@avinashkrjha - Hey buddy,

I attempted 15 in sec 1 (85% accuracy)

21 in sec 2 ( 80 % accuracy)

Can you help me out as in which colleges should I apply to and what percentile can I expect?

Thank u

@freebull Yes. It does count.
@anshuman17 Anything between 80-85 percentile. Apply to IISWBM, TAPMI, IMT Nagpur, BIMTECH, NIRMA, KJSOM-IB.

Hello Guys,


My attempts go this way,
Section one- 20 (worst case 2 may go wrong)
Section two- 22 (considerable accuracy)
10th- 84%
12th - 83%
B.E- 65%
work exp- 20 months.

Which B-School I need to short list for applying?

PS- Do clearing Service Selection Board and Certificates from employer count "considerably" during PI?

You can expect anything beyond 97 %ile

Apply to

NITIE
FMS
SPJAIN
IMT
XIMB

After Results --> IIT's

Few Back up's --> TAPMI, KJ-SOM, BIM-T, etc.. !!

Through XAT --> XL, XIMB, GIM

Through SNAP --> SIBM, SCMHRD

Yes, it should def count as one of your achievements (SSB).. !!

Heard about this institute called Infinity Business School.. The institute claims to have faculty from IIMs, MDI, FMS, XLRI, etc.. The top 10.. What are your takes on this specific school ? It looked attarctive to me, but I want some opinions. I am looking to enroll in 2013

@ethanhunt1230 Can't comment about your percentile. I was never good in predicting the percentiles and so would not want to give you any false hope or make you sad. CAT was always tricky and online has made it more unpredictable :)
Anyway, coming back to your other queries, I would advise you to apply to colleges like NITIE, MDI and one from either of Tapmi or Nirma as backup. After the results are out, apply to IITs B-schools like VGSoM, SJMSoM and others based on your percentile. You could also apply to IMI and IMT after the results are out. These 2 colleges had reopened their application windows in the past and I'm sure the trend would not be different this year too.
Also, any certificate from your employer would be given due credit and would surely help you get some brownie points. You could also show SSB certificate but then you've to give a good explanation as why you want to do MBA?

Sorry but we won't comment about the worth of any B-School on this forum.

Let us know your Profile, Your Mock Performances, Your Attempts in CAT with a rough figure of accuracy and we can suggest you the options of B-Schools to Apply.

As far as this B-School is concerned, it is not among the Top Ranked B-School.

Check the Top 100 B-Schools as per Pagalguy in the Rankings Section.

Get back in case of any other query.. !!

HOW DID YOU APPEAR ON 31ST NOV 2012 ...:D
@Red_Bull Sir wanted to know I would be having nearly 4 yrs of experience in Electrical maintenance job next yr while joining. Are there ppl in VGSOM having such high experience and age on wrong side and yet shortlisted for good jobs in placement week. plz reply it will help me to take decision.
@HAKUNAMATATAAAA : 31st oct...3.15 pm...my mistake
@rohit03 The average work-ex of our batch is close to 30-32 months and so you could see work-ex guys are VGSoM's strength. There are atleast 15 students in our batch whose total work-ex is more than 4 years and they really get some of the best jobs from VGSoM (both during summers and finals). I hope things are clearer now :)
@Red_Bull Sir,
How is the Executive MBA from VGSOM? Do they get placements?

i ve given CAT on 25 th october ...

ive attempted 26 questions in quant ...in which atleast 22 questions are correct( checked with my mates)...
and in Verbal ive attempted 28 ..in which i xpect atleast 21 (6 rc + 9lr + 3 PJS +1 IDIOM +1 SENTENCE CORRECTION+I FIB) should be correct...what percentile should i xpect and which bschools should i apply to??
wondering about an unknown normalization thing!!ive never had any idea and never thought about percentile..jus worked hard...used to get 95% on an avg in aimcats ...please suggest me..

I am amidst great confusion of applying to b schools. Please do help me selecting the cols out of the ones I have listed below. I am not sure how much percentile I will get in CAT( attempted (12 + 19 = 31 q with 95% accuracy). Still waiting to write XAT & SNAP.

Please do not arrange the colleges but help me select 5 from it. Do select the top most- medium - okay rated colleges as I am not ready to take risk depending on CAT scores.

1) FMS
2) JBIMS
3) XLRI
4) XIME
5) SP Jain
6) BIMTECH
7) LIBA
8) Amrita
9) XIMB
