@supreetkini whatever you have done can not be changed now, so instead of speculating about your score, you must brace yourself for the next round of elimination.

Hello,

I'm expecting around 90%ile. From what I have read in this thread, I should be applying (before CAT result) to the following:

1. FORE
2. LBS
3. UBS
4. NIRMA

Can anyone please tell me the preference order to apply/select from these colleges. I will apply only one or at max. two colleges from them. And on what grounds should I make a decision?

@pksingh3232 Just an estimation...second section has always been my strong point...have been doing very well in that section in AIMCAT's as well..
@anand5787 Yes, but I need to apply right now, isn't it...So, need an estimation of my score, so I can get a range of colleges to apply to

Xth:79%

XII:76%
Grad:68%(B.Tech)

@sunwinderpal Hi Sir,
I had my cat on 4th of Nov (morning slot)
attempts: sec 1- 11-12 (70% accuracy) Sec 2- 27 (80- 90% accuracy)

My Acads are as follows:
X 74% (best 5) 72.8%(all subjects)
XII 68% (best 5) 64%(all Subjects)
Grad: Hotel Management: Bsc in hospitality and hotel administration- 59%
Work Ex: 25 months ( Asst. store Manager in a Retail Outlet.

Well i am really disappointed by my attempts in sec 1 as i got stuck n ran out of time.....may be luck was not on my side fully....neways its over now n i need ur expert advices........as doing MBA is a compulsion for me this year.

Sec 1 was definitely on a tougher side with many calculation intensive questions, as compared to other slots. I asked few others too......they had almost same story.
Sec 2 was on a easier side and i attempted it with a good accuracy and attempts.

Seeing the trend of past years and paper standards with varied difficulties levels of this year.....
How much %ile can i expect....??
Which colleges should i apply to??......giving NMAT, IIFT, IBSAT and XAT.....confused about SNAP......Already applied to MDI.
According to my profile what do u suggest......as MBA this year is a compulsion.....and have to do it from a good b-school so that i can expect maximum ROI for repayment of my loan.

Any Special Suggestion/Advice.......Most Welcome......

TIA...

Sir, I gave my CAT on 3rd November in 3:15 slot.
My academics are:
10th : 84.17
12th: 77.6
B.E. : 52.34

Experience in IT(ERP) of 24 months.

My attempt is :

QA/DI: 17( 1 wrong)
VA/LR: 27(more than 90 percent accuracy i feel)

Could you guide me on which colleges to apply.
I am in a dilemma, I have already applied for MDI and IMI, Delhi. I am also appearing for XAT, SNAP and NMIMS.

I would like to join in this academic session if I get a good college. I would like to have a specialization in finance, also have interest in operations, logistics.

I want overall holistic experience with great exposure with competent peers.

Thanks in advance,
Kushal Agarwal
