[2023] Which B-Schools should you apply to?

@poorme said: @avinashkrjha @visionIIM-ACL : thanks a lot for the prompt reply ! beggars cannot be choosers vision sir : isliye applying to irma and mica i want a colg with a decent name isliye added up these 2 too.. incase aur koi naam hai in this list do let me know avinash sir : naa, dint apply for cmat, r there gud colgs there ? aur aapne GIM mention nahi kiya ? and wat about IMI?
No one is beggar unless one decides to be! 😃
Hard work will never let you down !!

Also, MBA is not just about getting into a college, its about building a career and just because of some reasons, you get into a college meant for niche domains but without much interest in those domains, you will have to suffer throughout! So, it's always better to suffer in short run to have a happier and successful run in long term! 😃

In addition, dont go by websites that claim average to be 8+, quite a few have had much lower than 8 which is quoted on their websites. That's why apply only to limited colleges and dont be in haste while accepting the offer.

Cheers!

just a little tweak in what brooklyn has already said.
Get 99+ and take care of the sectionals, you'll get a CALL from IIM-A :D

1. FMS Cut Off last yr : 98.73 %ile

2. Seeing your Mock Percentile, you can expect to score 99+ in CAT. Keep the performance going. ATB.

3. There is no change in the criteria. It is the same for IIM-A. But it was probably less than 27. Check it once again on the site.

1. V.Good Academic Record.

2. Keep improving your mock scores.

3. CAT is a test of nerves. You can get anything from 90 to 99.99 on the D-Day. So have a positive attitude and give your best. Keep practising. All the Best.

Getting 92-95%ile in AIMCATS...Can anyone tell me which colleges should I go for???
Also can anyone give me a list of top 45 colleges which have cutoffs between 90-98%ile??

@BABA_Pencho said:

I think the average wages that @avinashkrjha has mentioned are a little on the higher side (at least for HR they definitely are). But that usually is the case with most of the B-Schools these days and I don't blame him for that.

In case of IMI, let me tag along a few esteemed alumnus who will be more than happy to help you here. @abhimukh19 and @curtz-imi

Please check this link I have given firm wise CTCs

I think average shown is fine .. rest i agree with Baba_pencho on the EMI and Standard of Living Cost etc but those colleges which claim 11 , 12 , 13 should know that IIM A is itself averaging around 13+ .. and those which claim 6,7 are in the red zone ;)

So who knows whats the exact placement figure for which college? how would you believe them?

You need to analyse your Mock Performance thoroughly and extensively.

Identify those questions where you go wrong frequently. Work on them. I am sure you will improve.

And then CAT is just like a T20. Anything can happen. So don't get bogged down with what happened last year or in mocks. Put in your best efforts and give your best on D-Day. ATB.. !!

@Brooklyn u r far better off than most.....

1. Decent academic record

2. Aimcat Scores are good. Try to maintain it or even further enhance it. You can def expect to score anything above 97%ile.

3. Apply to all colleges with Cut Off %ile of more than 90.

4. For cut off's, Refer ---> http://www.pagalguy.com/forums/cat-and-related-bschools/2012-which-b-schools-should-you-apply-t-83927/p-3594168/r-3607915

5. ATB.. !!
