Ques. How much should an OMS category student score in MAH-CET to ensure a call from JBIMS/SYDENHAM/KJ (MMS)?

● Top Answer By Sansthiti Adwika on 06 Mar 23

The required percentile to get into JBIMS varies every year and is dependent on the difficulty level of the entrance test. For OMS or all-India seats, the process is straightforward. You take the CET/MAT/ATMA/CMAT/CAT/XAT exams and apply with your score. Students who score high in CAT and XAT exams usually go to IIMs and XLRI, leaving students who applied with the remaining exams. To have a chance of getting into JBIMS, you need to score a percentile of at least 99.98 in any of the exams. For Sydenham and Somaiya, a score of 99.95+ percentile is ideal, and a score of 99.9+ percentile offers you a fighting chance of being accepted....Read more

Ques. I am preparing for the MBA CET and currently scoring about 95 to 97 in my mocks. How should I work further to get into JBIMS as JB is my only goal for an MBA?

● Top Answer By Babar Azam on 03 Mar 23

In order to crack the MBA CET exam, it is important to have a thorough understanding of the different types of questions that are asked in the exam. To gain this understanding, it is recommended that you write several CET mock tests. This is because the CET exam follows a standard pattern, and by writing these mock tests, you can familiarize yourself with the type of questions that are typically asked. It is common for 80% to 90% of the types of questions in the CET exam to be repeated from previous years. It is therefore recommended that you focus your efforts on these types of questions first. When writing the mock tests, you should assess your strengths and weaknesses. If you are targeting JBIMS, it is important that you do not have any weak areas. To achieve this, it is necessary to practice and become comfortable with any areas where you struggle. After writing the mock tests, it is important to analyze them thoroughly. One important metric to focus on is your "Marks per minute." In the CET exam, you should aim to score an average of 0.9 marks per minute. In some areas, you may score higher, while in others, you may score lower. However, you should strive to ensure that you do not score less than 0.7 marks per minute in any specific area. For areas where you score less than 0.7 marks per minute, focus on improving either your accuracy or speed, depending on the type of questions. It is also recommended that you regularly modify your strategy and determine which strategy works best for you. The CET exam does not have sectional time limits, so strategy plays a crucial role in improving your scores....Read more

Ques. Is there anyone who screwed up in the CAT and then took the CET and ended up in JBIMS?

● Top Answer By Mahak Mahajan on 03 Mar 23

You will find many students who have performed poorly in the Common Admission Test (CAT) but were successful in the CET and ended up in JBIMS.  One such example is a girl student who received a profile-based call from SP Jain, but to attend the interview, one had to score a minimum of 85 percentile or higher in either the CAT or XAT. Unfortunately, the student scored less than the 85 percentile in both exams. However, she took the CET seriously, put in a lot of practice, and became familiar with the types of questions. As a result, they managed to secure a top 10 rank in the CET and got admitted to JBIMS. It is important to note that a speed-based test like the CET is quite different from a logic-based exam like the CAT or XAT, and hence the preparation and attempt strategy must be different....Read more
