There are 2 courses

MIB & MHROD

MIB - Masters in International Business
MHROD - Masters in HR & Org Dev

Cut off last yr was 93.xx in CAT

Average Salaries are in the range of 6.5-7 lacs per annum.

Fee is very less. Last date for applying is usually after the CAT Results.

Hope this helps.

1. Colleges you should target:-GLIM (PGPX)- 1 year program, Placements are awesome for people with experience in I.T-BIM-Trichy- Excellent for I.T and operations.-TAPMI-IMI-K.J Somaiya-IIT's-GIM2. You can definitely have a crack at S.P Jain . Even if you are not selected on the basis of profile you can definitely get in by scoring above 97%ile in CAT.ATB!!

Great Lakes has more of IT Placements (As far as I know).

For further details, I would suggest you to get in touch with someone from Great Lakes.

Placement Details have been provided on their website as well. Have a look at that too.

For marketing, there could be many other options like FMS, S.P.JAIN Mumbai, MDI, SIBM, SCMHRD, XLRI , NMIMS , XIMB, IMT, GIM (In no particular order), etc followed by others.. !!

You can expect something in the Range of 75-85 %ile.. !!

Apply to Colleges with cut off's 70-85.

Won't suggest for colleges other than 2-3 if doing MBA is not a compulsion this year.

Some of the options as of now (Whose last dates are before CAT Results) -->

KJ-IB
Fore IB
LBS
FMS-BHU

If you def have to go for MBA, then some more options -->

BIMTECH
IISWBM
NIBM Pune, etc

You could try for NIT's as well.

Can anyone suggest which colleges i should apply to and what %ile i can expect?
@avinashkrjha Thanks for the info regarding DSE..can you give the similar info for MFC..?

Masters in Finance & Control

Fee - Very Low

Avg Pkg - Around 9


@nidhi2802 My guess would be that the percentile would range between 76 - 84 percentile. It will be better if you apply to colleges within the window of 70 - 85 percentile. That will take care of any variations if it comes across. Though not many appreciable colleges come under this range. So, if you are a fresher and have time by your side, attempt CAT again. For your reference you can visit the link below to have the rough idea about the cutoffs for institutions for last year.
