@abhimukh19 Sirjee..Just great? A super awesome job!!
Just check out the individual replies given to everyone over the 160+ pages!! And never ever has there been any stop to the flow of replies over the last 4 months since this thread was started in July!! And the extra efforts to compile list of cut-offs, average salaries etc. Truly amazing! And I can only wonder how many PM's he must be getting!!! He is truly a "Pagal"guy!!

@visionIIM-ACL A PG Madcapz or some relevant recognition, and a truly deserving one, is due here to @avinashkrjha! And I guess ALL here, including me, second this nomination given by ArmyofHope!!
Yes.. I PMed him many times. And he never miss to respond. Forget about reply, he dont even make any delay in giving response/suggestions.
Three cheers !!!

Hi...i ve already discussed my profile..but m having an year gap of two years between +2 and b. tech due to preparation for engineering....do top colleges consider dis point in gd -pi...m expecting somewhere around 92-96 percentile in CAT-2012. kindly suggest me some good college...My Profile-10th- 7112th-71b.tech(eee)- 9.2/10presented three papers at national and international level and won several accolades in extra-curricular..
That won't hamper your chances of making it to a Top B-School.

You might be asked about this gap in your Interview. Do justify it properly with genuine reasons.

At a %ile of 92-96, you should apply to

XIMB
IMT
UBS
LBS
NIRMA
FORE

For more options, get back on this thread after CAT Results.. !!

Thank you all of you ( @ArmyofHope , @ajaygovindg sir , @abhimukh19 sir , @Preeti_L , @AbhiOfficial ) for the words of praise.


And that makes me more confident, more motivated, more inclined towards what I am doing. Thanks a ton.. !!

So that means.. You are giving even more liberty to Aspirants like us in pestering you more ! :P
Anyways, Np :)
@avinashkrjha thanks a lot sir....u r doing a great job..m thinking of BITS Pilani....is it feasible on my profile and %tile..which is the best trade for mba...pls suggest me few..
@abhi0712 Hope you don't mind me answering! :)

With an expected score of 92-96, I would say the institutes avinash has mentioned and some others to be applied after CAT results would be better options!

By best trade, do you mean specialization? If yes, the choice depends on your likes & tastes. There is no "best" specialization per say in MBA. All are equally good, if you have an interest in that particular field.
@avinashkrjha ..Hi friend...in CAT section 1 i did 15-16(with 90% accuracy) and in Section 2 i did 24(95% accuracy).....i want to know
1.my prospective percentile
2.Which institutes shall i apply to on the basis of my expected percentile(In Delhi NCR region only).....
3.In addition to the above(2)...can u also suggest some other gud b schools in delhi NCR where i shall apply to if i dnt get a decent percentile in CAT or if i dnt make it at the GD/interview stage(i guess after CAT it'll only b MAT based schools den)....
Yaar pls throw some light so that i can plan in advance and minimize my risks....thanks:)
@ajaygovindg thanks for answering my queries....i will follow ur suggestions...
@Dexter25 You can definitely expect a score of 95+ and maybe some IIM calls also depending on your profile!! Otherwise consider applying to:

FMS, New Delhi
IIT Delhi
MDI Gurgaon (deadline over!)
IMT Ghaziabad
IMI, New Delhi
FORE, New Delhi
MIB & MHROD at DSE
LBSIM, New Delhi
DSM, DTU

And hope you have applied for IIFT exam.
@ajaygovindg ...Hey thanks friend for the prompt reply:)....well 95+ seems to be really high..i m predicting somewhat between 80-90....out of the list that u have mentioned i cannot apply to IIT and DSM,DTU as i m from a non engineering background......FORE, LBSIM, MIB & MHROD at DSE seems to be within reachable zone....but FMS,MDI,IMT are pureply 95+ ones and even if i get betwn 90-95 my chances will b remote....and ya frnd i have also applied for IIFT exam.....

For DSM-DTU, you will have to wait as the notification is not yet out. The deadline will be Post CAT Results. So you can wait till your Result.

IIF, Delhi --> http://www.iif.edu/images/academic/AdmissionNotice_Regular.pdf

RGPIT --> Not yet out. It can be expected after CAT Results only.. !!

For All India Seats, there is no reservation.

I suggest you to give CMAT for applying to JBIMS. The CAT %ile required will be too high.. !!
@Dexter25 With those many attempts and such high expected accuracy you expect just 80-90?

About IIT and DSM. Sorry, I didn't read through your profile completely.

IIF - This might help http://www.iif.edu/academicprograms/addmission/FAQ.htm#jj

DSM-DTU - You can ask queries here http://www.pagalguy.com/discussions/2013-2015-dsm-delhi-school-of-management-dtu-admission-discussions-25088234/3610644

There's also MBE you can look for. Ask further queries here http://www.pagalguy.com/forums/cat-and-related-bschools/2013-2015-mbe-deptt-t-87328
@avinashkrjha thanks for answering my queries. :)
All the Aspirants -->

The last date to apply for MIB/MHROD is 12th December this time unlike the previous years when it used to be post CAT results.

Last year Cut off --> 93.xx %ile in CAT

All the Best.. !!
