I want to know that with this academic profile what are the best colleges options I have to do my MBA. I am very sincere for preparing, but I have heard that many colleges give so much weight to past acads that it looks like even if I get good percentile in CAT I shall not be called for PIs.
Also do colleges other than IIMs also look at past acads.
Waiting eagerly for your replies PUYS .
PS: I am a girl so I might get some brownie points for gender diversity.

Your B Tech is great.
Normally people get 10th score -15 = B tech
You've got 10th score + 15 = B Tech.
There are enough girls .. don't think you're going to get brownie points for diversity. Unless you are a particularly diverse girl. Hotness will play a role.
hie, myself a newbie...i know its a tad too early to start preparin for cat 2013, but nevertheless....if any one is interested, they can go to this link and check out a 9-month-prep plan..just to get the idea..i found it 2 be quite good..anyway to each his own....peace :)
@Krishna8591 Without prep if you can score that much then some dedicated hard work can get you the results you desire. 😃 Chill out for few days as of now.Then start your prep for CAT 2013 with focus on your weak areas in Quant!! Also attend GDPI's if you have applied somewhere this time as it will be helpful for next time! All the best! :cheerio:
@cooper_girl Its never too early to start prep for a competitive exam like CAT. The earlier the better! :D
All that "plan" looks good on paper. But when it actually comes down to implementing it, trust me you're going to have a tough time. Honestly, in my opinion don't have a fixed plan like that on paper. It just increases your tension if you're not able to cover those topics in the defined timelines. Rather take each day one by one with special focus on your weak areas (you can identify them by attempting 2-3 mocks) and prep step by step keeping no end targets as such for now. You can have targets when you start your revisions some time in Aug/Sep!! All the Best! :cheerio:
@rumrav Your acads are decent. There are many institutes at the top like XLRI, FMS, MDI, NITIE, IIFT, JBIMS, TISS, NMIMS, SIBM P, SCMHRD, MICA, IRMA which have less weightage (not 0 but less) for past acads. So you can very well target them. And you never know, being a female candidate you might get calls from some IIMs also if your CAT score is very high i.e. 99+. Not giving you any false hopes, just trying to tell that forget about something you cannot change now, your past acads, and focus on CAT prep. Who will give you calls, let them decide. You make sure not to give them a chance to not call you based on what you can still change - your CAT score!!! 😁 All the Best! :cheerio:
