Click on Pagalguy Rankings and then sort according to the locations.

You will get the answer of Top 2, Top 5, Top 10, etc.. !!

@swayambhar dnt kw whear to apply ? even nt clear abut the snap clg bcz this year they will be ging % tiles so dnt kw what dto do?
@kimi21 said:
@avinashkrjha those are tho top one but whats abut the rest snap clg? i just wana be on the safe side?
For back up, you could also apply to SIIB & SIBM-B.

If you want more back up's, you can apply to SITM & SCIT.

For Operations, you can apply to SIOM.

If you still want back up, you can apply to SICSR, SSBM, etc.

SIMS is for those with defence background.

All the Best.. :)

There is nothing to be confused in this. Whether it is %ile or marks, the equation remains the same.

Apply to colleges as per your preparations and expectation level.

Few college have deadlines post Exam, few have post Results. So you can apply accordingly.

Get back in case of further query. All the Best.. :)

I am not sure.

Try checking it on the helpdesk thread of these two colleges if it has been created.

As far as I know, it should be low. SSBM is a very new college. Even SICSR is not among the top one's.
@binny1280 IITs B-schools like VGSoM( IIT Kharagpur), SJMSoM(IIT Mumbai), DMS Delhi, DMS Madras and others offer MBA in Operations.
@chitrartha Traditionally, FMS BHU's placement were mainly driven by PSUs. I'm not sure what was the trend last year. You need to carefully go through their placement report to get more information about their placements.
@akashgupta1987 You've applied to almost all the b-schools which are known for their MBA in HR in India. I would suggest you to add MDI(HR) to the list if the application's deadline is still there. I would personally suggest you to not look beyond these colleges if you sincerely want to get into HR with a good profile at the end of 2 years.

I think many of you are asking the details here about various colleges. It's cut off, placements, fee, how is it.


I suggest you all to put the specific queries like Fee, Intake, etc on the helpdesk threads.

Let me collate some useful links together in this post.

@BRIJESHMISHRA Very tough to say buddy unless we are aware of your attempts. We can at best conjecture basis our experience and projections. As you are now done with CAT, I would request you to move ahead and look out for further exams and give your best shot in them. All the best :)
@sunwinderpal
i m really confused..
my acads
10th : 79.2
12th : 70.8
grad : 65
i m expecting a raw score of 80 - 90 in cat
i have already filled IMI , MDI (is it out of the reach ) , FORE
any more good colleges in this range
i am also going to give XAT
thnx

@pri123yesh456 You have a borderline chance of getting GD-PI call from MDI. Last year cut off was 93.98, and with your raw score of 80-90 you'll hopefully get around 90-95.

You can also consider applying to MIB/MHROD, IMT, MFC/MBE all of which had cut off of 90+ last year. Looking at your current applications, assuming you're looking for institutes in Delhi/NCR region only. Otherwise add KJSOM & XIMB also to that list. Do further research to find out which ones out of these are matching your requirements.

And IF MBA is a compulsion this year, then it is always recommended to apply to some institutes as back-ups also, so you can think of a few of the above.
@ajaygovindg
thnx a lot..
also how is fms bhu and GIM?
should i consider those two as backup?
@pri123yesh456 For the raw score you expect, I believe you should be getting 90-95 %tile (Just a rough estimate), and so FMS-BHU would be very low (in terms of cut off only!) as last year cut off was 83.xx. In that case you can also consider UBS, LBSIM, NIT T also (80-85 cut off's)!!

But then there are some IITs, TAPMI, BIM T etc. also which you can think of applying after CAT results come.

GIM is a very good option under XAT/CMAT. So wait till you attempt XAT/CMAT to decide if it should be backup or main target!! :D
