IIM Ahmedabad - Indian Institute of Management

It would violate the privacy of the candidates and it would not be representative of the situation. As CAT is held in different slots and with different difficulty level. Unless normalized, stand alone scores would mean very little. Hence they publish only normalized rank and percentile (which is rank of candidates).

yup u get call if you score cat % above 95%

It totally depends on your preference and what you want to do in your life. For example, marketing and at times finance companies look to hire freshers or students with relevant experience. Consulting and general management firms typically hire people with some experience. Also if you work for a couple of years, you get some insights into corporate world and hence are better placed to make decisions regarding your career. keeping these things in mind you should decide when you want to pursue your MBA. Either way you are not disadvantaged to get an admission in IIMs.

With less than 60% in graduation, many colleges would not consider you for admission. However there are special cases that you can look for. A few b-schools accept students based on their profile (mostly work-experience). You can look at that. Also IIMs offer interview call to everyone who secures a rank of less than 100 in CAT (irrespective of previous performance). You can look at these options.

Yes, you can expect a call from IIMs. You will have to secure a good percentile. Eligibility criteria for the IIMs is that you need to have at least 60% in 10th,12th and graduation. On top of this, you will have to clear CAT cutoff (and at times a composite score ). CAT cutoff usually goes as high as 99.5 percentile. Hence, I would suggest that you do really well in CAT.

No with 53% in BBA, you can not apply for CAT. To get an admission from IIMs, you need to secure at least 60% in your graduation. However if you secure a rank of less than 100 in country, you will receive a call.

I don't think you would get good college with this percentile. I would suggest that you prepare well and write it once more. But to answer your question, IIT Madras, TA Pai, XIME Bangalore, etc. accept MAT score. Also if you are writing MAT, i would suggest that you write CAT as well. There are better colleges enrolled with CAT.

If you have just completed class 10th then it is too early to think of an MBA. I would suggest that you focus on your academics now and get good grades in both class 12th and graduation. Most MBA colleges give a lot of weightage to past academic performance. Hence for now focus on that.

Satyam, by your hard work you can crack exams like CAT. If you score really well in CAT, you can get admission into the best Management institutes which have great placement records.
