what is the procedure for verification of OBC category. I have the central certificate issued in January 2016. What else do they need? Any more documents? My father is retired state govt employee and has total pension of 3.42 lac.

hello friends!!!

I'll be appearing for cat 2016 but had some doubts whether I fall in nc-obc or not.

my parents are in delhi police (i  dont know about their class but dad is Head constable and mom is sub inspector promoted to this rank after 40 yrs of age).

the total income is close to 10 lacs.

Is it advisable to take up fms or IIM lucknow for finance or try for ABC next year (rejected by C already for unknown reason)? I am a fresher and a CA + CMA and this was my third attempt in CAT. Do we see inferiority complex in students of lucknow or fms if they are put side by side with ABC? And is campus life (fun, competition and stuff) overall worse than that of ABC?

  • Take up FMS or IIM Lucknow because it woukdn’t make much of a difference (explain difference in comment please)
  • Try for ABC because they have a lot better campus life
  • Try for ABC because they have a lot better social status
  • Try for ABC because they offer a lot better profiles, campus life and superior social status
  • Try for ABC because they have a lot better profiles

Class 10 - 90%, Class 12 -91.2% , B.Tech- 82% from Nit Warangal, work ex- 20 months in an investment bank till date. What percentile would I need to get calls from the best iims and fms?

Anyone 96+ with good interview and not even waitlisted in fms

I have a general doubt after mba during placements will the company check feedback about us from previous employers, worked before mba?

I assume we still do not have a definitive knowledge on the number of buffer calls given out this year for IIMC. I have seen people saying Yes and No based on the responses they have received from the AO. How do you think is the presence of buffer calls going to affect the movement of NC OBC waitlist? Thanks

I have converted IIMA(FABM) and waiting for LKI results. i am from mechanical background. In the worst scenario is it worth joining FABM?
