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

@Bibhu2109 92-93+

But then no point in the institute suggestions as of now. The last dates (under CAT) are over except for NITIE, NIRMA and BIMTECH. For others like IMI & IMT (if they reopen applications), IITs, KJSOM, BIM T, Great Lakes, TAPMI, MICA you can wait for CAT results to be announced on Jan 9th. :)

@ajaygovindg I've already applied for IMT-G. And yes, in case IMI reopens, I'll apply. Apart from these, I've applied to LBSIM, FORE, NIBM (under CAT).
@ajaygovindg Just another query: What does one need to have to be at MICA? Because the course is very specific.
@Bibhu2109 You don't need to have anything extra other than a bit of creativity and an interest in marketing, media management, communications etc. And of course you need to get through their test MICAT first!! :mg:
@ajaygovindg But they take CAT scores first, right? How much percentile does one need to be shortlisted for their next exam, MICAT?
@Bibhu2109 They accept CAT, XAT & GMAT. All people who apply are called in for MICAT irrespective of their score in CAT/XAT/GMAT!!

@erpunit21 You don't need to necessarily choose your field/specialization/electives in MBA now itself. You can tell in the PI that you're open to all areas and would like to explore the basics of everything viz. Marketing, Finance, Operations, IT/Systems, HR & Strategy and then by end of 1st year or after Summer Internship decide which area to get into.

Any work experience is good enough. It depends on what what you've learnt or understood int the process and how you put it across in words as to how it will help in your future career. As far as getting into IT is concerned, the slogan in most IT company recruitment is "Trespassers will be recruited"!! :mg: (Although that is a joke said for one leading IT company, its more or less true for all IT firms)

Hi Sir...

I am getting around 105 in SNAP..I have applied to SIIB,SIBM-Pune.SCMHRD...Could you please let me know if SIIB is a good choice for Aspirants with Work Ex close to 2 years...or should I try another year for better B-Schools..

@arun2012

If doing MBA is not a compulsion and you can wait for another year, I would personally suggest you not to go beyond SIBM and SCMHRD.

All the Best buddy.. :)
@avinashkrjha my attemps in cat 2012- quant- 14(6 right & 8 wrong).. verbal-26(20 right & 6 wrong),,.. plzzz suggest an estimated percentile of mine?? which clg i can apply by my scores?? plz suggest........../
@fazer55

To be frank, because of not so good accuracy, %ile could be very less (

Don't get demotivated and focus on XAT. Get back on this thread after CAT Results. All the Best.. !!
@fazer55 Hope you don't mind if I answer. 😃 You can expect around 80%tile (if normalization favors) but then your sectionals will be very skewed!!

Consider applying to NIRMA, BIMTECH as of now. Do further research on them before you apply.

For other options get back on this thread after CAT results are announced.

Focus on XAT prep and giving a good exam there as of now. Do keep a tab on your accuracy!! Also if MBA is not a compulsion this year, you may want to think of attempting again next year also!!
@ajaygovindg thankss a lot sir, can i apply to xime & christ bangalore through cat by this score?? what will be the cutt off in both the colleges??
@fazer55 Yep I think so. But then better wait for CAT results to be announced. AFAIK the deadlines for both are well after CAT results are announced!!

XIME - 28th Feb 2013
Christ - 22nd Jan 2013

@visionIIM-ACL - I want to pursue an MBA degree in Decision support System or Strategic Planning .. So my question is there any specific colleges that facilitate this or does it come under any course content ..or anything else ?
Pls clarify..
Thanks in advance..!!!!
@vip3r You should check out Praxis Business School. I'm not trying to promote my college. It's just that I saw you asking about good colleges in Kolkata. I'm sure that if you ask around you'll find enough info about Praxis. All the best. :D

helloo...m xpecting 50-70%ile in cat xam....in which institutes shud i apply...?..please sugest sm gud institutes....

@ritsgupta Focus on XAT, Feb CMAT as of now, if you're appearing for it. There are some institutes including some in niche areas like SPM Gandhinagar which look at overall profile and give calls. Under CMAT there are some good institutes like KJSOM, GIM etc. So if you're interested you may want to look at those options.

Otherwise, if MBA is not a compulsion this year I would recommend that you try again next year!!
