This cannot be predicted at all.

Depends on the %ile - Mark graph of individual section.

Your overall %ile cannot be less than 80. But it could be between 80 & 94-95 and it could be greater than 94-95 as well.. !!

coudn't figure out where to ask this so here goes my off topic question plz bear with me..


does teaching job(read engineering college) counts in experience part ?

My slot was 3rd Nov 3:15

QA-12A,12C
VA-18A,15C(atleast)
what percentile can i expect?
10th-88%
12th-83.5%
BSc-83.3%

MBA is a compulsion for me next year, what should be my target colleges??
Also,
Which are the best 5 ROI colleges?

@tanmoy87
Colleges with good ROIs---

IIM ABCLIK, XLRI (in spite of the greater costs incurred what they give in return is invaluable and I am not talking only monetarily) FMS (ridiculously low fees, ridiculously high returns, yes monetary) , JBIMS Mumbai (The FMS of west)

Govt colleges with low fees and great placements..
DMS IIT Delhi,
SJMSOM IIT Mumbai, VGSOM IIT KGP, NITIE, TISS, IRMA (rural management)

honorable mentions-SRCC GBO, MFC-MBE DU (ridiculously inexpensive), LBSIM Delhi

@tanmoy87

Well sorry if that is the case, anyway I myself am an aspirant this year so am in no position to speculate on the percentile you may achieve. But the list contains colleges that have separate entrance exams (IIFT, XAT for XLRI, CMAT for JBIMS, TISSnet for TISS, SRCC GBO, IRMA (registrations are over though)). great options are still there I would only advise you to not speculate your future performance on the basis of whatever that has happened in the past.

You cannot change whatever has happened. So stop worrying about your grads %age. Try to improve as much as you can till you pass out.

Seeing your overall acads, you def stand chance for almost every Top B-School if you score good in CAT/XAT.

JBIMS doesn't look much into acads.

All the Best for your preparation.. !!

Hi Sir/ Madam,
I needed a suggestion.
I took my CAT on 3rd Nov 2012, i attempted 17 in Quant and 24 in Verbal, i cannot comment on accuracy as you never know your score unless the results are out. I felt the paper was "Easy-Moderate" with some sort of thinking required in each question. I could have attempted more.

Actually, i want to know which all colleges should i apply?
Like should i apply to FMS, SP JAIN...etc looking at my attempts.

Which are the other good colleges to apply?

My personal details are as follows,
10th 72.3 %
12th 83.68 %
Grad (Mechanical Engineer): 6.7 CGPA
Work Ex: 26* Months as a Stress engineer of Aircraft at Infosys.

PS: I will also be giving other exams like NMAT, IIFT, SNAP, XAT and CMAT.

Thanks & Regards,
Adesh
