Hi Disha,

I will not paint a rosy picture in front of you but with the CAT score that you have achieved, you won’t be able to get into a decent B-School where you can land into a decent salary package after your 2 years of MBA/PGDM. Now, you have two options in hand:

  1. If you do not have the option of wasting a year for your study and want to get into any B-School that you get, I am listing  the B-Schools which are okaiysh and with your percentile, you can expect a call from them

Colleges

Average Salary Package(in Lakhs Per Annum)

ITM Navi Mumbai

5.5

Welingkar, Bangalore Campus

6.5

SDMIMD Mysore

6.5

NDIM, Delhi

5.5

Kirloskar Institute of Management Studies,Pune

6

Globsyn Business School, Kolkata

5

SCMS, Cochin

5


However, if you are really sure of getting into a B-School this year, then you must start preparing for Group Discussions and Personal Interviews. You can also try different exams which are left such as TISS-NET, CMAT, MHCET,MAT and try to do well which will increase your chance of getting into a decent B-School .

2.However, if you choose to try for another year, you may increase your score significantly. But, try to get into some organisation and simultaneously take out time to practice, since colleges and recruiters don’t prefer people with gap years. I guess you are familiar with the concepts of the CAT topics. Now just build on them. Solve as many mocks as possible.

I hope I have been able to solve your query. Do write to us if you have anything to ask and we will be glad to help you out. All the best!!!

Even with 50 percentile you can get a decent college. You should apply for these Institutions
  • Globsyn Business School Kolkata
  • NDIM New Delhi
  • JIMS Rohini
  • Alliance University Bangalore
  • Acharya Business School Bangalore
  • Doon Business School Dehradun
  • Asian Business School Noida
All the above mentioned colleges charge a fees less than 7 lakhs except NDIM which is the best among these colleges  and has a fees of nearly 8.25 lakhs but the ROI is good. You can easily bag a good job with an average compensation package of 6-7 lakhs. The college has good academics and the industrial vicinity is helpful for the students. NDIM does it's selection based on profiles and your performance in GD/PI rounds which are conducted in various cities.

Good Luck
