Hi All,

Are the dates for SNAP out...when will the form filling start?
I am taking all the entrances for the first time. Please help.
Thanks.
@kanix said: Hi !I want to know about the PGDISEM course (Environmental Engineering) offered at NITIE, in terms of:Intake.CAT cutoff and selection criteria.Job profiles offered.Fee structure and ROI.Would be really thankful if someone could help me
1. Intake : 39 (including 15 Industry Sponsored Candidates)
2. CAT Cut off : For PGDIM, it is generally 97+. Past trends show that cutoff has always hovered around 97-98.5 percentile. But, to be on safer side, try to get atleast 98+.
Acads and work ex have no role in GDPI calls for PGDIM and PGDITM. Profiles might have some weightage for PGDISEM. So for PGDISEM, one might get a call at a lower %ile as well. For more details, I would suggest you to visit the NITIE Threads.
3. For job profiles and placement details, visit this link : http://nitie.edu/index.php?option=com_content&task;=view&id;=483&Itemid;=253〈=en
4. Fee Structure : 1.5 lacs per year
5. Hope this helps. ATB.. !!

1. Going by what you said, you wish to change your job profile.2. Joining a B-School is probably the solution for that, but be ready to face the rigor.3. You can aim for all the Top B-Schools. Later on based on your options and interests, you can decide which B-School to join.4. Right now focus on maximising your CAT Score and apply to as many good B-Schools as you can.5. Few of the B-Schools which might have it's window open very soon are MDI, SPJAIN, NITIE, IMI, IMT, SIBM-P, XLRI, XIMB, etc.6. For rest, you can decide later on.7. All the Best.. !!
Thanks mate

Hi..I believe one needs to be very practical when it comes at deciding which all exams to appear for. Not only the brand name, placement,etc.; but one needs to select exams based on one's capability. I mean over all these years, I have seen more than 50% of students appearing for tests about which they are infact sure about not getting through.
If you are among those who are keen at making it in this academic session only, then you need to do a self analysis to arrive at 4-5 such tests wherein you make sure of landing up with atleast top 40 or 50 B-Schools of the country under all circumstances.
Hi puys, I am planning to give CAT,XAT and IIFT only. Though my percentiile in TIME AIMCATS fluctuates between 75 and 92 , I don't want to compromise on schools. I want to be in the tier 1 colleges only. I have 2 years of work-ex. Any suggestions as to if I should give more exams or which colleges other than IIMs/XLRI/IIFT/MDI/IIT-B/IIT-D/SPJAIN should I apply to? Also I am eager to know -Where do students scoring an average of 85 percentile in TIME AIMCATs stand in the real CAT?
well this is my first post on pagalguy. my profile is as follows
Xth-89.1%
+2-81.83%
grad(B.E)-65.1%
I am a fresher, I recently finished my engg (last month to be precise) I wanted to know which colleges I can apply to.My aimcat scores well range from 55 to 60 percentile.I plan on answering cat,xat,snap,cmat & nmat.

""""
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""I think few other colleges that you should definitely go for would be XIMB, NITIE, SIBM P, IMI D et al.
Also most of the times there is no direct correlation between your CAT score and AIMCAT scores. Obviously if you keep scoring really good in AIMCATs it gives you confidence but if you are not scoring well in AIMCATs doesnt mean that you will score badly in actual CAT. I would suggest that just keep hanging in there and keep working hard, work on your concepts, keep reading a lot for your verbal section, improve your vocab and am sure rest of the things would automatically fall in place.
Cheers!! All the best !!
has nebody taken the photo of bschool list n cutoffs uploaded by T.I.M.E recently in their library..?
I think there are plenty of options for someone who wants to join after a decent work experience. Starting from SPJain, Narsee Monjee, ISB (HYD), Great Lakes (Chennai), etc. Also, i would like to recommend SOIL as in School of Inspired Leadership (Gurgaon) but there session is already half way through and admissions would only open later (for the next session).

@visionIIM-ACL said:Hi AllWith the season 2012 getting closer to the months which are going to be full of applications for different exams, coveted B-Schools and lot of ups and downs, we are back with the thread which has been amongst the most helpful threads for the aspirants.Here, we help each other to take informed decisions about the B-Schools we wish to apply. It is very important to know how/when/why to apply to B-Schools because many a times candidates have a bad day on the exam day and he cant apply to schools after the results are out and later realize that he missed applying to institutes which were in his range.Link to last year's thread : pagalguy.com/forums/cat-and-re...Here, goes my 2 cents on this :
While applying for any b-school , just don't make its placement as criteria. However, this does not mean that you apply in any b-school.ROI is a matter of concern . But , ROI does not refer to immediate placements which we get from campus. ROI refers to the value addition in long term , which a college provides you. 4-5 years down the line , there are people working at same profiles despite graduating from differently ranked b-schools which provided them different packages.
Those worried about Acads while applying:
- Do not bother much about acads at this stage since acads is past and cannot be changed. What you can do now is focus on preparation and score as high as possible to strengthen your chances of getting the call.
- Acads can be a constraint to get calls from 3-4 B-Schools but a high score will ensure that you get calls from all other B-Schools. So, do not let constraint of 3-4 B-Schools bother you so much that your chances get spoiled for other B-Schools as well.
Worried about Specialization?
There are many people who are not clear about the specialization . It is always better if we do introspection before deciding to apply for a b-school. There are few b-schools which provide excellent opportunities in finance , others in marketing and likewise... So, we can select a b-school in alignment with the specialization we intend to make our career in.One thing more which i have noticed. People select even specializations on the basis of packages they will get from college . It is not the right way. Read books , articles , consult seniors to get idea about specializations and try to find area which attracts you . You can enjoy your job only when you love what you are doing and not when you are forced to love something. And once , you start loving your job, career growth and money comes automatically .
Few major pointers on the factors which play a crucial role in deciding where all to apply 1. How desperate or keen am I to do an MBA in this particular academic season? 2. Have I set goals and target colleges for myself? 3. Will I settle for a certain college eventhough I might want to go some place better? 4. How many colleges should I be ideally applying for and what have I allocated as budgetary expenditure for the application process? 5. Why do I really want to do an MBA? 6. What are my expectations from the B-School to which I am applying ? I would like to clarify that this thread doesn't encourage comparison of B-Schools.Moreover B schoolers and Alumni are requested to be unbiased in their feedback of B schools.Placement figures are something that doesnt fall under discussions of this thread,however B schoolers and Alumni can give a small overview of the overall placement scene in the college. Also, if any B-Schooler is found to be indirectly/directly promoting his/her B-School, the concerned post shall be deleted as soon as possible.
However, if you are still wondering Why MBA afterall , then do check out this thread pagalguy.com/forums/career-dis...
All the best to all, let the discussions begin
Cheers,
Varun

College which will have last date even before the CAT Exam starts are : MDI Gudgao4. Few colleges have last date either during the CAT Window or at the end of CAT Window. Some of them are : SPJAIN, NITIE, Fore, MFC/MBE, etc5. Few colleges have last date for registration before the CAT Exam or during the CAT Window, but over the last 1 or 2 years, they have been extending the deadlines till few days after CAT Results. e.g IMT6. Few colleges have last date after CAT Results. Some of them are : IIT's, Tapmi, NIT's, MIB/MHROD, IFMR, LIBA, XIME, etc.7. Keep following this thread. You will get to know all about dates.

1. I would suggest you to put in more efforts now and try to score more. Analyse your mock performances. Identify your weak areas and work on them. If you are able to score more than 90%ile in CAT, you will have a bigger pool of colleges to apply.
2. There are many colleges who have deadlines for application Post Cat Results. So you can target those colleges.
3. Right now, you can plan to apply to the following colleges : IMT, FMS (BHU), LBS, Fore, etc.
4. Through XAT : GIM, XIME
5. Through SNAP : SIIB, SIBM-B
6. Through CMAT : GIM
7. Keep following this thread. ATB.. !!

1. If you are scoring an average of 85%ile in AIMCATS, you can end up scoring anything from 80 to 99.xx %ile in the real CAT. It all depends on that day.
2. Apart from the colleges you mentioned, you can also apply to : XIMB, NMIMS, JBIMS.. !!

@Mohan.Ayyappan said: Hi. This is my 3rd CAT. Last time scored 90%le, and my acads are X - 89 % XII - 91 % and GRAD - 79. Work Exp. 22 months is Toyota. Interested in Finance and Operations. will be writing CAT and XAT. Applying for SPJAIN, MDI, NITIE ..
I would also suggest that you take CMAT because many leading B-schools like JBIMS, which are famous for finance, are admitting students through it. You can also check out NMIMS as it is very renowned for finance.

Chitresh you have got pretty decent acads.
Try to improve your mock scores, because that will give you confidence going into actual CAT. But even if you are not able to dont get disheartened as actual CAT is a different ball game altogether. Anything can happen on that day.
As far as colleges are concerned looking at your scores you should go for colleges that take percentiles in the range of 85 to 95.
Also fill XAT and SNAP because that will open up your options and there are very good colleges that take XAT and SNAP scores.
