CAT

Hi Shyam,
As per the last year, cut-off stays at 80 and around. However, the college is considering the good profile. You can consider applying, there is a good chance of getting the interview call. The last date is 31st, so you better hurry - admission.bim.edu All the best!

Great Lakes is one of the top-most B-schools in India and generally, they send GD-PI calls depending on a person's overall performance throughout class 10th, 12th, graduation and entrance. Your entrance score is not bad but isn't enough to get a call from Great Lakes. Even if you get a call, it will be hard for you to convert the call.

You can apply to Indira Business School, Sri Balaji Society's Colleges, ITM, TSM, etc.

Hi,
You have quite a good score. As far as I know, most of the B-Schools have closed their admission process or are about to do so. So, to apply to certain good colleges, you need to really hurry up. Apply to BIMM, XIME, ITM, IISWBM, etc.

Sorry, but it's not possible to get IIM with this score. I would suggest you to fill form for below colleges:
1) BIMM, Pune
2) ISBS, Pune
3) Jaipuria, Noida
4) ITM, Navi Mumbai

Basically, if you get more than 40 Percentile you can apply and be assure that you have 75% chance to be shortlisted the rest depends upon the management decision.
Best of luck

No, I don't think so. All IIMs take admissions from CAT exam.

Hi,
There are certain essential differences between CAT and GMAT.
1. Quants section of CAT is tougher than GMAT. In CAT you can afford to skip questions, but in GMAT. You cannot do that.
2. If you don't do well in CAT then next year you can take CAT again. If you don't do well in GMAT. You can retake GMAT after few months. Speed and accuracy is essence of both.
3. CAT cost: Rs.2000 approximately for per-form.
4. GMAT. Rs.16k approximately for per appearance. I hope this helps.

There are three parts involved in preparing for any competitive exam.
1. Learning the concepts.
2. Solving questions and papers
3. Evaluation and improving. You can use Youtube or refer some books to clarify concepts and learn about the test format and structure. For solving problems you can buy some books by Tata McGraw Hill, Arihant for CAT and Kaplan, GMAT Review for GMAT. For evaluation and improving, you can solve papers and evaluate them yourself. Find out your weaknesses and work on improving them.
