Hi Prateek, based on your CAT score and previous year cutoff of LIBA the chances of getting a call is slim.

In marketing, you will mostly get sales profile. Welingkar charges 11 lakhs and its average ROI is 6.5-7.5 lakhs. BIMM charges 6.5 lakhs and its ROI is 6-6.5 lakhs. However, both the institutes are well known brands in the corporate world.
I would suggest you to go with BIMM as its hectic schedule will train you for corporate world and you will never feel the pressure of survival in the market.
