IIM Ahmedabad - Indian Institute of Management Vastrapur Answered Questions

I don't think you would get good college with this percentile. I would suggest that you prepare well and write it once more. But to answer your question, IIT Madras, TA Pai, XIME Bangalore, etc. accept MAT score. Also if you are writing MAT, i would suggest that you write CAT as well. There are better colleges enrolled with CAT.

It would totally depend on your preference and your strengths. For example, if you are good in quant I would suggest finance or general MBA.

There are several areas that offer courses for all the students. However in first year, everyone has to complete same courses and there are no choices offered.

There are certain courses that take admission on profile, but that is limited for people who have some work experience. In my experience that is harder to crack. However you can look at that. One such institute is S.P. Jain. You can inquire more about that from admission office.

There are a lot of good colleges in Delhi. Several magazines and independent institutions publish MBA school rankings. You can look at some of these and believe the ones that you personally trust. However, as far as I am concerned, I think FMS Delhi, MDI Gurgaon, IIT Delhi are few really good choices.

GMAT exams are flexible and you can take it whenever you desire. CAT on the other hand is once a year exam which is usually organized in November. Course curriculum is almost same for both and includes quantitative abilities, verbal and logical reasoning. However exam pattern is different, GMAT is adaptive where as CAT is not.
