Do non-engineers without math background struggle at IIMs?

Non-engineers without strong math background (BA, B.Sc non-math) don't significantly struggle at IIMs, per the AMA host: "Nope, plenty of courses to make up. Everyone has their strengths. Know plenty of CAs, grads from SRCC who have high GPAs." At IIM Ahmedabad (Rs 27.5L fees, Rs 35.22 LPA avg), first-year curriculum includes foundational courses in economics, statistics, accounting, and finance - designed to bring all students to common baseline. The specific courses that help non-math non-engineers: Managerial Economics, Statistics for Business Decisions, Financial Accounting, Corporate Finance. These are taught from scratch. Performance comparison: non-engineers typically have slower start in year 1 Quant-heavy courses but catch up by year

1. Overall CGPA difference between engineers and non-engineers is negligible at IIM A. The commenter confirmed knowing BA Psych students doing well. For Bsc non-math candidates (e.g., Zoology, Microbiology), the adjustment is similar to non-engineers - basic statistics and accounting are teachable. The AMA host's point about CAs and SRCC grads with high GPAs at IIM is important - commerce + finance background is actually well-suited to MBA curriculum. Non-engineers without math struggle only if they entered MBA without any quantitative preparation; doing a pre-MBA course in accounting/finance helps significantly.
