final selection? Or is it completely based on your performance during the GD-PI round?

Thanks sincerely,
Sourodip Ghosh

got a call....

for rm thru IRMA score

I have given mumbai as centre ne one from mumbai 😲

PGDM-RM certainly does not mean that you need to work in rural areas only. Most of our alumni is working in urban areas only though their project might be focused on rural areas. As a rural manager you have ample opportunities in rural marketing, rural finance, development as well as in entrepreneurship. For more insights into rural marketing and the opportunities in rural areas you can read 'Fortune at the bottom of the pyramid' by C.K.Prahalad.

hello seniors,

I've got a call for ximb-rm thru Irma score- 71 percentile

could you please guide on how to prepare for gd-pi

what kinda topics should be given more focus?
will they ask too many subject related questions? I've done my bachelors of business studies.

Hi Seniors,

Thanks for opening a new thread separately for RM.

Pls let us know about the fieldwork that would be there as part of the curriculum of RM.In case of IRMA, this is around 40-45 percent.

Also, if one could share last year's GD/PI process specifically for RM that would be very helpful.

In terms of placement, would there be any consulting agencies ( catering specifically to RM).How is the job scenario due to the recent recession this year.

Rgds,
SJ

Freshers will be asked a bit on academics and how one can relate your studies to Rural Management.

GD topics - Current awareness with more catering on rural areas.Pratogyita Darpan is a good book to read, nice articles in TOI ( Editorial Section) and Hindu too.

Seniors, pls correct/add on.

Please note that the GD Topics can be varied and diversified ranging from the field of Agriculture to Indian Economy and Poverty Eradication to Development Sector.

Please go through the Ministry of Rural Development Website to have an idea about the current Govt Schemes going on.

And also do not miss out on books like "Fortune at the bottom of the pyramid","Everybody loves a good Drought"," I have a dream".
