Comparing B schools is not allowed in Pagalguy.

Use PMs for knowing B schools better.

You can check the pagalguy rankings for details:

@swayambhar - I doubt PG rankings shud be referred to for knowing the rankings...its only perception based & doesn't represent the exact picture....nothing against PG as such...
2820
@BHATIADEEPAK02 - SIBM Pune widout a tinge of doubt....
2821
@BHATIADEEPAK02 - SIBM-P, SCMHRD, SIIB, SIBM-B in the order.....

what about nirma...can i apply!!@supratimd916 what about nirma or fore (ib) can i apply
NIRMA and Fore (IB) at less than 85 %ile would be difficult but I will suggest that you apply because you can never say what your actual %ile will be. Thus it would be better to apply than repent latter.

ATB!!
2824
@supratimd916 yes you are right... same case with me... last year got 90%ile... FORE converted... but i left for one more chance.. but this time... today was my CAT... and i got toughest LR/VA section. LR toughest and time consuming.... this time I am not sure that I will score more than 90%ile , but possible less thn 90%ile... and now I am feeling, If I opt FORE last year thn it will be far better for me.. as i have lost one more year in CAT prepn... !!!

Hello , I have attempted 21 in sec 1 and 19 in sec 2 with more than 85% accuracy. Acads wise SSC 83%, Intemediate 89%, BE (ECE) with 76% and now am working from past two years. Which BSchool is best for my acads and wat %ile can i expect?
2827

@avinashkrjh sir, my acads are

x- 86.5
XII- 95.1
grad - 75

CAT - oct 21 morning slot
section 1 - 20 (atleast 16 correct) seemed moderate difficulty level
section 2 - 26 attempted( 9 LR absolutely correct and 15 VA reasonably well) --this was easy to moderate level

what percentile can i expect...??

hv already applied to MDI, XLRI , IMI

And i am sure of applying to SIBM, SCM HRD, NITIE, FMS, GIM

can i apply to sp jain ..?

If i end up getting some where around 90 %...what are the backup institues i should apply?

I belong to NC-OBC category

Thanks in advance

@BHATIADEEPAK02 - At 90%ile NIRMA wud give d call surely....nt sure abt FORE...
2829
I ended up attempting only 17 questions in the 1st section.In 2nd section,i attempted 22 ques and I'm fairly confident that most of them would be correct.so can you give me a rough estimate as to what percentile i may be able to manage with this,assuming that i get around 14-15 correct in the 1st n around 18-19 correct in the 2nd,and also taking into factor that the paper was a bit tougher than that of the last year.

Don't be dejected. If your paper was tough then you would definitely benefit from the normalization and this year CAT is relatively more difficult than last year. So at lower attempts even people get better %iles.

All The Best !!!

Hi all, I had my Cat yesterday : 5th Nov, morning slot.QA : 23 attempts(atleast 20 correct) : They say, this section wasn't that difficult as compared to papers in other slots but one set of DI seemed incorrect.VA : 27 attempts (approx 18 correct).What percentile can I expect?And which all institutes should I apply to?Already applied for IMI and MDI. Should I expect a call from MDI?Also, how is DSM(delhi college of engineering)?Im working in IT and earning 4 Lacs pa, is it worth joining DSM, if I get selected?Regards.

You can expect anything around 90 %ile. It may improve depending on normalization.
