Congratulations on securing a good CAT percentile like 91. You might be getting calls from many institutions- both good and average alike. In this very confusing scenario, you should be clear of one aspect. Always select the best for you. The college doesn’t necessarily have to be an Indian Institute of Management (IIM) for the sake of it.

One must also keep in mind various aspects while selecting a B-school. While the choice of targeting the MBA college entirely rests upon you, we can make the process easy for you. Take a look at some of the factors you should consider before applying to any MBA institute. Also, find out the colleges you can apply to with 91+ CAT percentile.

Factors to keep in mind while Selecting B-School

How to Determine the best college for you? These are some of the factors while selecting a B-school:-

• Infrastructure- Check if the college you are selecting has very good infrastructure if not the best.
• ROI- Check if the college is worthy of investing the hefty sum of money. Compare the college fees with the average annual package of a job offered to the students of the college.
• Read Alumni Reviews- The alumni of any college is the best source of information. They have studied there and have experienced the environment of the college. Try to connect with alumni of the college or read the reviews of alumni to get a clearer picture of the college.
• Specialization- Be clear of what you want to pursue and then select the college. Look for the B-schools that offer you the specialization of your choice. This is the best way to narrow down the list of colleges you want to target.
• Placement Opportunities- Finally, the placement opportunities of every MBA college should matter more than anything. Read the previous year placement report of every college that you have shortlisted. Check if the number of companies visiting the college is increasing or decreasing. Narrow down the list based on the maximum placement opportunities offered in a college.
