i have got 57.44 percentile in CAT 2017. Which colleges i should apply for? I'd prefer colleges from Pune or Mumbai primarily.

You can try the following colleges:

• Gitam Institute of Management Visakhapatnam
• Institute of Public Enterprise  - IPE Hyderabad
• New Delhi Institute of Management  - NDIM Delhi

All the best!

I suggest you prepare well for CAT'18 and re-appear for the exam. There are lots of decent colleges which are gettable if you can improve up to 85%ile next year. At 57.44 percentile, I would not suggest you join a b-school as you could land up in trouble during placement season.Think about your long-term gains from MBA.

Still, I am mentioning below some of the college names which accepts so low CAT percentile for admission (With such a low score you shouldn't be concerned about the location)

• MITCON Institute of Management Pune
• National Institute of Bank Management (NIBM) Pune
• National Insurance Academy (NIA) Pune
• Suryadatta Institutes of Management (SIMMC/SIBMT) Pune
• Birla Institute of Technology (BIT) Mesra Jharkhand
