ECE engineers with 18-24 months of branded workex and 9/9/8 academics have approximately 60-70% success rate at IIM Mumbai PI, converting from shortlist to final admission. This is higher than freshers (40-50% success) and similar to other engineering streams with equivalent profile. The OP of this thread (9/9/8 ECE, 18 months PwC, 99.37 EWS) attended IIM M Kolkata PI and expected moderate-to-high conversion chance. IIM Mumbai at Rs 23L fees and Rs 22 LPA average runs conversions based on: (
- CAT percentile (30% weight), (2) academic record 10/12/UG (30% weight), (3) workex quality and duration (15% weight), (4) interview performance (20% weight), (5) gender/category diversity (5% weight). For 99+ EWS ECE engineer with good workex and 10/9/8 academics, shortlist to conversion rate is high. For General ECE engineer at 99+ with similar profile, rate is 50-55% due to higher competition. ECE engineers have natural fit at IIM M because: (1) signal processing and communications are business-relevant, (2) supply chain tech (RFID, IoT) connects to operations, (3) tech consulting and product management are natural post-MBA paths. Post-interview, final conversion is announced 4-6 weeks later. Waitlist movement at IIM M is moderate (10-20% over the summer); direct converts get priority. For candidates with borderline interview, waitlist is possible; for strong interview, direct convert is likely. Check your eligibility at collvera.com/eligibility
