Hope to get your precious two cents on application matter -X th >90XII th 80.0 (exact)B Tech (EEE) 7.65 (2011)Employed as Sr. Engineer- CTC 3.1 since grad - Work Ex- >1yrCAT'12 Attempts - QA- 16, VA- 29 Accuracy should be high in both sections. Will be writing XATApplied for till date- IIMs, MDI.Planning to apply to- BITS- Pilani, IITsExpectation- Good Finance acads and an initial thrust to reputed institutions.Response suggesting B-Schools to apply for, relative to my performance in CAT, will be appreciated. I understand that no one can predict percentile at this stage , but a conservative estimate from an experienced test taker would do ! Thanks in advance for indulgence.
As you said high accuracy, I am assuming it as 85-90%.
In that scenario, you could expect anything above 98%ile.

Would like to receive suggestions from your end....X th 84.8XII th 76.8B Tech (EEE) 8.67 (2010)Decent Extra Curriculars - School level and University Level.Analyst-Engineering(Mainteneance) (Sep 2010 - Apr-2012) CTC 4.28L Work ex -20Switched to Sales & Marketing in the same company(manufacturing firm)Analyst- Sales (Industrial Aftermarket Distribution) CTC 5.6L Work ex- 12(till Apr 2012)CAT'12 Attempts - QA- 16, VA- 21 Accuracy should be high in both sections.

I know its kinda futile to predict percentile now , but a conservative estimate from an experienced test taker would do ! Thanking you in anticipation.
Assuming 85-90% accuracy, you should expect a %ile of 90+
SPJAIN, FMS, NITIE are very tough at this score. If you end up scoring 97+, then you might have a chance.
SPJAIN --> Do apply as you have XAT also in consideration for SPJAIN
@avinashkrjha Yes. I expect accuracy of greater than 85 percent. Not too sure about (applying to) MFC- DU. They have points criteria something similar to IIM-A. I am a misfit for that, thanks to not a great acad. But it helps. Thanks a lot.How about FMS? My first pref is a Mumbai based College, therefore will be gunning for KJ Som. If a Mumbai based college is not feasible, will be looking for a college with good residential environment, like GIM, TAPMI, IIT-B, BITS. Any idea if CMAT Feb helps in getting into some colleges ? I am not a Maharashtrian, have heard of reservation for localites in JBIMS etc. If aware about it, kindly share. Thanks again, it is already a great help.
Yes, you could add FMS as well.
Yes, for feb CMAT, you have options like JBIMS, Sydenham, KJ-SOM, GIM
There is 85% seats for Maharashtra Candidates for MMS Seats.

MASTI ke liye exam diye the this year gave CMAT .... just 1100 ranknow can some one tell me which colleges to apply ????? will give SNAP ....TISS .... no XAT ....i guess ....will give CMAT though ....
1. In CAT, you can expect your %ile to be somewhere near 85-90.
2. As of now, apply to --> IMT, NIRMA, FORE, LBS, UBS
3. After CAT Results, you can apply to --> TAPMI, BIM-T, KJ-SOM, IIT's (if u get good %ile), etc.
4. Through SNAP, Apply to --> SIBM, SCMHRD
5. At a Rank of 1100 in CMAT, you can apply to GIM, Goa
6. Suggest you to appear for XAT as well as many colleges have started accepting XAT along with CAT such as IMT, TAPMI, etc. You already have colleges like XLRI, XIMB, GIM through XAT.
7. Hope this helps. Get back in case of further query.. !!
@kaancha MFC/MBE is an institution which has finance as its forte and should not be missed out if you wish to pursue a career in the same. Yes there is a course offerd by NITIE on PGDITM but the cutoff for the same hovers around 96 percentile. Last year XIMB's PGDM CAT cut off for last year was 94 percentile, with 90 and 95 percentile for Quant and VA section respectively.
Work Ex : 15 months in core construction with a decent salary
CAT Experience :
QA/DI : 23 attempts . Hoping for 85-90% accuracy
VA/LR : 22 attempts . weak in VA , sure about 9 ques in LR . lets say 18 are correct .
Applied till now : IMI ( not sure whether i should take it seriously ) , MDI
Planning to apply : SPJAIN, NITIE, Snap colleges, not sure about XIMB , FMS .
Please, tell what should i aim as of now. I dont want to settle down to very low college ( atleast 10 lacs package with gud profile job ) , at the same time, i so want to get into MBA college this year .
Thanks
PS : @avinashkrjha sirjee : would appreciate your views :)
