CAT

Aim higher. It will be extremely difficult to get good colleges with this percentile. 95+ percentile can get you calls from SP Jain, XLRI, FMS, almost all IIM's but the older IIMs have further screening processes like 10th 12th and graduation percentages etc. So aim higher percentile. Coming to JBIMS, DTE holds separate admission procedure for JBIMS. 99.99 percentile is required to get admitted there. Also try other exams as well like CMAT, MAT, SNAP, IIFT, Maharashtra CET etc.

Dear Preethi,
CAT stands for Common admission test. It is required to get admission for management programmes in the colleges like IIMs and other business schools. Quantitative aptitude, general English, general knowledge are the main and major parts to prepare for the exam. There are a lot of books available in the market. You can start with RS Aggarwal for maths, go for Wren and martin for English and go for GKgrip for current affairs.
All the best.

The top most college for MBA is IIM-K. Other than this IMI, IISWBM and Praxis are some of the good colleges. In order to enter into IIM-K, you need to score above 90 percentile in CAT. And for other colleges, you need to get above 70%tile.

Two months is not very long time but with good efforts, you can definitely crack it. You just need to practice more and more and have to focus on your weak areas.

You must start preparing for CAT in the final semester of your graduation. Join a good coaching institute for its preparation, if possible.

It depends from institute to institute. If you enrol for the full time coaching programs of the good ones like TIME, IMS or Career Launcher, it will cost you anything between 30000-45000 for a full year course. However, they also offer crash courses and online courses at cheaper rates. You can give them a call to get more information.

Beside CAT, you are advised to appear for XAT, MAT, SNAP, IIFT etc for seeking admission in prestigious B-Schools for MBA or PGDM.

You need to apply for different colleges after qualifying CAT exam.
