Hi friends,

I am planning to attend CAT for the 1st time in NOV 09. Now I am a Software engineer with work experience of 36 months. My current pay is around 7.5 lakhs per annum.
I am working with a very prestigious european investment bank for last 7 months (amongst top 3 in europe). I am completely bored with IT job.So now seriously want to change my job profile and want to do MBA by this year itself. I am looking for a more functional role (BA/Senior BA), am really pissed with ma present role.

Following is my profile.
Academic Profile:

10th - 70%
12th - 58%
B.E(IT) - 65% (from non IIT / NIT , but amongst top 5 colleges in state)

Got many prizes in my previous job. Certificates in technical competencies (oracle,microsoft).

Work Profile:
1st company - 12 months (start up company)
2nd company - 17 months (tier 2 IT company)
3rd company - 7 months (amongst top 3 investment banks in europe , overall 15 globally)

Started my Cat prep by April. I am strong in VA. So working hard in Quants and DI.

I am preparing for GMAT as well , keeping ISB in mind. Am skeptical , whether with my profile I will get a call from ISB , I have seen ma seniors being ignored from ISB. Have I got any chances for ISB?

Please let me know what all entrance exams I can take. (The List I find make my head spin) and wat all institutes I can apply. Previously I was only intrested in top notch b schools such as iim, mdi, spjain , fms etc. But since I can attempt only this year due to personal reasons plz let me know the institutes which are good and offers placements
, a decent package (around 15 lakhs pa + bonus / variable, I guess if I continue with my job I would be earning more than 10 lakhs pa. in the next 2 years).

Please put urself in my shoes and help me in applying for all the apt institutes so that I won’t regret my decision after two years.

Thanks in advance!
