THE NEW TOEFL FORMAT
The next generation 2006 Test of English as a Foreign Language Internet-Based Testing (TOEFL–iBT) is on its way. Educational Testing Service (ETS) recently announced that the transition to the new test worldwide will take place in a phase manner over the rest of 2005 and the following year. According to the ETS schedule, the test would be first administered in the United States in September, 2005, followed by its implementation in Canada, France, Germany and Italy in October the same year, while its introduction in the rest of the world will begin in 2006. However, until the new Internet-based test is implemented, ETS will continue to administer the current computer-based (CBT) and paper-based (PBT) versions, as well as Test of Spoken English (TSE) (as a stand-alone test) throughout the transition period. At this point of time, information about the new test format and test preparation materials is scarce – the only available source, to my knowledge, being ETS (consult for more information) – but the expectations of language testing experts, English as a second/foreign language (ESL/EFL) teachers, and program administrators seem to be optimistic (personal communication). Many of them feel that the next generation TOEFL will offer innovative elements in its new format by putting its main emphasis on test-takers' integrated skills and their ability to communicate in an academic setting – an idea that is generally neither new nor innovative in the language testing field (see Davies, 2003, for a review). The reason behind the test revision is the realization that to succeed in an academic environment in which English is the language of instruction, students need not only to understand English, but also to communicate effectively. Thus, the new test format is intended not only to help institutions make better decisions about prospective students' readiness for academic coursework, but also to give test-takers the confidence of knowing they have the skills to meet the demands of their areas of study.

What is new in 2006 TOEFL–iBT format?

The new test, as its previous versions, is still organized around the four modalities (speaking, writing, listening, and reading) but in a way that allows for them to be tested both integratively and independently. That is, there are a number of tasks that assess each skill area independently as well as integratively by using combinations of prompts, such as reading a text and writing a summary, listening to a question and providing a spoken response, or reading an article, listening to a lecture, and comparing and contrasting information in an essay. Thus, when the information from the integrated tasks is combined with information from the independent tasks, the overall TOEFL will construct a fuller profile of the language abilities for each examinee.

Furthermore, as ETS explains (consult for more information), the new test format will offer a new approach to assessing the academic English language skills needed in higher education by including tasks that closely reflect the variety of academic discourse in colleges and universities. Therefore, the 2006 TOEFL–iBT exam is not just an updated version of the current CBT format but a test that includes several new components, i.e. new integrated Writing and Speaking tasks intended to measure test-takers’ ability to combine information from more than one source and communicate about it. There is no longer a Structure section, which only means that grammar will be tested on questions and tasks integrated into each section rather than as a separate component. The new TOEFL–iBT Reading and Listening sections do not seem to be dramatically different from the ones on the current CBT format, though the lectures and the conversations in the Listening section are longer and the speech may include a variety of English accents (e.g. British, Australian, American). The good news is that note-taking is allowed. In fact, note-taking is allowed throughout the entire test, which officially assigns an academically meaningful status to the note-taking skill, which it did not enjoy previously.

For reasons of brevity, the following paragraphs will only touch upon the new revisions of the test format – that is, the inclusion of a new Speaking section, the revision of the Writing component, and the permission to take notes throughout all sections of the test. I will first discuss the changes in each of the components mentioned above; then, I will elaborate on the theoretical background and research findings that have promoted the modifications; and, finally, I will outline the expected outcomes and the implications of the test revisions.

The Speaking section

A new and important component of TOEFL–iBT is a multitask speaking measure. As envisioned earlier (e.g. Butler, Eignor, Jones, McNamara & Suomi, 2000), three types of speaking tasks will be included in the speaking section of the new test: Independent speaking (IS) tasks and two types of integrated tasks, combining listening, reading, and speaking (LRS) as well as listening and speaking (LS). The inclusion of integrated tasks has been advanced based on findings that with such tasks test-takers are less likely to be disadvantaged by insufficient information upon which to build their argument (Read, 1990) and, at the same time, the validity of the tasks will be enhanced by simulating real-life communication tasks in academic contexts (Wesche, 1987; Lee, 2005). In the main, the independent tasks require the test-takers to use their personal experiences or general knowledge in their responses, whereas the integrated tasks require the examinees to understand academic texts first (delivered in different modalities) and then to construct spoken responses that demonstrate understanding of the material

GMATGraduate Management Aptitude Test

About the Exam

The GMAT is a Computer Adaptive Test administered online by Educational Testing Services (ETS) through Sylvan testing centers located in all the major cities in India. Those who wish to enroll for courses in Business Management in American universities have to take the GMAT test and submit their scores to the department.

Eligibility
All Indian citizens with a valid passport are eligible to take the GMAT. Test takers can take the test only once every calendar month. The test scores are valid for a period of 5 years.

Test Details

GMAT is administered at all Sylvan Prometric Centers across the world everyday for the first three weeks of every month. For a test appointment you have to contact Sylvan in that particular country and apply to ETS using a GMAT form available in the bulletin.

Exam Structure

The exam consists of 3 sections:

Quantitative Section: consisting of 37 Questions to be answered in 75 minutes.

Verbal Section: consisting of 37 Questions to be answered in 75 minutes.

Essay Response Sections on various topics: 2 sections of 30 minutes each.

For every wrong response ¼ of the mark is deducted.

Application Details

Application bulletin can be obtained by writing to Institute of Psychological and Educational Measurement, Allahabad or can be directly downloaded fromwww.gmat.org. The fees payable for GMAT varies from country to country and must be paid in US$. The actual rates can be verified from the Bulletin.

The GMAT general test includes three major areas of testing: Verbal Ability, Quantitative Ability (Mathematics), and Analytical Writing Ability.

GMAT Verbal Ability
The GMAT verbal section contains three types of questions: Sentence Correction, Reading Comprehension and Critical Reasoning. Your success in this section will depend on your ability to read and fully comprehend written material, reason and evaluate arguments and your familiarity with the stylistic conventions and grammatical rules of written English. Questions vary in difficulty from easy to real tough ones. Typically, the verbal section contains 41 multiple-choice questions. You are allowed a maximum of 75 minutes to complete this section.

GMAT Quantitative Ability (Mathematics)
The GMAT quantitative section is often referred to as the Mathematics section. It tests your basic understanding of arithmetic, algebra and geometry. Knowledge of more advanced mathematics is not required in this section of the GMAT. Most of the questions in the Quantitative Ability section are of high school level and are intended to just show how well you understand elementary mathematics. You are allowed a maximum of 75 minutes to complete this section. Typically, the GMAT quantitative section contains 37 multiple-choice questions from the following types :

The Data Sufficiency section : Questions in the Data sufficiency section consist of a Math problem followed by two statements, which might lead you to the answer of the problem. You need to choose which of the statements (if any) is sufficient to solve the problem. Along with your math knowledge, this section will require a sense of logic.

The Problem Solving section involves traditional computational skills, and includes arithmetic, algebra, and geometry concepts you have learned in school. You will need to know the necessary facts and formulae for this section.

You can expect 17 - 18 questions of each type in this section. Questions of both types appear in random order one after the other.

GMAT Analytical Writing Assessment
It tests writing ability through 2 writing assignments - Analysis of an Issue and Analysis of an argument. Watch this space for forthcoming material on preparing for these essays! You are allowed 30 minutes to complete each essay.

The following table should be useful for remembering the GMAT test structure:

Section Number of Questions Time (minutes)
Verbal 41 75
Quantitative 37 75
Analytical Writing 2 essays (30 minutes allotted for each one)

All multiple-choice questions in the GMAT have five options following a problem statement. Out of these, only one option is the correct answer.

GRE-INTERNATIONAL DETAILS-PAGE-2

2008-07-04T11:04:00.001-07:00

GRE DETAILS:-

What is an I-20?
I-20 is a document issued by the university to the students who have been granted admission. A Form I-20 is a government form that tells the U.S. government that you are eligible for F-1 Student Status.

It certifies that
(1) you are or expect to be a "bona fide" student;
(2) you meet our admissions requirements;
(3) you will pursue a full course of study;
(4) you proved to us that you have enough money to study and live in the U.S. without working illegally or suffering from poverty.

It is a strictly confidential document and in most cases it is issued only to the student directly i.e., it will not be handed over to any relative or friend of yours in the US. Only after receiving this I-20 you are eligible to appear for VISA in students category (F-1 Visa). You need a Form I-20 to obtain an F-1 student visa or status, or to keep lawful F-l status when transferring or changing schools within the U.S.

Does Everyone Need An I-20?
NO, some international students do not need I-20's. J-l students need a Form DS-2019 and should ask us for that application. F-2 dependents that want to study full time, must obtain an 1-20 and apply for a change of status to F-l student. If you are maintaining another nonimmigrant status in the U.S., you do not have to have an 1-20 and may attend school full- or part-time. Dependent children in E, H, I, J, L, M, N, 0, P, R, or S status need to change status after their 21st birthday or if they marry. If you have no legal status, you may attend school but you are not eligible to change status and do not need an 1-20.

Note : Students who visit US on exchange programs (usually for a very short period) to study shall get an IAP-66 instead of an I-20 and can appear for VISA under J-1 category.

[GRE] Types of financial Aid and Scholarships *A must read*
Sources from USA

University Funding/Scholarships
Tuition Waiver
Some Universities Tuition waiver after first semester (if performance in 1st sem. is good). This means that the student does not have to pay the tuition fees at the university. However, general fees (for the use of university facilities like the library, computers, and sports and health services) usually have to be borne by the student. It is also possible that some other department may offer scholarship.

Scholarship / Fellowship
This is usually an outright grant based on the student’s academic ability and performance. Hence, Only a truly outstanding student may be considered for this type of award, before enrolling at the university. A full scholarship would pay for a student’s entire living expenses at that university, whereas a partial scholarship would require additional funds from the student.

Assistantship
> Graduate assistantship (GA): You will work in the departmental laboratory, usually on software development, maintenance, and
support.
> Teaching assistantship (TA): You may conduct a recitation section of an undergraduate or graduate course and/or may otherwise assist a faculty member in teaching or grading. You may occasionally teach an undergraduate course yourself. You may also be required to take TSE (Test of Spoken English) to qualify for a
teaching assistantship.
> Research assistantship (RA): Typically, you will work with a faculty member or group on a (usually externally funded) research project.

Note:
>> Most students start out as TAs or GAs (unless approached prior to arrival by a faculty member who wants you as an RA). Later, when you choose a
major professor, that faculty member might have funding to support you as an RA. All assistantships require an average of 16-20 hours of work per week .
>> If you have never taught before, or if you are a foreign student not familiar with American undergraduate education, or even if you are an experienced teacher, you should find the following book useful.
Case, Bettye Anne (1989), Keys to Improved Instruction by Teaching Assistants and Part-Time Instructors: Responses to the Challenge, MAA Notes No. 11 (Washington, DC: Mathematical Association of America).

Loans from U.S. Banks
If you are an international student enrolled at the US college you can obtain US study abroad loan for Undergraduate Courses or International Study Abroad Loan for Graduate Courses, to finance your studies. All a student needs is to apply, fill a form, and arrange a cosigner . A cosigner or a guarantor is a must for student loan from abroad .Financing is available to cover tuition domestically but also tuition travel and expenses while studying in the US .

The scheme for the Graduate Loans in US does not require FAFSA, Financial aid qualification and the loan limit. It requires the co signer ,who can be the parent, Guardian ,Relative of the person who knows the person who wants the loan.

Aid from Other Sources
Financial Aid for International Students (http://www.finaid.org)
NAFSA Association of International Educators (http://www.nafsa.org)

On Campus job

System of Education in the USA
The first level of higher education in the United States is called "UNDERGRADUATE", and it leads to a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BS) degree.

Most undergraduate programs require four years of study, and usually a completed secondary school education is sufficient to enroll as an undergraduate student. First-, second-and third-year students of foreign institutions of higher education can transfer into U.S. undergraduate degree programs.

GRADUATE degrees include the Master of Arts (MA), Master of Science (MS) or Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD). Students who have already received their first higher education diploma, either a BA or BS in the United States or the equivalent, are eligible to apply to graduate programs. The MA and MS degrees are usually awarded after two years of study. The Ph.D. is the highest academic degree in the U.S. This degree follows an MA or MS and typically requires at least three years of study and a lengthy dissertation.

Courses - Admissions

The Master of Sciences and Master of Engineering programs in U.S universities are second to none in the range of specialties, quality and popularity.

Master of Science (MS) degrees are normally divided into research-oriented and non-research oriented programmes. If a student wishes to pursue full fledged research at the Ph.D level, he may choose the research-oriented option. Otherwise, if the student likes to stop his studies after Masters and look for employment or other avenues, he may take up the non-research oriented degrees. Almost all good universities offer both these orientations.

Master of Engineering (ME) degrees are for those who are professionally employed in respective fields. This degree will enable them to obtain additional qualifications at the Masters level in order to improve his/her knowledge or for employment/business growth. ME degrees are not as popular as the MS degrees, but are mostly terminal degrees. The completion of ME programme will not enable the candidate to register for further programmes.

Admissions into MS or ME programs are based on academic background, test scores, recommendations, financial capacity and the Statement of Purpose (SOP). Though good academic background at the Bachelor's is not a must, it is important to have consistent performance all through one's academics, right from 10thclass on. Additionally, good scores in TOEFL and GRE are required for admission into decent programs.

Documents to be submitted to the university/college you wish to apply to:-
• Completed Profile
• Your transcripts from 10th class onwards (duly attested by the respective Head of the Institution) 10th and Inter (12th) transcripts need not be in sealed envelopes. Whereas, your degree marks and provisional must be in sealed envelope, with seal and signature on the flap of the envelope too
• Statement of Purpose (SOP) - Ideally must be a one-page statement of your purpose in personal and academic life. SOP must contain information on your education objectives, career goals, reasons for study in the US and reasons for choosing a particular program in a particular institute
• Recommendation Letters - At least two-three recommendation letters from three lecturers/professors, who taught you at the degree level preferably from those who taught you the main subjects. These recommendations must be done on personal or college letterheads and must be signed and sealed (including the envelope)
• Bank Statement - Financial Statement or Bank Statement indicates the availability of funds with you, (or your sponsor) in a bank, in a Savings Bank account only. These funds must be available for the purpose of your further education. A statement given by the Bank manager, on the Bank's letterhead, clearly indicating the amount of funds available both in your native currency and also the currency of the country where you would like to study has to be given, with the seal of the bank and signature of the Manager. To each and every university you apply to, you need to enclose an original Bank Statement showing adequate funds to cover at least a year's tuition and living expenses. Instead of getting multiple originals, which may not be practically possible, you may get the first statement photocopied (before signatures are made by the banker) and then signed and sealed by the bank manager individually
• Some universities need the Financial Statement filled, in the application itself. If it is indicated as mandatory, you need to get that form appropriately filled by the Bank. Ideally, one should indicate availability of funds for the entire duration of the course. For example, for a two-year Masters program, funds must be adequate to cover for both the years. If you cannot show funds for two years, then you must indicate availability for at least one year, covering tuition, living expenses and other fees. Hence, before taking a statement, calculate what would be the maximum expenditure from among the universities you wish to apply to. Take the higher amount and arrange for Bank Statement, accordingly. This will eliminate the need to take fresh statement every time you apply to universities with higher fee structure
• Affidavit of Support on Rs.20 Non Judicial Stamp Paper
• An Original AOS (notarized) has to be sent to each university. Letter of Undertaking or Affidavit of Support (AOS) is an undertaking to be given by your sponsor who finances your education. This has to be given on Rs.20/- (if in India) Non-Judicial Stamp Paper, in a prescribed format
• Sometimes, the universities request the undertaking to be given on their applications itself, in which case you have to do so. This AOS has to be signed by the sponsor, properly witnessed and attested by Notary public. To each and every university you apply to, you need to enclose an original AOS. Instead of getting multiple stamp papers and doing the AOS, you may get the first statement photocopied (before signatures are made by the sponsor) and then signed by the sponsor and notarized individually
• Application fee in US $ (or that country's currency) as required by university
• Score Card - If you have already taken TOEFL and GRE/GMAT, IELTS you may just enclose the score card
• Covering letter - A covering letter, indicating your plans about TOEFL and GRE/GMAT and informing them that you would arrange score reporting by ETS- If not taken and reported already
Formats cannot be generalized for all the students and need to be personalized as per individual requirements.

Also, if there are any issues concerning your application, like backlogs, failures or gaps between various levels of your education etc., use the covering letter to provide an explanation about such issues? This will offset any problem that you may encounter when you do not explain.

Once all the documents are ready, you may courier them to the universities well before the suggested deadlines, since processing of applications is done on a rolling basis - i.e., first-come-first-serve. Applying early would certainly improve your admission chances than applying nearer the deadlines.

Selecting Right Universities
If you are planning to apply for a few universities, how should you approach the enormously difficult process of applying to only a few universities that are right and suitable for you? U.S.A has the largest number of universities in the world. There are more than 3900 universities and colleges that offer post-secondary education, right from Bachelors to the Post-doctoral level. How to pick the right one for you?

There are several factors which need to be considered carefully before choosing right universities to apply. Answers to the following questions may give you a certain idea about selecting the university that is right for you.
Is the university suitable for me or am I trying a mismatch?
Is the cost of study cheaper or costlier?
Is there provision for financial aid or not?
Does the university have the fields of specialization that I am interested in?
Does the university have suitable and reputed faculty?
Does the university have the right infrastructure?
Are there prospects of On-campus/Off-campus Part-time Jobs?

When a student faces with this tedious task, more often than most, a lot of mistakes are likely to happen - in choices, in selection and in the whole process!

Though each of the university's websites and posted catalogues look quite luring and present the true picture of the institution, it is very important to be CAREFUL. There are universities that have multiple campuses in hundreds of acres and there are universities as small as a two-room flat! The information on both may be presented equally 'glorifying', which may attract an enthusiastic but non-calculative student into the trap of joining and not being able to come out later!

Required Tests
As we all know, students have to write TOEFL/GRE in order to get admission into universities. Though there are no stipulated rules with regard to the minimum or maximum scores; for good admits, the average scores are 90-110 in TOEFL iBT and 1150-1250 in GRE. And much higher scores will get admission in better and higher-ranked universities. Some universities admit candidates with IELTS 6.5 band also. However, students with average academic background may happily note that some universities give admissions without any eligibility tests.
TOEFL GRE SAT IELTS GMAT

Cost of Education
Depending upon the program, university, location and the quality of education, costs vary. You can find universities offering programs at 6,000-8,000 $ per year and at the same time, some universities have a fee of around 30,000 $. Cost of education is quite reasonable.

Good news for US aspirants is that financial aid is comparatively easier to obtain. Aid could be in several forms - partial or full tuition waiver, in-state tuition, scholarship, assistantships etc. are awarded to international students based on merit - and not on need. Since most applicants cannot demonstrate comparable and measurable merit while applying, universities prefer to consider aid from the second semester or second year onwards, based on funding availability.

Almost 75% of Master's level international students get aid in some form or the other, mainly in tuition waivers, scholarships and tuition & research assistantships.

Language -English, Spanish

Climate - Mostly temperate, but tropical in Hawaii & Florida, arctic in Alaska, Semi-arid in the great planes west of the Mississippi river and arid in the Great Basin of the South West.

The United States also offers limitless opportunities for sports, recreation, and entertainment. Cities large and small offer numerous indoor and outdoor opportunities. Almost every city or town in the United States with college and university students will likely offer those students ways to kick back, run around, and have a good time.

Visa - USA

Perhaps, the most crucial aspect of your study in US is the process of obtaining a Visa. As you might know, getting the admission is just a beginning. The real test to US aspirants comes in the form of Visa. You need to present your case confidently and effectively for getting the most sought after Visa of the World. It is important to know thoroughly about the financial statement, latest updates on VISA requirements, mock interviews, etc. Below is a must do list.

TYPES OF VISAS

Student and Exchange Visitor Visas
Hundreds of thousands of people from around the world come to the United States each year to study and improve their skills. Diverse programs hosted by a wide variety of institutions provide learning opportunities as multifaceted as America itself.

There are three different types of student visa for different types of study:

Academic studies (F visa): This visa is for individuals who wish to study or conduct research at an accredited U.S. college or university. In order to apply for an F-1 visa, an applicant must have received a Form I-20 from a U.S. institution.

Exchange Visitor (J visa): Some academic activities may fall under the J visa Exchange Visitor category. Examples include exchange scholars, post-doctoral researchers, recipients of short-term academic research fellowships, and medical residents. In order to apply for a J-1 visa, an applicant must have received a Form DS-2019 from the sponsoring organization or institution.

Non-Academic or Vocational Studies (M Visa): The M visa is for students wishing to pursue non-academic or vocational studies. Typically, these programs are of short duration and do not lead to the award of a degree, but result in some form of professional or vocational certification. Applicants for this visa must have received a Form I-20 from the host institution to apply for an M-1 visa.

All non-immigrant Visa applicants are required to present required documentation to demonstrate their economic and social ties in their country of origin. It is the responsibility of the candidate to prove that they can pay for the stay and that they have social and economic ties to India that are strong enough to bring them back promptly. Candidates should obtain Student F-1 Visa. Useful details available at https://www.vfs-usa.co.in are listed below.

The requirements
1. Valid passport. You are recommended to have passport valid for at least six months beyond your interview date.
2. One photograph as per specification.?
3. Original signed form DS-156

4. Original FormDS-157 only if you are 15 to 55 years of age.?

5. Original form DS-158 only if you are applying for F,M or J visa.?

6. Valid Bank Visa fee receipt
7. Original documents regarding your job, business, school or college (I-20 letter)
Note: If the applicant is under 14 years of age, the forms DS-156 / DS-158 must be signed by one of the parents.
Visa Fees

There are two separate fees [detailed below], which must be paid by separate bank drafts. Cash, credit cards or personal cheques are not accepted.
1. Visa Application Fee (MRV Fee): $131 in Indian Rupee equivalent at consular rate of exchange. Rupee amount at current rate of exchange. This fee is payable in cash or by DD/HDFC Bank cheque favoring "US Embassy - Visa Fees". DDs issued by cooperative banks are not accepted.
2. This fee is payable in cash or by DD/HDFC Bank cheque favoring "HDFC Bank a/c VFS". DDs issued by cooperative banks are not accepted.

Financial resources:
An F-1 applicant must have evidence of sufficient and readily available funds to meet all expenses for the first year of study, and that barring unforeseen circumstances adequate funds will be available for each subsequent year of study.

Scholastic Preparation:
You must have completed a course of study required for enrollment at the level of study contemplated, and present transcripts of at least two years of academic work completed. External examinations like TOEFL, GRE, SAT and GMAT help to establish your seriousness as a student. In addition, you must demonstrate during the Visa interview that you have sufficient English language capability for your intended course of study in the USA.

Appointments:
Web Appointment is necessary. Visa applications are accepted from 8.00 AM to 11.30 AM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Decision about one's case can be known after an interview (if required) In almost all cases the Visa is ready on the same day between 4.00 PM and 4.55 PM at the main gate. The Consulate is closed on American and Indian holidays. One should apply for the Visa at least two weeks before one plans to travel.

Issuance and Travel Regulations for Recipients of Student Visas

Persons applying for initial-entry F-1, F-2, M-1, or M-2 visas may be issued these visas up to 120 days before the program start date as listed on their I-20s. However, students may not enter the United States more than 30 days in advance of the program start date indicated on the Form I-20. Applicants continuing on a student visa are not subject to this restriction.

These changes apply only to initial-entry students. Continuing students may apply for new F or M visas at any time, as long as they have maintained legal student status previously and their SEVIS records are current. Continuing students may also enter the United States at any time before their classes start.

J-1 and J-2 visas to exchange visitors may be processed at any time before the beginning of their programs. However, the visitor may not enter the United States earlier than 30 days prior to the program start date indicated on the Form DS-2019. Applicants continuing on an exchange visitors program are not subject to this restriction.

Money Matters

'Expenditure' is an area which most students would like to have detailed information first, before they plan their education abroad. In fact, awareness about the costs involved is 'very crucial' before one ventures into this expenditure-involved process.

Here are the details of Specific costs involved in Study Abroad Process

1. Application costs
»Your study abroad plans start with the application process. If you want to apply for 4-6 universities/colleges, you have to consider Application Fees, Courier Charges, Cost of Documentation and Miscellaneous Expenditure like Stationary etc.

» USA : The average application fee is between $25-95 per US University. Very few colleges facilitate applications without fee, but most have an application processing fee, which is mandatory for international students.

» Like US, most Canadian universities do charge an application fee, which is around the same costs as US universities.

» For UK, France and Switzerland, there is no application fee for post-graduate applicants.

» Some Australian and New Zealand universities charge an application fee, however there are some universities/colleges offering free application.

Altogether, the average cost of applying to 4-5 universities may come to Rs 25,000 for USA and Canada and around Rs 10,000 for UK, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland and France.

2. English Tests
Students have to write TOEFL/GRE/GMAT/SAT/IELTS as a prerequisite for admissions. Each student has to pay Coaching Fees and Examination Fees as prescribed by the respective Testing Agencies. The total expenditure for tests will be in the range of 8,000-15,000.

3. Scores reporting costs
Scores of TOEFL and GRE / GMAT / SAT are to be directly reported for the application process. Following are the present charges for score reporting (in addition to what ETS / College Board allows FREE, at the time of registration)

TOEFL - $17 GRE - $15
GMAT - $28 GMAT - $28 SAT - $ 9
IELTS - Local center will determine the cost of additional score reporting

Students can save $40-$90, if they can report the scores to the respective universities at the time of Exam itself.

4. Tuition and fees
Interestingly, Bachelor's degree is costlier than Master's degree because of the more number of credits involved at Grad level. Please note that all the costs indicated are approximate and vary upon the universities and programs. These costs will hike from one year to another. However, the average increase is around 5-10% per annum.

5. Cost of living expenditure
Cost of food alone will come approximately to $ 300 per month in US/Canada and other countries. If you include other incidental expenditure like rent, entertainment and other expenses, the average could be around $ 800-1000 per month, for a single student.

6. Insurance
Insurance is mandatory for all international students, who plan to study abroad. Depending upon the company and policy taken, the cost of insurance for a student could be around Rs 15,000 - 20,000 per year, in any of the countries being discussed.

7. Books and supplies
This could be anywhere between US $ 400-1200 per year, depending upon field of study and the courses chosen.

8. Other costs
Visa application fee, air fare and settlement expenses like deposit on room/flat, basic necessities etc. are also to be factored in, while calculating the expenditure involved for studying abroad.

Presently, the Visa application fee is around Rs 4,400 for USA, Rs 5,100 for UK

Air fare could be between Rs 15,000 to 45,000 depending upon the country, season and airline.

Here is a Chart of Educational Costs: (All amounts indicated are in US $)
USA (PUBLIC)
TUITION FEES LIVING EXPENSE
Under Graduation 8000-15000 US $ 7200-12000/Year
Post Graduation 1000-20000 US $ 7200-12000/Year

USA (PRIVATE)
TUITION FEES LIVING EXPENSE
Under Graduation 10000-20000 US $ 7200-12000/Year
Post Graduation 15000-25000 US $ 7200-12000/Year

To sum up, a minimum expenditure of Rs.1.00 Lakh for USA is ideal towards preliminary expenditure - including coaching costs for TOEFL, GRE etc. and an additional Rs 3-4 lakhs towards tuition and fees for one semester and living expenses for two-three initial months.

In case if bank loan or any other educational loans is available, you may not need to carry much money physically, since most payments would be taken care by the loan-granting institution. Some private education loans even pay for your living expenditure when you study abroad!

10 ways to improve your GRE score

I have absolutely no idea why I am writing this post!! It’s probably the hour long follow-up session that I just had with all the universities that I have applied to! To be honest, I have come to feel that the toughest part of the graduate admission process is surely this seemingly neverending wait!!! Anyhow these ten steps are for all undergrads gearing up for GRE preparations!! Hope you guys are able to use these tips (I never had so much information on my hands…..guess was just too lazy to search for it!!!)

1. Relax:
Preparing for the GRE can be stressful. Try to focus on the task at hand and not so much on everything else you have to do. If you take GRE test prep step-by-step, day-by-day, and give yourself breaks when your body needs them, you’ll be able to concentrate on GRE studies a lot better.

2. GRE Diagnostic Test:
Begin GRE test prep with a GRE practice test to find out what you’re good at, and more importantly, what you’re not good at. Correct your completed practice test and evaluate the questions you missed. What kind of questions did you miss? Are they mostly Quantitative or mostly Verbal? What score would you give yourself on Analytical Writing? Did you miss a lot of analogies but do well on reading comprehension? With this information you’ll be able to focus your GRE test prep studies on your weaknesses.

3. GRE Study Plan:
With your GRE weaknesses in mind, make a very specific study plan for yourself. You should know what, how, and when you are going to study for the GRE test. Put your study plan somewhere in plain view, and make sure you stick to your plan.
Try to keep GRE test prep interesting by planning to study different things in different ways. For example, study GRE vocabulary from flash cards one day, from a list the second day, and by reading and learning words in context the third day.

4. GRE Vocabulary:
The single-most effective way to improve GRE Verbal score is with GRE vocabulary. Start studying GRE vocabulary now. Study a word list, use flash cards, learn with software, or learn words in context with The Wall Street Journal. Do whatever it takes to learn new words. Improve your vocabulary skills and watch your GRE score improve.

5. Active Reading:
Practice reading every day, but don’t read like you would your favorite book. Read actively. Ask yourself, “What is the main theme?”, “Report or opinion?”, and “What is the author’s purpose?” You’ll see these questions on the GRE, so you should be on the lookout for the answers. You should also use GRE-level material, such as The Wall Street Journal, to practice your GRE reading comprehension. You might not like the articles, but most likely you won’t like the passages on the GRE either, so you should get used to it.

6. Math Language:
Learning GRE math is like learning a new language. To improve your GRE Quantitative score you have to practice, and the more you practice the more fluent you will become. If you don’t practice, you’ll never improve.
Hence, do as many practice Quantitative problems as you can and learn from your mistakes. When examining your wrong answers, don’t move on to the next question until you understand the current one. The whole point of math practice is so that you can learn from mistakes during practice and not on the real GRE.

7. Essay:
Get used to writing an outline before you actualy start an essay. You’ll save time and know exactly what to write about if you have an outlined plan. Your paper will flow better and surely, you will score higher on the GRE Analytical Writing section.

8. GRE Practice Tests:
A GRE practice test is one of your most useful tools during GRE test prep. It’s an excellent indicator of what you need to work on. Take GRE practice tests every couple of weeks to find out your weak areas, and focus your GRE study plan on those things. Also, remember to learn from your mistakes on each practice test.

9. Do Not Procrastinate:
Start preparing for the GRE now. If you start GRE prep early enough, you’ll have the luxury of being able to study just an hour or so per day. When your time is limited, you have to study more hours per day, which will get tiring fast. Cramming for the GRE doesn’t work, so don’t procrastinate. I repeat, if you want to improve your GRE score, do not procrastinate.

10. Mentally Prepare:
Time yourself during GRE practice tests to get a feel for the length of the test and the pace you need to be answering questions at. Act like the practice test is the real GRE. The last thing you want on test day is to feel tired when you’re only half-way through.

If you follow these 10 steps, your GRE score will improve. If you don’t follow these 10 steps, you still might score high on the GRE, but I wouldn’t risk it. Happy preparing.

Some useful resources for tackling GRE

Some useful resources for tackling GRE

Barron’s – I regret not having finished the word list from this book! Its exhaustive GRE master word list is the best and most comprehensive available out there. The aim should be to finish the word list as soon as possible and then make additional effort to keep the words in your memory (RAM…:-)…). The next step is to learn to tackle the analogies and antonyms which would automatically pore in with practice and skill building.

Kaplan GRE prep – An excellent resource for your quantitative skill building and for preliminary AWA preparation. Use this book to its maximum potential as its quantitative section is comparable to the real GRE questions that we are seeing nowadays! (A word of caution…..its AWA section is good but way beyond our faculties…well atleast for most of us …..so don’t get unduly worried by looking at their sample solutions).

ARCO answers to real essay question – The best guide for tackling AWA tasks. It is akin to being the bible for analytical writing. Do as many essays as possible before the real exam. No need to practice the essays on a computer! Just use a notebook and answer the points that seem relevant and compare your points with those given by the author.

GRE power prep CD – A very good indicator of your performance and a must do for anybody going for the test. Two tests should be given a few days before the actual test date (if not two then at least one of them) to gauge the preparation level and also to try and get into a positive frame of mind (It didn’t work out for me though).

GRE Big Book – The best practice material available in the market. Contains 25+ real GRE test papers (paper based) and a great way to improve upon your timing and capacity to tackle RC section. The only thing I completely finished and I must concede that this one single book helped me tremendously. You would see your score slowly going up and it would improve your confidence levels and prepare you for the timed examination!!!

NOVA GRE prep – never actually used this book but a very good friend of mine says it’s unrivalled when it comes to preparation for GRE. He vouches for its worth my friends and I have full faith in him… (BTW…This guy has a 1470 in GRE so I guess it would be prudent on our part to listen to what he has to say…and if anybody wants a personal counseling session with him, just contact me and I would happily give you his number). So here goes! “Excellent for practice because it is overflowing with exercises and in addition has lots of RC and quantitative preparatory sections”.

GRE bible – Well friends, I had heard a lot of great things about this software but I faced a couple of serious issues and therefore would not recommend anyone for using this simply due to the multitude of errors in spelling and meanings

Preparation Tips for CET by my classes sir!

Focus on your strengths. Dont waste too much time on Maths as there are only around 20 questions out of 200. But be comfortable with numbers for logic and DI questions. Focus more on reasoning and english questions as those carry the most weightage.

In CET there are a few vocab based questions. So it will help if one brushes up some word list

CET is comparatively east (as compared to CAT). So 3 months is more than sufficient if u give sufficient time in a day say 3 to 4hrs.

Just shring my experience with CET prep. ....
I had given CAT and was thorough with the preparation for the same. After which I stopped prep for any entrance. Our time CET was in May. I woke up regarding CET only somewhere in early April. Since I thought my fundamentals were clear .. did not think of brushing up my Maths concepts. I picled up some material for visuals, Logic and English and just went through with it. Since I did not have much time ... as I was also working .. I focussed on joining test series. I wrote around 15 Full length CET tests .. and in each test for the initial 10 test I used to try some new strategy in terms of attempting the paper. Once I finalised my strategy interms of how to go about attempt the paper .. the last 5 papers I tried to follow that strategy. I also decided on my backup strtategy in case if the original strategy does not work. This actually worked wonders in the actual exam.

I feel students preparing for CET should focus on writing CET papers and try to innovate with the same by trying new strategies. The difference in a good strategy and a bad one is around 10 to 20 marks .. which is what i realised. So see ur comfort level which will only be known once u write the papers in different ways.

With only few days to go for CET, I see a lot of people scrambling for more and more papers. The most common mistake that students do is solve a lot of papers without analysing the same. It is advisable to keep atleast a day's gap between two papers. One day should be used to throughly analyse the paper. Analysis should be done based on the time consumed in each area and the accuracy level. Identify the questions which you have a low accuracy. Check whether u can improve accuracy on the same. If u cannot improve accuracy on the questions, then there is no point wasting too much time on it. Focus on how u can reduce the time spent on the questions with low accuracy, so that you can spend more time on the others. Ensure that all the questions which usually takes a lot of time and you have low accuracy, keep it for the end or keep it for blind guessing in the end.

A common mistake that I have noticed in the students of my class i that they start from question 1 and try to solve all questions in a line. By the time 2 hrs 15min is up, they reach around 100 to 110 questions and then try guessing. In the process they do not attempt all the easy questions which could be in the end. A good strtategy would be to solve those questions which you are comfortable with (ensure that u do not get stuck in any 1 particular question and waste time as all questions carry equal marks) or which do not take time and leave all which would take a lot of time. Your selection of the question should be such that you should reach the 200th question by 2hrs or 2hrs 15min at the max. The rest of the time you could solve other questions and in the end 5 to 10mins start guessing blindly. This ensures that you have not missed out on easy questions.
After giving this feedback, my students have come back to me with improved scores.

The target score would depend on how much u r scoring. So if your target is 120, you need to get an average of 120/150 = 0.8 marks per minute. That means around 4 marks in every 5 minutes.Identify those questions where u can score at this pace or something around this. The questions u cannot score at this pace, you need to either improve the speed or keep it in the end for wild guessing. This is one way of analysing the paper.

How to BELL THE CAT - A Consultant's Approach!

With about a month or so to go, the question that junta is asking at this point is not "Do I have it in me to crack CAT?" as much as "Do I have it in me to crack me in crack CAT in a month?"

Now let us presume that you present your problem to a management consultant like say McKinsey, what would they come up with? Remember they would give you only strategic advice, no actual implementation level micromanagement. Here are a few pointers that could actually turn up in their analysis report:

(1) Don't boil the ocean

Simply put, don't try to do something unimaginably huge (boil the ocean) to bring results that are not proportionate (get salt). This ways you will just cause more anguish when you realize half way through that the latent point of boiling for the ocean is pretty huge. Another way to put it is: Work smart, not hard.

Try to come up with a list of possible tasks for CAT and try figuring out what the amount of effort required to do it is. At the end of it, you can either lessen the effort or cross it out completely. Here is an example. A lot of you may be wondering if it is really wise to "do" the word-list. Go through a realistic run of where you are. This is a good time to go through the kind of words given over the last 4 years (over which CAT has kind of streamlined the questions) and figure if you really need to go through those huge word-lists. Amazingly at the end of the exercise, you might want to do away with it all together, or go through a selective portion just to ramp up your rusted skills. (For example, you might decide to do only the "High Frequency" words from Barron's GRE.)

(2) Pluck the low-hanging fruits first
An important point that many students don't realize at this juncture, due to immense pressure, is that it makes more sense for one to consolidate what he/she knows, rather than make an immature attempt to try learning everything. Do not attempt anything that is difficult. I have seen many students coming to me at the nth moment asking if they should be attempting "Permutation Combination". My simple answer is - If you have not done it in your schooling, if you have not done it in college, if you have not done it through out your CAT prep so far, then the chances that on November 21st the neurons in your brain actually go into a synaptical surge and the answer will plop in front of you are .........well, to be frank - quite bleak! Rather I would strengthen topics I know well - percentages, profit-loss, mensuration etc.

On the flip side, is it wise to be completely ignorant about these topics? The answer is a resounding NO!!!! I strongly suggest you take out some time (a few hours perhaps from an otherwise eventful study schedule) for each of these dreaded topics and figure out which are the formulae and basic types of problem. The test-setters of the more diabolic variety are known to sneak in a few deceptively. Most test-takers are blissfully unaware of this till the coaching institutes print a bold "SITTER" next to that question a day after the CAT and the cutoff seems all the more further away. Better safe than sorry!

(3) Think out of the box

Edward De Bono once famously remarked "An expert is someone who has succeeded in making decisions and judgments simpler through knowing what to pay attention to and what to ignore."

Try to ensure that whatever you do from now on is not something that is mechanical or by rote, but something that involves you actively in the process. So take up each problem and try figuring out stuff like - can it work with some variation? How can anyone twist this problem? Is there a simpler way of doing this? How I can design a problem for someone along these lines? etc. etc. In short - try to "internalize" the problem you are solving.

A classic example is the mock CATs you have taken so far. Even for those questions which have helped you inch towards the elusive cut-offs - try to figure which were ill-considered attempts. I have seen many instances in the past when my reason for choosing a correct answer was preposterous to say the least (I have, in good humor and on occasions, picked up answers because, from among others, it "sounded" correct!) and yet managed to get them right. Try to sit and figure if the same problem has a better way of doing it.

(4) Peel the onion

Layer by layer......one thing at a time

Let us presume you have a problem with reading large data in DI. In short, number crunching is not exactly one of your virtues, (normally these are areas you would not touch with a ten-foot pole!), yet is a necessary evil which cannot be avoided (like say P&C). We need to figure out how best to deal with this.

Take a couple of the mocks you have taken and try figuring out how you have done in it. See what is it that actually stopped you from getting in the top percentile. "I suck at numbers" is an answer which will neither aid your morale nor help you analyze yourself better. Be more objective and tough. Speed? Bad at approximation? The questions were too ambiguous? Whatever the reasons - try making a list of those things. Now instead of racking your brain alone over what can be done for that, speak to someone at your institute. Better still, catch a friend/mentor who has "been there and done that" for his/her insights on what can be done to help bridge this gap. Remember that you may also use the "boiling the ocean" principle here and remove any ideas of indulging in frivolous activities like learning Vedic mathematics at this point.

(5) Pareto's principle

The 80/20 rule. Some of the variations are :
20% of the time goes in doing 80% of the tasks, 20% of the business brings 80% of the revenue,20% of the world controls 80% of the money etc. The point here is: Try to figure which is the 80% that is bringing you the marks and focus on that. I read somewhere what one of the CAT 2003 100%iler had written - he had wanted to maximize on Verbal and tried to get cutoff in quant. And sure he maximized in Verbal with a score of 45 (and just around 17.5 in QA)!! There is no use spending all 1hour in quant and getting 2 marks more than the cutoff and spending 20mins in verbal and get barely get the cutoff.

(6) Parkinson's Law

The law states - "Work expands to fill the time available to do it" I think the scourge of every self-respecting graduate is doing a "night-out" to write that college journal a day before the submission. And we carry this habit with us to the work place too. Just look around you it keeps happening all the time - software project, advertising campaigns, government decisions - you name it! So is it with CAT.

Set yourself challenging schedules and stick to it. Tell yourself you are going to analyze those dreaded mock cats which have been piling on a corner for the last few months. Sounds impossible right? But as the Nike ad says "Just do it!" Even if you are not able to complete it, so be it, at the least you started and finished in a go. Keep challenging yourself; try sneaking out every last minute you have to get something done. Do those distasteful tables when you are having your smoke after lunch. Do those obnoxious RC practices when you are reading the morning newspaper.
And remember you cannot really challenge yourself unless you have a hard target to achieve.

(7) The fish cannot bat and I cannot swim

Words from Boycott could not be truer in the CAT perspective. Realize what your areas of strength and areas of weaknesses are. But still at the end of the day there will be the odd ball "stud" who licks the field clean. So in your approach you would be wise if you remember to steer clear of any ego-issues. Don't try tackling that extra toughie DI problem set which goes into 3rd decimals of approximation or the arcane RC passage on Madhubani paintings just because you are out there trying to prove you too are one. The point in case is that if you were one, you would not have been struggling.

Last year there was this guy in IIT Chennai. He was a math and physics Olympiad with an IIT-JEE AIR of 12. He ended up with a 100%ile (and a score of 103 in CAT 2003!). He went on to join IIM-B. Realize that there are always going to be guys like this. Instead of worrying about them, realize that at the most there are going to be around 100 odd guys like this. Forget about them. Think about the 1100 others who are vying for the same seat as you. And if you are really bothered about such guys, then stock your fridge with some cold beer!

(IPB Image Fail to plan then you plan to fail

Put in excruciating detail into the planning/scoping work before you start out. Make sure every waking hour is accounted for. Doesn't mean you have to go overboard and start planning to account for each minute. Rather, a detailed account of how you are going to spend time over the next month. A caveat to the fore-mentioned point. At times we do things just because it was in the original plan. Make sure your plan is flexible. If a week before CAT you figure that doing more practice in RC is going to pay off, so be it!! But make sure you constantly check your plan and ask "Is it the right thing to do?" rather than "Am I doing it correctly?"

(9) Life is what happens when you are busy making plans - John Lennon (1940-1980)

Some words of wisdom that I keep telling myself everyday, CAT or no CAT. "The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. "

At the end of the day it is a just an exam. Nothing more. Nothing less. No reason why you should treat it differently. No reason why you should worry more. No reason why you should not think about other things in life. No reason why you should not keep your cool. If you were expecting a list of dos and don'ts I am afraid I might have disappointed you. But this is not meant to serve as one in the first place - the institutes are already doing a pretty good job of that. What I have done is tried summarizing a few points (which I believe are neither mutually exclusive nor collectively exhaustive) to give you a checklist against which you can verify the usefulness of everything that you would be doing from now on.

CAT: An Insight

The Common Admission Test or CAT as it is popularly known, is a multiple choice written exam designed to test a candidate’s ability & aptitude, under a time constraint. Held by the IIMs, CAT has now become the entrance examination for several other leading institutes.

Held on the second Sunday of December, CAT has test venues spread across the country thus ensuring participation from the country’s best.

A Brief Overview

Knowledge, as it should be is the prerequisite for this examination but its unique feature remains its unpredictability.

Although the examination details have outlined the course covered as spread over 4 distinctive sections of Quantitative Aptitude (QA), Data Interpretation (DI), Reading Comprehension (RC) & Verbal Ability (VA) the actual paper need not have any preset pattern or division of sections.

The other features, which require mention, are Negative Marking & Adequate Competence across all sections. Though the actual extent of negative marking remains undisclosed, it is an integral part of evaluation. Adequate Competence across all sections requires of a student to perform in all sections to a certain minimum level & once again though under the purview of the evaluation committee, section cutoffs must be catered to during preparation.

Individual Sectional Insight

Quantitative Ability (QA)

The questions are designed to stress more on reasoning skills of the candidates, rather than on their computational skills.
The level of difficulty of this section is perceived to be higher because the questions are not only lengthy to read but at times require more effort in terms of understanding and solving.
Data Interpretation (DI)

As the name suggests, this section presents data to the candidate in forms such as caselets, pie diagrams, bar graphs, etc and questions are set to evaluate the candidate’s skills at analyzing the given information.
Data Sufficiency questions in this section are based on basic mathematics (at times Data Sufficiency is a part of the Quantitative Ability section).
Reading Comprehension (RC)

CAT usually has 6-8 passages in the RC section, with an overall length of 4500-5500 words and about 50 questions to answer in a span of about 30 minutes. However this too can vary according to the level of difficulty of questions.
Verbal Ability (VA)

This section explores your understanding of the English Language and also tests you on Reasoning Skills.
The questions in this section typically comprise sentence correction, sentence sequencing , verbal reasoning etc.

IIMs: New eligibility criteria for CAT

New Delhi, July 16:

In a move aimed at arresting the number of candidates appearing for entrance tests for elite business schools, the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) today announced they should have secured at least 50 per cent marks during graduation to be eligible for the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2006.

The new eligibility criteria for this year's CAT, to be held on November 19, were announced by the IIMs today.

The announcement stipulates that candidates must hold a Bachelor's Degree with at least 50 per cent marks to be eligible this year as against only "successful completion" of their graduation hitherto.

It has been fixed at 45 per cent marks this year for students belonging to SC, ST or persons with disability category, it said.

The duration of the examination is also set to increase by 30 minutes to two-and-a-half hours.

Making a special reference to government's proposed move to reserve seats for OBC candidates during academic year 2007-08 in elite educational institutions, IIMs said "the details of the reservation for candidates belonging to OBCs would be notified by the IIMs on their websites and through a an advertisement in national newspapers on receipt of an official communication from the appropriate authority".

Observing that no student should be denied opportunity to pursue the management course for want of adequate financial resources, the IIMs said substantial need-based scholarships were available for students belonging to economically disadvantaged families.

Last year, over 1.5 lakh students appeared in the CAT for admission to six IIMs at Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Kolkata, Indore, Kozhikode and Lucknow. (Agencies)

MBA Level programme's at IIMA

Post Graduate Programme in Management

The Post-Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) is among the oldest, largest and most prestigious of the Institute's teaching programmes. Ranked the best programme in the continent, and among the best in the Asia-Pacific Region, the programme emphasizes innovative problem solving, shared perspectives, applied management philosophy, and group work.

Post Graduate Programme in Agri-Business Management

The Post Graduate Programme in Agri-Business Management (PGP-ABM), equivalent to MBA, is a unique programme specially designed to enhance the quality of management in the food and agribusiness sector, and help this sector meet the challenges of the evolving market place. Agriculture accounts for about 25 per cent of India's gross domestic product (GDP) and for over 60 per cent of employment. The growth of this sector, therefore, is crucial to the development of Indian economy.

PGPX: One Year Post Graduate Programme in Management for Executives

The one year Post Graduate Programme in Management for Executives (PGPX) is aimed at experienced executives who wish to acquire formal training in management. It has a general management focus, with an emphasis on managing across borders and cultures. It has an international immersion component besides teaching content drawn from many countries. The goal is to prepare participants to be ready to take leadership positions in the firms that they join.

Admissions

Every year, IIMA selects about 250 students from among the over 100,000 candidates who apply to the PGP. The admission process consists of the nationally administered Common Admission Test (CAT), and subsequent rounds of personal interviews and group discussions. The students are selected on the basis of their CAT scores, past academic performance and performance in the interviews and group discussion. Selected students have scholastic achievements in disciplines such as arts, commerce, science and professional streams such as engineering, technology and medicine. Many of them also have achievements in extra-curricular and organisational activities. Some of the qualities that characterise past students are high levels of initiative and energy, capacity for hard work, strong task orientation, willingness to learn, and a temperament suitable for teamwork. The PGP classes have had a mix of fresh graduates and persons with work experience.

Selection Procedure

The selection for the post-graduate programme is done through a two-stage process. In the first stage, candidates to be called for group discussion and personal interview are short-listed from among those who have applied to IIMA’s post-graduate programme. While short-listing the candidates for group discussion and personal interview, candidates belonging to categories for which seats are reserved, are treated differently. The criteria used for short-listing would be disclosed on the IIMA web-site. along with the list of short-listed candidates . Please note that the cut off for short listing SC/ST/PWD candidates for group discussion and personal interview would not be less than 17% score in each of the three sections of CAT and no less than 25% score in aggregate. For other categories, it would be no less than 25% in each of the three sections and no less than 33% in aggregate. The actual cut-offs used for short-listing, however, may be higher than the above mentioned percentage scores and would depend upon the performance of candidates in CAT.

In the second stage, candidates to be admitted to the post-graduate programmes are selected from among those who have attended the group discussion and personal interviews. In preparing this admission list, inputs such as performance in group discussion and personal interview, the CAT score, academic background and achievements, extra-curricular activities, and post-degree work experience, are taken into consideration.

Eligibility Criteria

Domestic candidates

The minimum eligibility criterion for admission to PGP is: the candidate must hold a Bachelor’s Degree, with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA [45% in case of the candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC)/ Scheduled Tribe (ST) or Persons with Disability (PWD) category], of any of the Universities incorporated by an act of the central or state legislature in India or other educational institutions established by an act of Parliament or declared to be deemed as a University under section 3 of UGC Act, 1956, or possess an equivalent qualification recognized by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India. The Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent qualification obtained by the candidate must entail a minimum of three years of education after completing higher secondary schooling (10+2) or equivalent. The basis of computing the percentage obtained by the candidate in the bachelor’s degree would be based on the practice followed by the university/ institution from where the candidate has obtained the degree. In case of the candidates being awarded grades/CGPA instead of marks, the equivalence would be based on the equivalence certified by the university/ institution from where they have obtained bachelor's degree. In case the university/ institution does not have any scheme for converting CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by the IIMs by dividing obtained CGPA with the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the resultant with 100.

Candidates appearing for the final bachelor's degree / equivalent qualification examination can also apply. Such candidates must produce a certificate from the Principal/Head of the Department/Registrar/Director of the university/ institution certifying that the candidate has obtained 50% marks or equivalent (45% in case of candidates belonging to SC/ST/PWD category) based on latest available grades/marks. Such candidates, if selected, will be allowed to join the programme provisionally only if they submit a certificate latest by a specified date published on IIMA website from the Principal/Registrar of their college/institute (issued on or before the date published on IIMA website) stating that they have completed all the requirements (the results may, however, be awaited) for obtaining the bachelor's degree/ equivalent qualification on the date of issue of the certificate. Their admission will be confirmed only when they submit the mark sheet and a certificate of having passed the bachelor's degree / equivalent qualification referred to in the certificate issued by the Principal/Registrar with at least 50% marks (45% in case of candidates belonging to SC/ST/PWD category). The deadline for submission of the mark sheet and the certificate is published on the IIMA website. Non-fulfillment of this condition will automatically result in the cancellation of the provisional admission. IIMs would not allow any candidate to join their programme in case the candidate is unable to complete all the requirements for a bachelor degree on or before the date published on the IIMA website. The IIMs would also not offer admission to any candidate after the date published on IIMA website.

Reservations

As per Government of India requirement 15% and 7½% seats are reserved for SC and ST candidates, respectively. In addition, the Government of India has proposed to reserve seats for candidates belonging to Other Backward Classes (OBC) starting from academic year 2007-08. The details of the reservation for candidates belonging to Other Backward Classes (OBC) would be notified by the IIMs on their web-sites and through an advertisement in national newspapers once the proposed legislation for this purpose is passed by the Parliament and is officially communicated/ notified. Candidates belonging to OBC category are advised to enclose a photocopy of the certificate that they belong to OBC category at the time of submission of CAT application form. They also need to mark carefully the category to which they belong while filling up the application form.

3% seats are reserved for Persons with Disability (PWD). The three categories of disability are: a) low-vision/blindness, b) hearing impairment, and c) locomotor disability/cerebral palsy.

The candidates belonging to categories for which seats are reserved need to note and read carefully the eligibility requirements before applying. It should be noted that while it is endeavour of IIMs that the candidates belonging to OBC/SC/ST/PWD categories join the program in proportions mandated by the law, they have to meet the eligibility criteria and a certain minimum level of performance in CAT. The candidates should read carefully the description of admission process in the CAT bulletin.

Fees and Expenses

Annual expenses on tuition, library, computer, room, board, teaching material, and other fees (excluding personal expenses on travel, clothes and laundry) are about Rs. 2,00,000 at present for domestic candidates.

Financial Aid

It is the endeavour of the Institute that no student be denied opportunity to pursue the post-graduate programmes in Management at IIMA for want of adequate financial resources. Keeping this objective in view, IIMA has instituted a need-based scholarship scheme from its own resources to help its economically weak PGP/ PGP-ABM students. Under this scheme, every year many students are provided with scholarships. The scholarship amounts are fixed on the basis of the annual gross family income, parental asset ownership, number of dependants etc. Applications for these scholarships will be made available in July.

The Government of India Merit-cum-Means scholarships of Rs. 2,200 a year are available to a maximum of 25 per cent of the students, provided that these students meet the merit and means criteria. Several industry-sponsored merit scholarships are awarded at the end of each academic year. In addition, a few industry-sponsored need-based scholarships for two years are available to needy students. Many commercial banks and financial institutions provide educational loans to students. For details, candidates may contact branch offices of such banks.
