Since you have an SC certificate, you can opt for SITM. Further, you will have to work hard on your interview and GD. It's tough to get selected but no harm in trying.

Dear Sumit, I'm not sure if you could get a call from a good Symbiosis college with this score. I'd rather suggest you to go for another chance next year and get some Workex in the meantime. This would further enhance your profile. All the best!

Hi Sumit,
For SIBM-Bengaluru, the cut-off percentile for applicants of SC category last year was 32.60 percentile. Hence, even with an increase this year, you might have a fairly good chance. Also, your work experience is not considered for the interview shortlist. For the final admission, you may want to develop a complete explanation for the same. The shortlist will be announced on January 9, 2018. I hope this answers your query. For any further information, please enquire or visit www.sibmbengaluru.edu.in. All the best!

Hi Sumit,
Since you are from SC category, the SNAP cutoffs will be lower than that of the regular category. However, it is difficult to predict which college will call you for the GE-PI-WAT process. For last year's cutoffs, you can visit the respective college website for details based on the college you have applied for.

Hi...

It is generally not difficult for a chemistry graduate to cope with an MBA syllabus. In fact, the strong analytical and problem-solving skills developed during a science degree often provide a significant advantage in business school.

Hi...

Advantages for Chemistry Graduates

Strong Analytical and Quantitative Skills: Science graduates typically have a solid foundation in mathematics, statistics, and data analysis. These skills are directly transferable and highly valuable for core MBA subjects like finance, operations research, and business analytics, making these areas less intimidating than for some other non-science peers.
Systematic Problem-Solving: The scientific method of analyzing problems, gathering data, forming hypotheses, and testing solutions closely mirrors the case study method widely used in MBA programs. This familiar approach allows chemistry graduates to adapt quickly to the academic demands.
Time Management and Resilience: Rigorous science programs and lab work demand excellent time management, organization, and a high tolerance for academic pressure. These skills are essential for managing the intensive workload, group projects, and tight deadlines of an MBA program.
Technical Fluency: Science backgrounds often provide familiarity with various data tools and technical applications, which can accelerate their work in data-driven business projects.

Potential Challenges

Adjustment to New Terminology: The primary initial hurdle may be getting used to new business concepts and terminology in subjects like marketing, human resources, or strategic management. However, the logical reasoning skills from a science background help in grasping these frameworks with relative ease.
Shift from Technical to Managerial Focus: The transition from purely technical or research-oriented thinking to a broader, more strategic, and leadership-focused mindset can require an adjustment.
Initial Networking Gap: While not directly syllabus-related, some science graduates may initially feel a gap in business context or industry experience compared to peers with prior corporate careers.

Tips for a Smooth Transition

Leverage Your Strengths: Lean into your quantitative and analytical strengths to excel in those subjects early on.
Focus on Bridging Gaps: Dedicate extra effort to foundational business concepts, possibly using pre-MBA preparatory camps or online resources, if available.
Engage in Teamwork: Actively participate in group projects and discussions to develop soft skills like negotiation and leadership, which are emphasized in the MBA curriculum.
