@abhimukh19 Top 40??? where do i find ranking that is reliable??
Not any ranking as such .. but mostly top 20 govt colleges and top 20 private constitute top 40 for me (including IIMs)

check out PG ranking or time ranking or Cl ranking .. check which colleges consistently appear on top 40

Check those rankings where all colleges are present and ranking methodology is clearly defined :)

@abhimukh19 please tell me whether studying at IBS pune will pose any problem in future as its not aicte approved...also how do u rate this college and what r the institutes comparable to it?
I am sorry i wont recommend any colleges which i would never take an admission to :)

Try for top 40 buddy .. India is a harsh country to get good jobs post an MBA from wrong place :)
@dumb4cat said:
@abhimukh19 i agree with you, but all of us are not as talented as you and making it to top 40 is real diff for us, so what are the other options?, i did not choose IBS HYD because of its high fees, thats why i thgt of IBS pune (the next best option) ..please give me some suggestion beyond rank 40.
Hi Buddy ,

its not about talent , its about hardwork .. I am sure you are very talented :)

I can also recommend new courses/colleges by established colleges like

IMT-Nagpur, HYD ,
NM - Bangalore , Hyd,
IMI,: Bhuv, Kolkata
Greatlakes: Gurgaon
SIBM : Bangalore
Wellingkar : Bangalore
which i am sure will come up well in future years

@avinashkrjha and @ajaygovindg can suggest better :)

Hello brother,

Hi,I have given my gmat, now I was looking to apply to b-schools, could you suggest me some b-schools gud enough for my score and good schools as well, and if I can get a scholarship
my profile is as follows;
Working as HVAC Engineer in Kuwait
GMAT - 630
CGPA - 6.69/10 in Mech. Eng. from BITS Dubai
School - X - 82% XII - 82%
EC's - Have been an integral part of sports and cultural organizing committees throughout, in my office have been a part of the cricket team and played in 2 intra-company football tournaments.
I dont want to do it from MENA region, as job placements are a main concern for me. So my focus is on 2 things 1 it should be somewhere between 25-35 lakhs and decent chance of job palacement. It would be very helpful if you could advice me.

your range is very high 25%tile is like 50k people

IMT , IMI , Fore , KJ , GIM, TAPMI, BIM Trichy
@akki2711 - u can surely expect around 90%tile. Except XIMB(pgdm) u can expect call from every other college on ur list.
With 103, u'l get a call from all the 3 scmhrd, siib n siom.

U decided yet wt u want to specialize in..?
@sayanfrndz - u can expect around 85%tile. Go for FORE, LBSIM, nirma, K J somaiya (IB), IFMR, GLIM, We- school..
@shek90 yep...marketting...i dont have ny attraction towards finance...I also prefer hr..and being an engg. operations..too...wat wud u suggest according to u wud be the best college to persue..?? also i filled ximb pgdm and pgdm-rm thru' cat and pgdm hrm thru' xat..so wat can be xpected?
@akki2711 If that is so, then i'd prefer u to remove IIFM (niche course), Nirma & IFMR(both good for finance) from ur list.
@akki2711 - cant comment on xat as of now. But 85%tile+ with va- 80+ & quant- 75+ in cat will fetch u a call for pgdm(hr)..
@shek90 cool thnx a ton...also is iifm good? coz i also prefer forest management...interested in that forest too..help
@akki2711 IIFM is like no other management course. Exceptionally good, highly recognized.
Just that u should have an inclination towards forest management.

PS- u r most welcome..:) ATB
@shek90 have complete inclination towards forest n rural too..irma's result overall clered but quant's section cutoff messsed up..but ximb's rm is still open...n iifm too...!! wat about placements of iifm? is it really 100% with avg salary around 7..?? and job satisfaction after dat??
