Can I use last year registration details for NMAT exam?

Yes you can use the same credentials.

However, If you don't want to use the older details; you need a New E - mail ID and a new phone number for fresh registrations!

Is it possible that we fill only the 1st form of SNAP and, later on after our CAT and NMAT, we can fill the college preference form and also make the payment at that time only?

Some of the colleges have their last day to apply till a few days after the exam, but most colleges closes their application form before the results are announced. So if you are planning to appear for SNAP keep a tab on the closing days of application of the various colleges under SIU.

Do all B schools get a 100% placement?

No. None of the B schools get a 100% placement. Those who don't get a placement are made to sign off the placement saying that they don't want placements. All just a marketing gimmick just to show that they have a 100% placement record

So take any placement report with a word of caution

With this in mind, is it worth taking the loan and doing an MBA?

What most people fail to understand is that a degree from an IIM, especially one of the older IIMs, goes beyond the 2 years.

Yes, situation might be tough right now. But, honestly, when is it not?

As someone who wen through Dot com bubble burst of 2001, Subprime crisis of 2009 and Covid and many more; things will always be as such.

What this degree does to you is to provide a confidence to think beyond limited options. It helps you. This degree changes you.

And that's the key takeaway of an MBA. Not the placements. But the confidence to be able to shape your future.

Do we need to apply separately for symbiosis?

Yes, after registering for the SNAP Exam 2023 , it is essential to apply separately for each Symbiosis Institute/program you wish to pursue. This is because each institute offers distinct courses and specializations, and they have varying admission criteria and cut-off scores.

If someone has a supplementary in college exams due to not being able to give an exam and will not need to give the exam again; Does that impact the chances of getting a call from an IIM?

Having a supplementary does not effect the chances of you getting a call. But, you do need to ensure that you clear the exam by the time you have to join them in July next year.

If you still have a back at that time, then your admission will be cancelled.
Which attempt of MICAT should I write? What's the difference between the two attempts?

MICAT requires you to have a valid CAT/ XAT/ GMAT score. The first attempt is for the ones who already have such score from the last cycle. If you don't already have that score, you cannot write MICAT 1 and can only attempt MICAT 2.

However, if you write both MICAT 1 and MICAT 2 exam, the higher of your two scores will be taken into account for the final decision. So even if you fail to pass MICAT 1, you can still be eligible to appear for MICAT 2 exam.

Should I opt for NMAT at centre or at home?

I would always suggest taking NMAT at Centre. The problem with test taking at home is that it is never quiet nor completely alone at home. Any disturbance would be chance for test convenor to cancel the test and you would have to start the process from scratch.

Taking test at centre is cumbersome but would help you avoid all the hassle!

How many colleges should I fill for SNAP? What all colleges should I fill?

Since you need to pay Rs. 1000 for each college that you apply to, and there are many niche colleges, it will become expensive real fast.

My suggestion - Pick at max 5 colleges in the following order:

1. SIBM Pune
2. SCMHRD Pune
3. SIIB Pune
4. SIOM Nashik
5. SIMS, Pune

This is a tricky time. Motivation running low, anxiety running high, scores running low but distractions running high!

Invest 1 minute and watch at very slow speed.

As a fellow traveller, who was in your shoes not so long ago - Well that's a lie, it was real long ago - I know what you are going through!

You may feel that this is a make or break time, and you are right to an extent, but not in the terms that you think. Yes, it is the final three weeks before the CAT exam. Yes, this period can make a substantial difference in your performance.

But NO, this exam and these three weeks don't decide you worth. YOU DO!

Instead of ruminating on the past, focus on approached to optimally utilize this crucial time.

1. Ensure you allocate time for revision, practice tests, and identifying weak areas to strengthen them. A lot of material has been uploaded at https://t.me/+gYOj7lE3qcgzODQ1

2. Refine your RC and Vocab. Practice on a wide variety of material. Read newspaper from https://t.me/QuantSenseiGDPI

3. Practice calculations, and solve a variety of problems to enhance your speed and accuracy

4. Prioritize weak areas but don’t neglect stronger sections. Solve all PYQs shared at https://t.me/c/1972968225/68

5. Keep on revising the formulae for Quant. A help book is uploaded at https://t.me/QuantSenseiMain/173

6. Prioritise mental health. Read the post uploaded at https://t.me/QuantSenseiMain/176

I will graduate in 2024. I am planning to write all the MBA entrance exams for this year. Should I sit in the Final Placements or not?

I always suggest everyone to take a placement if they are getting from the college. And apply for a higher studies simultaneously

The decision to join would be in April - May 2024. At that time you can decided whether you want to join or not. But it doesn't harm knowing you have options to choose from!
