BIMTECH
IIFM
IMT N

After CAT Results:
XIME
CHRIST
ITM NM

I would suggest you to focus on other exams as well for more options :)
@SgrG Focus on other exams for now, and if MBA is not a compulsion this year, try attempting CAT and other exams next year for better scores and admission in one of the top 40-50 institutes in the country!!
@sam1914 Never heard of this college and I guess this college doesn't even come in top 100 ranking. You could get better B-schools at the percentile which you're expecting.
I guess one of Symbiosis college is only for the dependents of army personnel(probably SIMS). If you've given snap, you can try for that college.

If one has answered 10 questions in each section correct, what do you think his percentile can be? similarly for 15 Q and 20 Q ?

i appeared for cat on 31st oct morning slot

my attempts are as follows:
QA- 17( expecting at least 15 correct)
VA- 27 (expecting around 20 correct)
what percentile i can expect and which b schools should i apply for?
@chaitanyanift 10 correct in each section, but how many attempted?

If its with 100% accuracy, then with 10Q in each section, probably around 60-65 %tile. With 15Q in each section, around 85-90, and with 20Q in each, 99+!!

Your raw score will be around 96 (based on the attempts and accuracy you say), and %tile of 90+ and maybe 95 also, if the devil called NORMALIZATION is tamed! :mg:

@rahulvardhan We're not predicting exact %tiles here buddy. Its just a rough estimate, which can help aspirants choose the institutes to apply. It may or may not be the same and sometimes it may be up to +/- 5 %tile from what we say depending on the slot (day/time), difficulty level & normalization!!!

Anyways, for the attempts & accuracy you say:
1. Around 90%tile
2. Around 95%tile

@ajaygovindg Sir,plz list out the best b-schools for pgdm-finance?
@pranoyhyd If you're sincerely interested in pure Finance profiles post MBA I wouldn't recommend any institute below the top 15!! Finance profiles are rare in colleges in Tier II and below. They hire mostly for Operations and Sales profiles in such B-schools with profiles like Relationship Manager in Banks, Financial Analyst in banks & IT firms etc.

For Finance as a specialization/electives offered IIM-C, SPJIMR, MFC/MBE, IFMR, SRCC GBO, NMIMS (Banking & Capital Markets) are some I know of. But almost all institutes in top 40 have Finance papers as electives in 2nd year.
@ajaygovindg hi ajay...may I dare to ask u something personal...like what was ur specialization...n where r u working currently... :)
@saikatha Everyone here is "daring" to ask whatever questions they have buddy! :mg: So you can also join the crowd and I'll help in whatever ways I can!!

Anyways, like you said, its personal question/discussion. Check your PM! :D
@ibad786 I guess Marketing companies do offer core profiles like Brand Management in the ivy league institutes, but not sure if all are offered the same. I mean there will be few who'll go into Sales only maybe because that's what is offered or because of personal choice. In Tier II institutes AFAIK its mostly Sales, and maybe in some institutes a handful get slightly different profiles. One does not get to be too choosy & particular there. Then again in Sales its not always B2C (business-to-consumer) selling. There are quite a few B2B (business-to-business) Sales profiles also offered. You can check with seniors at individual institute on what/how it is exactly.
@ibad786 I guess its Brand Manager or Product Manager.
