Work Exp -- 13 months till date in a reputed IT company..
My dream is to study in one of the top MBA colleges in INDIA not necessarily IIMs.. and i am striving hard for it ...
Last time i got 91.6% in CAT and i got calls from all six new IIMs and Indore (being a OBC canditate) without any preparation..
Regarding my career, i want to work in the field which really relates to my graduation i.e Mechanical Engineering..
But as i have already started my career in IT , would i be facing any troubles facing the interview panel, because this is my greatest concern..
I am interested in supply chain management, operations.. Please provide me with the information about the best b-schools in India including IIMs where i can get a quality specialisation and can provide me a nice platform..
I have heard about NITTIE... Please provide me names of any other colleges and entrance exams...
Hii.. As far as your academics are concerned they are more than decent and they can fetch you some very good calls. If you are REALLY interested for a field related to mechanical engineering, NITIE is surely a good choice. Apart from it IIT B is great in operations. Among IIMs B is really good in operations. But for all these you have work really hard and get >98 % ile.
But what I want to say is think deeply about a career you want to choose because this normally changes once when enters into a b school especially when you have not worked in mechanical sector.
Regarding the interviews don't worry as of now. Just bell the cat first and these small things can be handled easily.
@gauravsak said: Couldn't find the relevant thread to post this question. Sorry if I am off-topic. The search functionality is also under maintenance.1) What is the exact time when CAT registration starts? I am asking this so that I can confirm the most suitable batch for me.2) Does it matter in any terms if I apply for more than one IIMs while registering for CAT? When is the actual application fee processed?3) What all documents should I be ready with while filling the online form? I have read the registration guide but still wanted to confirm.Thanks
1. Sale of CAT Vouchers :

1. Profile is decent enough to fetch a call from the Top Notch IIM if you score good in CAT.
2. That depends on you, your expectation level from the B-School and of course your performance in the mocks. But i would suggest you to apply to few colleges for sure: IIFT, NMIMS, IIT B/D/Kgp , MDI, SPJAIN, XLRI, XIMB.
3. You should take at least one of AIMCAT's or CL's mock because these 2 mocks are taken by a good number of students in India. It is in that situation only that you get to know your level.
4. 3 Hours is good enough if you use it efficiently everyday. Though, you can try to increase it as the D-Day is approaching.
5. For RC's, try to practise as much as possible and keep reading. Read any damn thing. Be it articles, newspapers, magazines, nobles,etc anything..
What should be the least targeted score below which it is impossible to get a call from good college..
it depends upon your definition of good college... if you are talking about IIM's even score of 98 sometimes is not enough to get a call..... so try to maximize your efforts and scores... and atleast don't think about things like least targeted score right now... ATB...

@katvond said:@avinashkrjha i was under the impression that one should look towards xlri primarily if one wants to build a career in hr
XLRI is renowned for HR Course. But that doesn't mean BM Course is not worth. Apart from that, there are other colleges through XAT which are worth joining like SPJAIN, XIMB.. !!
Hi Puys, I plan on answering XAT this year.Could anybody please tell me when roughly the results will be out in 2013?Also can i purchase the admission forms of the colleges after the results are out?example for GIM/LIBA.. Thankss in advance for your replies

1. XAT is held on 1st Sunday of January every year. The same is expected this time as well.
2. Results of XAT are declared by the end of January.
3. Admission forms can be purchased/applied to individual colleges either before or after XAT exam depending upon the deadline of individual college. For few it is before XAT. e.g XLRI, XIMB, GIM. FOr few it is after XAT. e.g IMT. And for few it is even after XAT Results. e.g IFMR, LIBA. Stay tuned to this thread for all updates. All the Best.. !!
