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

@ansh12345 said:
Well thats just an assumption...you can even get 99+ or 97 too depending on the normalization done so don't be disheartened you have got a great score so start preparing for the GD/PI
i am telling one thing, i am not attending any GD/PI if i ever get a %ile below 99...

Expect 99+....Few IIM's call are under your belt.

Also apply to:

FMS
NITIE
SP Jain
IIT's B D after CAT Result

Anything below these colleges are not worth your score...ATB :mg:
@ansh12345 well hope they dont else it wud be hard to keep the same number!! :)

Can anyone explain the normalization process?? Does it just depend on difficulty level or your accuracy also?? and if the questions are already divided into easy moderate and tough categories for the normalization process to work,, y dont they give same number of questions from respective levels which will have automatic normalization then!! I read something about statistical evidence on the site and was wondering what it is.. Is it something like the number of students attempted that question correctly or not??
P.S.: Am not doubting CAT people, obviously they are very intelligent and experienced but i want to know the process because i want to know if its really authentic and transparent!!

Just try to avoid such calls...in a positive way makes getting so many calls gives you a feeling that you are in so much demand :mg: :P

No one can answer your second query so avoid posting such queries 😃 leave the normalization with the IIM's and focus on your future exams and gd/pi...
@ansh12345 Hmm i was just curius nothing else!!

If that the case then still you should go ahead and apply to these top giants...who knows normalization might prove lucky for you :mg:
