Have a question related to IIFM Bhopal ?

Hi..my cat score is 64... i have 8 years experience as an architect my tenth , twelth marks are 88% and 78% respectively and cgpa of 6.7 from NIT . what are my chances to get into a reputed college... and can you suggest me possible options

A score of 64 marks in CAT would likely fall around the 85th percentile depending on the difficulty of the exam and the overall performance of candidates in this year.


So,it is highly unlikely that you will receive a call from any of the IIMs as the required percentile for an IIM call is typically much higher, usually ranging from 90% and above, especially for top IIMs like Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Calcutta.


If you are looking for MBA programs, consider exploring other B-schools that may have lower cut-offs for admission.


Here are some B-schools that may have lower cutoffs for admission:


SOIL Institute of Management: Has a CAT cut-off of 75 percentile


T. A. Pai Management Institute (TAPMI), Manipal: Has an expected CAT cut-off of 85+


Great Lakes Institute of Management (GLIM): Has an expected CAT cut-off of 85+


MICA: Has an expected CAT cut-off of 85+


S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR), Mumbai: Has a CAT cut-off of 85 percentile


Shailesh J. Mehta School of Management (SJMSOM), Mumbai: Has a CAT cut-off of 97.5 percentile


Others are IIT Bombay, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Roorkee, JBIMS, XIMB, and GIM.


Now coming to your academic background which often calculated as a weighted average based on the importance of each component different b school has different criteria for it.

Is mba in abroad worth it or mba in india is better ? With bad academic and zero work experience,on the basis of cat or gmat score what are the chances of securing a top mba college ?

Whether you do when MBA in India or in abroad it depends on several factors, including your academic background work experience . They both have their advantages and disadvantages. MBA in India is generally more affordable than International programs and their strong Local Network that can help you secure jobs in the Indian companies. You will be more familar and with the Indian business environment. And it also has a strong focus on the Indian market.That disadvantages would be there is less Global exposure. And also the ROI might be lower compared to the international programs. If you do MBA and abroad you will gain exposure to diverse cultures and business practices .you  connect with leaders from  outside world and also industry professionals. You will have a higher ROI also will have access to latest business trends.Disadvantages would be that the tuition fees is very high and also the Visa and the immigration processes can be Complex you have to adapt to a new culture so that can be difficult too. but as you have a lack of work experience then MBA in India might be a more practical choice. if you have strong Academic credentials and can secure good GMAT scores you can consider trying to top International program.You must gain some work experience and also aim for a high GMAT score. Even with bad academic background, you can cover that up with some work experience, if you want t go ahead without these 2 then aim for an excellent score in CAT OR GMAT an prepare for interviews as well. You can definitely succeed. GMAT
