Sitting idle... need advice? What to do in current situation!

Pretty strong chances of getting calls from IIMs if you score well. 😃

Also, apart from colleges like SPJain whic consider overall profile , you have strong chances of getting calls from other top B-Schools. 😃

All the best!

But sir, dont u think dismal low score of 78% can ruin my party?????

My queries are unanswered since 6-7 days.:-(

You should join Infy and prepare side by side dont see any problem in your profile since people score pretty well in 8th sem so there is every chance you would improve your percentage and your profile is pretty good so if you could perform well in CAT you surely would get calls from IIMs so just continue preparing and try to get a good score in CAT 12 and ATB

For preparing for cat and getting into top 30 , can a correspondence graduate make a mark or is it eligible?

Puys is there a thread where we can see all listed b schools with there written exam cut off and average 10,12, grad marks...

This way it will become easy to shortlist!

@Vision IIM-
bUT SIR CAN IT BE THAT MY DISMAL LOW SCORE IN 12TH(7 CAN SPOIL THE PARTY???

There is no definite 10,12 or graduation score that can be considered as the cutoff. It is the cumulative score generally varying with the weightages that colleges give to these scores.

It won't except at very few places 😃 Need not worry and all the best!

Hi ...your academics are good dude....see especially fr engineering grads marketing is quite good ...it depends on personal interests also ....most of the big brands as i have seen engineering+marketing in mba would be the rite option ....so think upon it ....ATB:)
Q1 . In case I join infosys this year and appear for CAT '12 and manage to do fare with the exam then with this sort of profile do I stand any chance of getting calls from renowned institutes of India like IIMs , XLRI , NITIE , FMS , MDI ...??

Q2 . Should i wait for some years to begin my MBA journey in order to obtain some work-ex ..if so then how many years of work ex would suffice ?? Is there anything like that freshers are not preferred over experienced people during placements.?


1. Yes, you do stand a chance of getting calls from all the colleges mentioned by you in case you score well and clear their cutoffs. 😃

2. Well, how much work ex would be appropiate depends on the profiles you are aiming at post MBA. If looking forward to finance or marketing, then no point in increasing your work ex in IT Sector. Get the admission in the season whenever you make to the b-schools you are aiming at.

i gave cat 11 and scored 85 overall.i dont have any job right now and will complete my btech by the end of june 12.i wanna ask that will this gap year and my average academic record thwart my dream of getting into top bschools.


If you get through GDPI shortlists of colleges in upcoming season, then you will be a fresher who has passed in 2012 june, not many months ago and generally joining gets delayed as well. SO, there wont be any issue of year gap in my opinion. If you do not join any job by Feb - Apr 2013, then you can always come up with the justification of dropping the year to prepare for top B-Schools and not interested in the jobs you had in hand.

Also, if finding difficulty in finding a job, post your resume at job portals and you will surely get the response. Make a good CV ( means articulate it well ) before posting.

but till now even after completing M.E i still think i should have done MBA..

1. would it be fine to prepare and apply for mba now?...are there guys who do MBA even after M.E?

2. do colleges accept such guys or it may be a negative point for me during interview time.


1. Yes, there are people who do so. But, you need to come up with the proper justification for the same , if asked the reason in PI.

2. Colleges do accept it , need not worry! 😃 Focus on preparation as of now and get good score to clear the cutoffs and fetch calls from reputed colleges.

1. Yes, very easily 😃

2. Yes, you can get provided you clear their cutoffs in written exam, fetch the call and perform good in GDPI rounds. Only CFA wont ensure you getting into them.

3. Yes, it can be treated as work experience.

Hi all,
I did My grads in 2010, in BBA( Finance) and then joined IFBI for A PG diplma in banking. They had promised to give a job in ICICI in operations with 22k Salary. After completion They placed me in ICICI salt lake (on may 23td , 2011)but what I discovered was it was a hardcore sales job requiring me to sale atleast 2 Accounts and one other product everyday. Besides the salary was just 7500 Rs in training period (which could extend indefinetly at thier discretion). The distance from mt house to work place was roughly 5.5hoirs up and down. I left the job after 2.5 months.(around July end) IFBI did not give me any certificate of the PG diploma. Now I am in a mess coz I have sat for 1 govt exam, got a reasonably good marks but dont know what justification I wl give regarding dis break in interviews. I cannot say "I left the job co its a sales profile and I dint want such profile." Please guys help me frame a good answer and get me out of this problem. Thank You . 😃

In case of family business, ur workex certificate will be certified by ur father, who is the propreitor of the business. So the designation and salary can be anything that he (or you) want to mention. That's insignificant. On a personal note, in such cases, the panel would be more interested in knowing what you have done and learnt rather than the designation or salary u put on the paper.

my query is answered for last many days..

1. Whether your bank work-ex will count towards work ex- Yes! the criteria for admission to foreign MBA programs is 2 years work ex. They donot discriminate on basis of line on work ex but rather on basis of quality, so anyone who can show to the selection board that he or she has good quality work-ex in relevant field will have a chance to gain admission.
2. Regarding poor acads- poor acads don't reflect good on a c.v however this can be overcome by showing that after that you have been able to fulfill what is required of you to the best of your ability, in the work that has been given to you in your professional field.
As I can see only your 12th percentage is lower than average, you should make this up by excelling at your job and overshadow it.
Best of luck!

thanksss alot buddy..
