@ansh12345 bro it is confusing plz helpI m not able to understand the criteria for admissions of IIMs. I have been thru' many pages of last year's admission related queries regarding IIM Indore. Some guys who are getting overall 99.45%ileqa 99%ileva 97%ile10th : 93%12th : 90%do not have a callbut one of my friend who had 94.5%ile last yr had a call and he converted. in 10th he had 90% and in 12th 90%...how is it? i am not able to understand. please clear my doubt. itz confusing.
Your friend must be from one of the reserved categories, i can't find any other reason for him getting a call from an IIM. Check his background once :)

Last year SPM's cut off was around 78%tile,
And I thin you stand some chances proving you get above 80%tile.
K J somaiya's cut off was 80%tile for PGDM IB.

@ansh12345 he is from general category bro....! my uncle's son..!
@sayanfrndz AFAIK, mess fee is usually separate, based on type of food you want (veg/non-veg). Still you can confirm from the specific institute thread that you are looking for.

Hi guys,

Thanks for your wonderful support.

I have applied for SP jain ( not sel in profile based sel), XIMB, IFMR, IMT Ghaziabad..

What colleges i can apply if i get >90 overall, >85 in each section ?

Please provide your suggestions.

Thanks...

@ajaygovindg sir whats your opinion about siib??
i have applied for their flagship course ie international business as well as the relatively new course on energy and environment
i am more interested in the energy and environment program..
@rakesh.p.nair AFAIK, it is the 3rd best institute under SNAP after SIBM Pune and SCMHRD. But overall compared to other institutes under CAT, XAT etc. I am not sure where they stand. In 2012 PG rankings, which is perception based, they are at 30th position. In other rankings also I think they should be there in the top 50 in the country. For specific info on placements, academics, infrastructure, faculty, exposure etc. it will be better to ask seniors in the institute help desk thread here in PG.
@ajaygovindg For 3 years or 3 to 4 years exp guys also placement is difficult in the college during Mba???SHould we go go for 1 year Mba...???

@ajaygovindg


How is BIMMTEC?

I am a guy with 2 years work ex. Expecting around 80 to 95 percentile.
@Rockyan

If doing MBA is not a compulsion, then I won't recommend.
@erpunit21 I personally wouldn't recommend doing MBA from a Tier II institute for anyone with 3+ years work exp. Only from top 20 institutes. Others may disagree. Maybe @abhimukh19 can also add on his views. :)
@Madurai_Maka

For a %ile of more than 90, you can apply to

KJ-SOM
TAPMI
BIM-T
IMI Delhi (Might Re-Open)
Few IIT's (If you get 95+)

For IIM's, you need 97+
@Madurai_Maka You need not post twice if you want to add on something to your post. Hover your mouse over top right corner of your post and you'll get option to edit it! :)

Regarding your query, avinash has answered it above! :)
@ajaygovindg and avinashkrjha : thanks a lot...if i get more than 95 %ile which IITs i shall apply ?
@Madurai_Maka
If 95%tile+
then IIT Roorkee, IIT M, IIT Kanpur and IIT Kharagpur (profile based call though)
If 97%tile+
IIT B
IIT D
