@supreetkini said:@avinashkrjha@ajaygovindg Would like to listen to your thoughts as well on this!
Confused? Is MBA such a big compulsion this year that you're willing to do it from anywhere they give a PG degree?!!! 
Also, quite a long list and a busy time you're going to have running around giving GDPI's, and you MAY have to skip few also if you apply in such a frenzy because the GDPI dates may clash!!
No offence meant against you or any of those institutes. But you look like desperate to do an MBA! Hope you have defined your expectations from MBA and also done your research on prospects after MBA?

@jitrana said:@ajaygovindg Is IIWSBM good enough to consider. I have meagre 77 in CAT and 23 mnths work-exp. Their roi is fair enough it seems. Other calls are awaited, and i m from west bengal. Pls give ur discerned opinion. TIA.
Like I keep saying here and other places also in the forum, whether an institute is good/bad is something you'll have to define for yourself depending on your expectations from MBA. Having not been there, and not knowing how things are there its not right on my part to comment on it. Perceptions are mostly subjective, biased and based on what one hears from very few people!! Also even if I have inside information, what's good/bad for me MAY not be so for you!
Sorry for the long speech, but what I can tell you is if MBA is not a compulsion this year you can try another time next year. You have a job in hand, continue in that and prepare for CAT '13 and other exams to target better institutes.
@ajaygovindg Yes, there are some reasons I intend to pursue my MBA this year itself.
Yes, but that's just a list. My initial idea was to apply to 9-10 institutes, 4 my dream b-schools, 3-4 my second preference, and 2 as backup. I am not sure how many institutes people usually apply to. Could you give me a general estimate. Am I doing it wrong. Hence, need your help/guidance in selection.
Like you said, no, I am not willing to do from anywhere they give a PG degree. Like anyone else here, I want to do it from a good institute.
MBA would give me much more diverse profile, than what I already have, a step up from being a 'software developer', and am interested in landing a Presales/Sales or maybe even 'Project Management' role. I also have entrepreneurship plans somewhere down the line, not necessarily in IT.

Make sure you do some proper background study on the kind of profiles offered in the institutes you are targeting. PreSales/Sales is something you may easily get, but Project Management (in which I guess you're thinking of yourself as a manager managing people), I doubt it.
There is no specific number that people apply to. I was just mentioning because if you have too many in your plate you may end up losing the application fee because there will be clashes in GDPI dates.
@babanRC said:can nyone tell me y b school cut offs are falling dis year?
It has been falling since last many years! Many reasons attributed to it. Decrease in number of CAT takers, hike in MBA fees and increase in number of people going for reattempt and hence lesser applicant pool with B-Schools, many new B-Schools coming up (including new IIMs), institutes like FMS, IITs coming under CAT and many other reasons.
@ajaygovindg Most of your posts/reply are very educative and valuable. But as regards to knowing the profiles offered at B Schools, the fact is we as aspirants are for a greater part oblivious to even the 'names' of at least a dozen such profiles and that too in different domains, and what such profiles entails in the short run and the long term.
I for one, been as a project engineer at Wipro for 2 years, been onsite, worked at 3 different locations in India, (with 300 different TYPES of people!!), did coding, testing, writing test cases, giving training on specific modules to people 1.5 times my age and 15 times my experience, edited excel sheet, made ppt, sat idle and worked late-night too. If a pawn-shaped profile of project-engineer entails such varied (and peculiar) attributes and responsibilities imagine our plight in gauging the horizons of 'bigger' and more complex post MBA profiles.

Yes, I understand that confusion, and I myself was in your same situation few years ago thinking of so many things from an MBA. Not that I'm dejected or unhappy with my decision. Just that my expectations were wrong. Got it corrected after experiencing 1st year of MBA. People jump into MBA thinking of it as shortcut to fat salary packages, cushioned seats and what not. Well all I can say is MBA is hyped and post MBA life is over hyped!! Do an MBA from top 20 B-Schools and you probably may get all that you're thinking of as of now. But otherwise, it is just these deadly & good to hear designations you get and you almost start where you stopped before MBA!! At the lowest level, with no one to "order" around (read not a manager). You end up doing Sales (your designation will be Assistant Manager!), you prepare reports, analyze data, do market research, handle client queries (designation will be Business Analyst, Associate Consultant, System Analyst etc.), sell financial instruments like insurance, mutual funds etc. (designation Wealth Manager), sell some products like automobiles (Management Trainee or Sales Executive), buy spare parts, deal with suppliers etc. (Warehouse Manager) and so it goes!!!
The designations are very misleading and its better you don't go gung-ho about it or try understanding the thousands (not dozens) of designations!! Just like you are oblivious, so are many MBA grads like me. That's the whole point of these designations - HR strategy to make you feel that "Cool, I'm an Assistant Manager now!!". Just don't ask what you do day-in-day-out by being an "Assistant Manager" and everything looks fine!!! So your profile, and what you actually do from morning till evening at office, that's what matters!!
In short - MBA is hyped and post MBA is over-hyped!!
@niksir said:@supratimd916 SIR ARE U SURE I CAN GET MICA CALL AT THIS PERCENTILE??
You will get a call for MICAT. after that it depends on your performance in MICAT.

I was reading your post and it almost jolted me out of my seat. All of us who aspire to get an MBA degree/diploma have a a very rosy picture of post-MBA life, somewhere deep down in our minds. And I, being an MBA aspirant myself am no different. As the realization dawns on me, I am forced to reconsider my decision and weigh all my options before jumping onto anything.
Now, only you, seniors, are our last hope - someone who can guide us and show the true picture.
I, with a not so good cat score( 90.13 percentile) am in a dilemma now and need someone to guide me. Please give your suggestions as to whether I should try for a B-school with this score or leave it for some other year. Also, which are the good colleges (besides IIMs) from where pursuing MBA would be worth it.
