[2023] Which B-Schools should you apply to?

@dhruvwali said:
Also are many people who give CAT from the telecom sector? Meaning is it a mainstream sector like IT ..or is it like civil/mbbs which is a niche sector comparitively..Im working in Ericsson Global(Telecom services).. Any edge here? :-P
There are not many from telecom sector as far as I know.. !!

my records:
class 10: 76.3%
class 12: 83.4%
grad: 53.5%
gave cat (2012) for the 1st time and expecting around 70 to 80 percentile
no work exp

preferred location delhi (open for metro cities in india)
i am confused . please help me to choose the colleges i am eligible for.

@pr88 Agreed its going to be hectic. But then that is because most of the people are engineers, and engineers have this habit of keeping everything till last moment and build the pressure!! They somehow can't survive without the pressure factor!! Anyways, if you're systematic, diligent and consistent in your work you can very well afford 6-7 hours of sleep except for those odd days near exams, for some submissions etc. when you'll have to sit up bit late till around 1-2AM. I know people who have passed MBA in flying colors with decent placements with a habit of sleeping at 12 at night and waking up at around 6-7AM in the morning. So its all up to you, how you manage your available time (time when you're awake). In my opinion, you'll also get time for other things, I mean extra-curricular etc. Again the mantra will be TIME MANAGEMENT.
Sir, thanks a lot for all the advice. Am an engineer too! but i dont plan on delaying or putting off things for later. So does this mean i can apply to top B-schools too and not hold back? cos i was told even if you as an individual work hard, since MBA involves a lot of team work if my team members are such that they want to delay things and work from mid night to 2 AM then i am left with no option right?also i am told that many times profs choose the teams and we dont have the freedom so that further adds to my problem where i may land up in a group where the group members do not understand my condition or are not willing to co-operate! Please clarify!!
@eshitaa i can say tht u r nt eligible for the iims

As of now, wait for CAT Results and get back on this thread after that.

Also, focus on other exams now. Like XAT, SNAP, CMAT, etc.

All the Best.. :)

@gddg : summer placements will begin in the month of January 2013...a high score is definitely preferable for those having less work ex and moderate profile... The duration of the course is 2 years...

@sanyasi : Make your research about the college. Try to find out everything about the college. Placements, Faculty, Infra, Alumni Base, etc. After that, apply to the college if it meets your expectation level.

All the Best. Get back in case of any specific query with respect to any college.
