Yes, you can also shift your college in the second year via the institute transfer or lateral entry process, but it will be based on the university regulations. Here are the steps you may adopt:

1. Verify university rules – Raisoni College is associated with SGBAU (Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University). Call the university to check if transfers will be permitted.
2. Get into a proper college – Shortlist colleges that admit second-year transfers and observe their eligibility criteria.
3. Apply for noc (no objection certificate) – you require consent from your existing college and the target college.
4. University approval – provide all the documents to the university for final approval.
   Since the rules are different, go to the academic office of both the colleges to get proper guidance.

All the very best!

The Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Institute for Management Development (SDMIMD), Mysore, usually fixes its application deadline for the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) course on February 28th every year. Exceptions or extensions are occasionally provided on a case-by-case basis or at the discretion of the institution.

As you intend to attempt the MAT exam on 23rd March, 2025, it would be better to confirm directly with SDMIMD about the possibility of applying after the February deadline. Several institutes permit candidates to apply provisionally, as long as they provide their entrance test scores when available. SDMIMD could also entertain such cases if you fulfill other eligibility parameters and have strong academic or professional qualifications.

The MAT test is one of the accepted entry tests for SDMIMD PGDM admission. In addition to the MAT score, selection procedure usually encompasses academic record, work experience (in case applicable), and performance during group discussion and personal interviews. Make sure to prepare sufficiently well for the MAT test so as to achieve a competitive score as it significantly influences the admission.

To avoid missing out, it is recommended to contact SDMIMD's admissions office directly for clarification on their policy regarding late applications or score submissions. They may provide guidance on how to proceed and whether any flexibility can be extended in your case. Additionally, keep an eye on their official announcements for updates on deadlines or changes in the admission process.
