X-80% Xll-84% bt graduation-50% if I score 85+percentile, from which B-School I might get a call? (Category-Gen)

Shweta if we see other than your graduation percentage you have pretty decent academic records. But you must already know that CAT percentile is not the only criteria for selection.

After CAT exam every college in which you have applied prepares a merit list to call students for next round of interview based on your aggregate score which comprises of many parameters such as CAT marks, 10th, 12th and graduation percentage, work experience, engineer or non-engineer whose weightage varies for all different colleges. Generally, graduation percentage has a weightage of 5-10%.

And after your second round of interview again a new merit list is made which also includes marks of your interview, GD and WSAT which along with CAT marks generally have the highest weightage. If you get a call from any college makes sure you perform excellently in the second round so as to overcome the loss due to less graduation percentage.

By scoring 85-90 percentile marks in CAT 2017 you can aim for some of the colleges like

• TAPMI - Manipal
• Bharathidasan Institute of Management (BIM), Trichy
• Department of Business Economics, University of Delhi
• FORE School of Management, New Delhi
• Great Lakes Institute of Management (GLIM), Chennai (PGDM Two-Year Programme)
• Institute of Management Technology (IMT), Ghaziabad
• Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA)
• K.J. Somaiya Institute of Management Studies & Research (SIMSR), Mumbai
• MISB Bocconi, Mumbai
• National Institute of Banking & Management (NIBM), Pune

All the best!!
