Dear Mehar,
Lets look at the Selection criteria, here it is
SELECTION CRITERIA WEIGHT-AGES-2015
PI 20%
GD 10%
Write-up 10%
CAT/XAT/MAT/CMAT/GMAT percentile 25%
Graduation Marks % 10%
12th Marks % 5%
10th Marks % 5%
Work experience 12%
* Regional-Eastern States (seven sisters), Southern States (Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Pondicherry) & Jammu & Kashmir 3%
What is in your hand now ? - Only 3 out of the several above, that is GD, PI and Write-up.
The write-up is generally an essay, and mostly it is an abstract topic, but at times topics might be given which may require some business awareness. So if possible read some recent news and developments.
In GD, usually group of 8 to 9 students are formed, which is lesser compared to those of 12 to 14 formed by few other colleges. But this was last time, this might change, and is not much relevant too. The topics were abstract last year. The topics were like -
1) Small is beautiful
2) Age should be preferred or Talent while recruiting
As you can see, not much preparation is required for such topics, now out of the 10 marks of GD, it is divided into smaller chunks
like 2 to 3 marks for communication skills, 2 to 3 for body language, 1 to 2 for team work, 2 to 3 for content and so on.
Finally coming down to PI, last year there were panel of 2 faculties that conducted the interview. Now the questions asked by them are like - Why do you want to MBA ? Why BIMTECH ? Then they might ask questions from your profile (CV).
Then one case is given to be solved on the spot. It is an easy one. It is more the Decision Making questions of XAT.
Usually they don't ask technical questions depending on your background like few other colleges us. And also they don't grill as much as few other colleges.
So be relaxed, be yourself, and appear naturally in the Selection process.
The BIMTECH values honesty and integrity much more over other attributes, so trying to be someone else is not gonna help. Just be yourself.
Best of Luck.

Your MBA specialization basically depends on your personality, skills, and career goals. The traditional fields of Marketing and Finance will always remain popular.
Those who prefer to crunch numbers and are comfortable relegating to the background with balance sheets may do well with Finance specialisation.
Those who love to interact with clients, are creative and innovative, and can influence people easily can choose Marketing as their specialisation.
Business Operations is the best MBA specialisation for those who have technical or engineering backgrounds and love looking after men and machines, and backend processes where the real action takes place.
Human Resources or HR is a stream for people's person and is a job for those who have a charismatic personality that can mobilize employees and inspires trust and loyalty for the company.
Information Technology or IT specialisation is for management graduate who are geeks at heart who love computers, gadgets, and latest technology.

Hi,
In public health the focus is on populations and communities rather than individual patients. There are a number of career options in research, public or government services or voluntary organisations and non-governmental organisations. Starting from a common core, students may develop into roles ranging from public health analysts, health services researchers, communicable disease control consultants, environmental epidemiologists, health policy advisors or directors of public health.
Public health is a multidisciplinary speciality with entrants from a range of professional backgrounds including clinical (medicine, dentistry, nursing, professions allied to medicine) and non-clinical (a good first degree in a subject relevant to public health, usually a health science or environmental degree). An MPH can be a valuable asset to developing a career as a public health specialist abroad. The career trajectory after an MPH will depend partly on experience gained before starting the MPH or immediately after.
Hope this helps.

Hi Dhruvansh,
B.Sc. in Economics has more mathematical and practical implication and is opened for students who have studied mathematics till 10+2 whereas B.A. in Economics more theoretical program and can be done without studying mathematics till 10+2.

Many key business decisions rely on a clear understanding of relevant economic concepts and principles, while business success depends heavily on timely and appropriate responses to changes in the economic environment in which a business operates.
Hope this helps. All the best.
