Tipani
There are many MBA aspirants who dream about IIM A and tend to overthink about past academics. Remember, the CAT score can be changed and also profile can be worked on to maximize the chances of getting a call.
Faculty of Management Studies(FMS), Delhi, IIM Bangalore and IIM Calcutta are the only closest competitors to IIM A. FMS gets an advantage of batch size and still, it maintains average compensation at par with IIM A.
In terms of ROI, all the IIMs get defeated in front of FMS and TISS.
