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

You can expect anything beyond 97 %ileApply toNITIEFMSSPJAINIMTXIMBAfter Results --> IIT'sFew Back up's --> TAPMI, KJ-SOM, BIM-T, etc.. !!Through XAT --> XL, XIMB, GIMThrough SNAP --> SIBM, SCMHRDYes, it should def count as one of your achievements (SSB).. !!
@avinashkrjha @Red_Bull and for those whoever can add to over come my anxiety . Please reply,

Initially I thought I do not want to write XAT as I am not looking for XL (I am not into HR) and XIMB(not into bhubhaneswar 😉 ) (I am kind of too specific about things I do not want, bt not abt wat I want 😲 😞 ) and GIM is not in my books. But now, that I have quit my job (multiple reasons for resigning), and I am sort of tensed abt the CAT results, i am feeling like to apply for XAT. The institute in my list which takes XAT is only TAPMI, which also takes CAT score, so is it worth to write XAT only for the sake of TAPMI and I am tensed abt CAT. On the other hand I will be giving CMAT in Feb (for GIM, I think this would be fine) and SNAP in Dec.


Any suggestions???? Plzzzz

Thanks,
Praveen
@ethanhunt1230 Whoever told you XL is about HR! XLRI also has a Business Management course which is general MBA with all specializations/electives in 2nd year.

There are many institutes which accept XAT score like XIMB, GIM, TAPMI, SPJIMR, Great Lakes, LIBA, Praxis, XIME and many others. So you may want to look into them.
@ansh12345 Should we send the confirmation page ?

IILM G has a high fees hence poor ROI and other also are not worth applying so you try giving other exams like XAT, CMAT FEB for more better options or even try CAT 13 next year :)
@Aaran For B Schools under MAT continue in one of the below threads:

Yes I know of XL's other offerings yet. HR is the flagship for it, hence I mentioned it. Anyways reasons for SPJIMR, XIMB, GIM and TAPMI , I have mentioned the points in my post. 😞 😃 (mixed things) . Great Lakes I heard only exec program is good (lets not go with only brand name 😃 ). LIBA- Nope, Praxis- never heard, XIME- Nope. No Offence for these institutes. And placements are the prime factor for me, secondly I wish to push as much as possible towards "foreign" placements. Else I would have applied for TISS. I am not here to throw away laks of rupees and say "I am here to learn, contribute to society, uplift community blah blah, nope not at all". Yes, when I create wealth for me I wish to create wealth for society too. I think I had posted previously saying money is being my main motive (no Hippocratic stance). And I will be going with this attitude to my PIs, I do not mind getting rejected by ten institutes if the interviewer has problem with this. So for a guy with this attitude I need some solid suggestions based you guys experience.

Thank you. :)
@ethanhunt1230 Only top 15 B Schools in the country if they give you an admission. i.e. considering the foreign placements and high salary packages!!

hai....my CAT was on Nov. 3 morning slot(really tough slot...friends also felt the same)..my attempts were
1st sec. 13(11 certainly correct)
2nd sec.21(19 ok).
can anyone project my percentile....and is it worth to apply to IMT,Welinkar,FMS,Mudra and LIBA....pls help me with your suggestions..

@jinssbox :

Going by last year's trend and the Attempts and accuracy that you have mentioned, you can expect somewhere near 90%ile.

You can consider applying to -->

IMT
FORE
LBS
NIRMA
FMS-BHU

Few options can be explored after CAT Results. Get back on this thread after your CAT Results. All the Best.. :)
