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

@grv11 said:
i got 86 %ile in cat.. class 10 - 92 % 12- 90 % grads 66 % (b.tech) what colleges should i apply ..pl suggest
BIM T, LIBA (last year cutoff was 86.xx & 86 respectively & it may go up/down this time. So borderline chance I would say)

TAPMI (everyone called for GDPI so final convert will have weightage on CAT score and also depend on other factors also)

MICA (if interested in Media Management, Advertising etc.)

If MBA is not a compulsion this year, you can also try for CAT '13 and other exams next year to target institutes like XLRI, FMS, MDI, NITIE, XLRI, IIFT, JBIMS, TISS, NMIMS, SIBM, SCMHRD, MICA, IRMA etc. which has less weightage on past acads!!

I honestly would recommend that you try GMAT and go for the likes of ISB next year!! Your acads are MIND BLOWING and out of this world, and with some more work exp (5yrs+) you can try for 1yr programs at IIMs, XLRI, SPJAIN etc. to get a BIG boost in your salary as well as profile!! Hope that helps! All the Best! :cheerio:

Being a female candidate, if you can give some plausible reason like you were searching for some job or to practice etc. the gap shouldn't be a big problem.

Sorry if I sounded rude in previous post, but your profile & score is seriously very good to get calls from IIMs like L, I, K and of course new IIMs. Maybe A, B & C also considering diversity factor if CAT score is not a deterrent!! Did you check shortlist for IIM-S? Just wait for few days for the shortlists to come.

Hope you have applied to institutes like FMS, MDI, SPJAIN where you'll definitely get calls!

CAT score

OA-91.76%ile

Can you please suggest which colleges shall i apply from IMI and IMT G.I am very much confused as i want to get my degree from a good college which stands out from the rest ,not like IIM but better than many others.
I want to pursue Marketing or Finance or Operations anything but HR.So please help me as i am ready to compromise college brand a bit but not much



@angelos Comparison of B-Schools is not allowed in this forum!! Both are equally good brands for an MBA. PM some current students to collect facts & information for each institute and then depending on your expectations from/in MBA decide for yourself!!

OA= 99.16
QA = 96.63
VA= 99.12
10th =86.61
12th =89.81
grad= 73.1
category= general
whc IIM calls shud i expect???

OA=87.97

QA=80.5X
VA=90.5X
10th=76.7
12th=83.7
B.Com (H) (Cal Univ)=60.75
Category=General
Extra Curriculars= I have been part of an NGO for 3 years (but I did not accept a salary)

Which colleges should I apply to? And what colleges can I expect a call from? I want to study marketing, advertising, etc.

Please do reply :)

@avinashkrjha Thank you for your reply. I have applied to MDI, IMT G, IMT N, IMI D, TAPMI, MICA.
@rockways

You have chances at IMT N, IMI (If you have applied to HR, PGDM is a bit difficult), TAPMI.

For MICA, you need to give MICAT as well.

Almost Nil Chance from MDI and IMT G.
