[2023] Which B-Schools should you apply to?

@nidhi2802 said:
Attempted CAT on 19th Oct 2012... 13 attempts in sec 1 with almost 100% accuracy & 21 attempts in sec-2, cant say abt the accuracyCan anyone suggest which colleges i should apply to and what %ile i can expect?
You can expect anything from 75 to 90%ile based on your accuracy level.

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/Fore-IB
LBS
FMS-BHU
UBS

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.

You could have same options after your CAT Results based on the %ile you get.. !!

@avinashkrjha & @sunwinderpal : MBA is a compulsion this year.. i am a 2011 engg passout.. n m interested towards operations

You could apply to SIOM based on your SNAP Score.. !!

Through XAT , try for XIMB, GIM

@avinashkrjha thnks :)

@nidhi2802 See, first your percentile would fell short for decent colleges. Now as you have mentioned that MBA is compulsion then go for NIT's. They would be a better bet than the remaining institutions. Also you could opt for BIMTECH and IISWBM as @avinashkrjha had pointed out in his earlier post. Check once if applications for IMI Bhubaneswar and Kolkata are open, if yes then you can try there also. Also, I assume that you would have applied for other examinations also, viz., XAT, SNAP. So prepare hard for those exams, try fetching a good score and you may still land up in creme institution.
@sunwinderpal thnks.

ny idea on cutoffs of colleges like IMT nagpur & wellingkar?

IMT Nagpur CAT Cut off is somewhere in 70's.

For Wellingkar, it is profile based. One could have a chance of getting call in 80's.
@avinashkrjha so IMT nagpur can be considered na? how is it in terms of placements?

Avg placements are around 5-5.5 .. !!

I am not sure of the 100% Placements.. !!

Is FMS,BHU a good college to apply?

BITSAT scrapped fro BITS Pilani MBA admission for 2013-2015 batch.

IMT Nagpur - 70+
Welingkar - 85+ (For a sure shot call)

Welingkar and IMT Nagpur are known for extending their last dates a lot so you can decide on them after your cat results...

A good college with great ROI...fees will be around a lakh for the whole course and average placements are around 8...
Last date for sale of forms - 26 Nov....

@Dream_FMS I am expecting a score of 83+ i cat..how do i know the percentile??any idea what %tile one have with this score...comparing it with last year...
Check out the process of normalization...conversion of percentage into percentile depends on certain parameters..
@Pratap29 said:
thnx dude ... .... but i doubt i can get through in SP Jain because of my grad acads . Is it not the case ???
It all depends on your score your score first...if you get around 95%ile then you are surely in for a call from SP JAIN as your profile is good except that cgpa in grad...so forget that and prepare for the next challenge i.e. GD/PI...ATB :)


@vijay_chandola only IIT D require a cgpa above 6.75 and IIT B of 6.5...rest fall in between 6 to 6.25 minimum requirement OK ?

For HR

XIMB , SCMHRD , XLRI , SPJain. IMT Ghz

In general

If you can get above 90%tile in CAT .. expect calls from a few IIMs

CAT

SPJAIN , IMT GHZ

XAT

XLRI and XIMB

as Backups Tapmi , KJ Somayia , GIM
@paridhidixit Excellent academic credentials. If your CAT experience has been good, rest assured you would be receiving calls from most of the top b-schools. As per your preference for an HR specialization under CAT aim for XIMB, MDI, IIMs, SPJAIN under SNAP target for SCMHRD and under XAT go for the mecca of HR, XLRI.
