Help me make decision

Hi folks help me decide my primary objective CUET SRCC VS IPMAT IIM, currently I am in BCom FY( Had 12 Commerce without maths) and considering a partial drop.

Both the institutions hold great reputation, srcc is superior in terms of ROI, delhi exposure, freedom and while IIM IPM have a great curriculum but is more restrictive and I think it can help me a lot in personality development compare to DU.

Also managing CUET is much more easier for me compare to ipmat, srcc is clearly superior to every IIM IPM except indore and with srcc I can go to iim later also.

I will be greatful if you can give me insights about both and help me make decision.

Also I am gonna prep for CAT or foreign MBA at any college except IIM Indore and cost is a determining factor but not a constraints and there is nothing such that I want a secure path to do and sit at college for 5 years.

Also please tell me how easy or hard it is to manage both.

Thanking you

Situation analysis

  1. You are already in a B.Com course, and going to prepare for CAT and foreign MBA. Now, the difference between SRCC and IPM in terms of curriculum lies in this only, SRCC will give you a commerce degree meanwhile BA(Foundations of management)[for indore] will prepare you for an MBA. Both have their own merits .
  2. CUET being easier for you is definitely a factor you shouldn't ignore, but it shouldn't be driving your decision.
  3. You should probably stress on the fact that you get a guaranteed* MBA seat at IIM Indore, that is just a fantastic opportunity. Now, based on my understanding, you stated that you won't prep for CAT/ Foreign MBA if get into IIM Indore, can you confirm this and explain your thinking behind this?

Now, for recommendations, it is possible to manage both cuet and ipmat at the same time, loads of people do it every year. But it's not easy. It requires a lot of effort.

The key is to understand what both exams need where cuet needs good subject knowledge for domains and decent VA, LR, QA, as well as GK whereas ipmat requires deeper knowledge of VA, LR, QA and hence the prep strategy will vary, you need to manage them simultaneously.

Now, for the main question, which to keep as primary, I would recommend keeping CUET as a primary due to a combination of factors you mentioned and perhaps the non maths background to some extent as well. But I would suggest that you still try for IPMAT. There's one person in our batch who was primarily preparing for SRCC but couldn't clear that but somehow cleared IPMAT so that is definitely a possibility.
