Only 5 days away, the entrance examination to Indian Institute of Foreign trade (IIFT) is another very important milestone paving the way to MBA (IB) 2016-18 at IIFT Delhi or Kolkata campus. Getting into Indian Institute of Foreign Trade is probably more difficult than getting into any of more than 150 B- schools accepting CAT 2015 scores and offering numerous management programmes. This is the reason while there are around 2.18 lakh CAT 2015 takers for a few thousand seats, the test takers to IIFT for 360 seats are near about 60000.

CAT 2015 VARC section with 34 questions proposes to place 4 Non-MCQs on jumbled paragraphs on November 29, 2015 as revealed by the practice test made available by IIM Ahmedabad in public domain. It is worthwhile mentioning that all the Non-MCQ type questions will not attract penalty of negative marking even if you insert a wrong answer in the given space on the computer screen.

Sharing with MBAUniverse.com, IMT Ghaziabad has informed that the Admission application process for PGDM/MBA 2016 across IMT campuses (Ghaziabad, Nagpur, Hyderabad and Dubai) will close on November 26, 2015 at 12:00 mid Night.

IMT started registrations for admission to these programmes on Sep 1, 2015. There is Common Application form devised by IMT to apply to all the campuses. The Application form is available online on IMT website.

IMT Admission 2016 Eligibility Criteria

With only a week left to appear in IIFT 2015 going to be held on November 22, 2015, the experts and toppers alike are of the view that the last 7 days of preparation for IIFT 2015 entrance exam will no longer need any coaching or prep centre.

Before finalizing your registration for CMAT 2016, you need to know the B-schools that would offer you admission after declaration of result. AICTE will conduct CMAT 2016 on January 17, 2016 and will declare the result on January 21, 2016 claiming All AICTE approved Institutes / Departments / Constituent Colleges / Affiliated Colleges of Universities are expected to accept CMAT scores. The specific notifications issued by Universities and State Governments are available at CMAT website; www.aicte-cmat.in.

Only a high score in CAT 2015 may not be taken as granted to cover all the essentials for admission in IIMs in 2016. Almost all the IIMs have changed their admission policy for PGP 2016-18 batch and will look beyond your high overall percentile in CAT 2015 before offering you admission.

With a renewed energy and commitment not to repeat the mistakes that I made in last year CAT exam, I would be appearing in CAT 2015 to finalize my chances of getting into one of the top 3 IIMs in 2016.

I prepared hard for CAT, consistently scored high percentile of 99+ in all the top rated Mocks before the D-day, practiced the sample test on CAT website number of times but made silly mistakes in the testing room and despite scoring a high overall percentile was not shortlisted by any of the top rated IIMs.

Announcing many changes in CMAT 2016 that came as surprise for the aspirants in otherwise earlier stereo typed registration process and the exam pattern, AICTE has added another feature awarding a grace period of 3 days, if making cash payment, to finalize the CMAT 2016 registration by December 13 instead of the December 10, 2015 fixed as the last date for registration with online payment.

Have been preparing for past one year for CAT and now with an entirely proposed changed content and structure of CAT 2015, am getting perplexed how to cope. These are the comments from many of the CAT 2015 aspirants who wish to get into one of the top rated IIMs in 2016.
