Hi Arshad,

I would like to congratulate you on securing such a decent percentile in CAT. Considering that you are from OBC category will enhance your chances of securing a call from good B-Schools. I am listing down some of those B-Schools from which you can expect a call with their average salary:

IFMR, Chennai

9

IIM, Ranchi

11+

BIMTECH, Noida

7.5

KJ Somaiya, Mumbai

9.4

Welingkar, Mumbai

7.99

However, this is not an exhaustive list and there are some other colleges from which you can expect a call. You will have to appear for another test for admission in IRMS and your CAT score will only act as a qualifying one.

Your graduation in BCom will serve you as a catalyst since colleges prefer diversity in their batch as most of the people doing their MBA nowadays are engineers.

Now, since you have a fair understanding of the colleges, you may as well start preparing for Group Discussions and Personal Interviews since you won’t be having ample time of preparing once the colleges start rolling out the shortlist and summon you to appear for their GD/WAT/PI process.

I hope I have been able to solve your query. Do write to us in case of further  doubts and we will be glad to help you out. All the best!!!
