How the MBA Profilizer works

Every college has their own criteria on giving candidates calls. These criteria take into account a huge host of factors which have been included in the MBA Profilizer. Some of the criteria include:

• Academic Performance (Class X, Class XII, Graduation Grades)
• Work Experience
• Category
• CAT Score
• Gender

These are some of the factors that play a role in the B-Schools giving you a call. The MBA Profilizer has been tuned according to the criteria of each college and the weightage assigned to each measure to ensure that you get the most accurate result in regards to the potential B-School calls that you can receive.

Inspiration behind IIM Profilizer

CL's IIM Profilizer is for the CAT aspirants, by a CAT aspirant. It is the brain child of Gautam Bawa, MBA Head, CL & IIM Calcutta Alumnus, but, basically, the idea came to him from his CAT prep days. As per Gautam, "When I started preparing for the MBA entrances, the very first thing that I did was calculate my profile score & the percentile that I needed to score for each institute based on their eligibility and shortlisting criteria. I was successful to an extent, however, there were certain institutes which normalize our scores in X, XII and Graduation based on their own database. That I couldn't work on. However, once I entered the education line post my MBA from IIM Calcutta, I used CL's student database and simulated to calculate my profile score for those institutes to see if I had a chance when I had started preparing. That's when it struck me that a tool around this could simplify things for students. Thus, my experience as an MBA aspirant was the rationale behind IIM Profilizer.

The IIM Profilizer compares your profile parameters such as category, academics, gender etc. with the eligibility criteria of the IIMs. It then gives the list of IIMs from where you can get an interview call and, the percentile required for the same.
