CAT

With a 68 percentile in CAT, getting into one of the new IIMs (like IIM Kashipur, IIM Rohtak, IIM Trichy, etc.) could be challenging, even under the OBC category. While new IIMs generally have slightly lower cut-offs compared to the older ones, they still maintain high academic and professional standards. A 68 percentile might not meet the required cut-offs for these institutes. However, it's worth checking the exact cut-off trends for the specific IIMs you are interested in, as they may vary each year. You can also explore other options like private B-schools and top-tier PGDM institutes, where your percentile might be more competitive.

With a CAT percentile of 44.28, getting into top-tier B-schools may be tough, but there are still good options available. You can consider institutes like IMS Noida, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Amity Business School, ITM Navi Mumbai, and LPU Punjab. Other options include Welingkar Institute, BIMTECH, and Shiv Nadar University, which have solid MBA programs. Ramaiah Institute of Management, K.J. Somaiya, and VIT Business School are also worth looking into. While these schools may have a slightly lower cut-off, factors like your academic record and work experience could improve your chances. Make sure to check each institute's eligibility criteria and admission process to find the best fit for you.
