Hi Tannu,

Hope you are doing well !

Well, it seems that you have a good profile.

Though academics is not the only things considered in an IIM. You need to have Extra-curricular, and co-curricular activities. Also a good diverse profile is a plus point in any good B-school.

Hope my answer was helpful. Please let me know in case of any other query.

Hello Aspirant,

Sorry to inform you but you don't seem to have a decent academics to get calls from IIMs. Despite your OBC status, a score of 70% + in your academics along with 97/98 percentile could have helped you get a call from the baby IIMs too.

However don't get disheartened. Aim for 99 percentile. There might be chances of calls from the new IIMs or other equally good management colleges.

All the best for your future. Incase of any concerns, feel free to comment.

Hope you found this answer useful.Stay motivated stay positive.

First off, UPSC has got nothing towith CAT. Both of them are different and so you cannot compare UPSC and CAT cut off. These are the expected cut offs for IIM Shillong:

SIBM pune is a private university. Its rating in MBA COLLEGES LIST IS "AAAA" It was established back in the year 1978.

On the other hand, IIM SHILLONG is ranked 19th overall in MBA colleges list and is an Institute of National Importance. Also is a government colleges estbalished in the year 2008.

If you were to choose one from the above 2 mentioned, I will recommend you personally to go with IIM SHILLONG since it has minimum fees comparatively and has great placements compared to the other one as well. Infrastructure wise and facilities wise, SIBM Pune is better.

Refer to the sites below to know  more about both of them and then choose the one that suits YOU the best because thats most important.
