Ok, here's my deal...

I have written GRE and have applied for MS in Management Information Systems in US universities and waiting for the results.

Meanwhile, I wrote CAT, in company of my friends, and surprisingly ended up getting a score on a higher side with no preparation.

Score... Quant = 71.77%ile, Verbal = 99.55%ile, Overall = 95.42%ile

I have not applied to any of the colleges yet, as honestly, I wasn't expecting this good score. Also, I have almost zero knowledge of the ranking of different B-schools in India. I am aware that most of the colleges deadlines fall before the CAT results date.

Now in case, I don't get any seat in US universities, I don't want to let go this score and waste another year of my life. Can anyone please tell me which university forms are still open and which would be right for my profile. I am only interested in MBA in IT and related courses. Which colleges would be best for an MBA in IT?

Profile.. Xth = 84%, XIIth = 78%, Work exp = 18 months as Software Engineer in Infosys as of this month.

PS : Please forgive me if I am breaking any forum rules as I am a : in PG and quite in hurry as I don't to miss out anymore colleges.

Your OA %ile looks fine but you ruined Quant. I don't think you will be abl to get into any of the big B Schools unless you have reservation and qualify according to their selection criterion.

Sorry..but your Quant score doesn't suffice any of the top 20-30 colleges unless they do not consider Sectionals.

Most of the Other top B-Schools have closed their registrations except IITs, TAPMI, and few more.

Usually IMT opens their application window for a week after results are declared. So you can check it out.

I'm not sure of any other institute opening their window post-CAT results. You may want to check out websites of institutes from where you stand a good chance for a call like IMI, SIMSR, LBSIM, TAPMI, BIM Trichy.

This time around you have the IIT's and FMS also to look forward to. Wha their cut off will be no one knows. Will have to just wait and watch how they go about it.

Thanks a lot everyone for the replies. That really helped.

One thing though - does no one here selects colleges based on the courses. It sure works that way for US universities.

I mean, sure some colleges are better for finance and some for marketing and so on. Why no IT specific suggestions 😞
