In the interview, they try to see if you are a good fit for the program. They try to see your thought process. Many times the answer you have given do

There are chances, if you are a non-engineer with a 99+ percentile. It is much more difficult, if you are an engineer as that would require a very high percentile in order to stand at par with other candidates.

The programme that you are talking about is open to executives who have 5 years experience after graduation. As you are still in final year, I am afraid that you are ineligible. I am attaching a link that will give all the required information.

Is studying at IIM Ahmedabad expensive?

Sanjana Srivastava

Yes, IIM Ahmedabad is certainly costly. IIM Ahmedabad total fees ranges between INR 64,000 and INR 33 lakh. The fees vary depending on the programme and specialisation selected by the students. The fee for certain programmes certainly falls in the higher end of the spectrum. Students need to pay INR 25 lakh as IIM Ahmedabad MBA fee. However, considering the fact that IIMA is one of the top-rate IIMs and limitless oppurtunities students can experience at the institute, it might be considered a worthwile investment. Further, the institute also offers financial aid to its students.
