Hi Sarthak, I would be helpful if you provide with your percentile to us. This would help us to guide you or let you know as to which college you can apply. Note that admissions for PGDM are already on the verge of completion and have been completed in many colleges. You can now try for MS. Please provide with your percentile. Good Luck!

Hi Ayushi!
Quants is a subject would ask you for your patience and hardwork. The only and the best way to prepare is to practice as much as you can. Try solving past papers and also give number of online mock test. Google out shortcuts for certain chapters. I would say along with hard work you would need to work smartly. Try figuring out which chapters has the highest weightage and focus more on the same and practice more sums. Practicing more and more would not only help you increase your speed but also would help you to boost your confidence along with it. Keep a target w. r. t. time and try solving those number of sums within the tim

With 84 percentile, you may not be able to get into IRMA. However, since admissions are based on the merit, there may be chances that students with a score better than yours don't choose IRMA and luck may knock your door.
Be hopeful but keep other options open.

You can start preparing for CAT from the next academic year. Usually, CAT exam takes place in October-December so you have good 4 months to prepare for CAT. Since you will have a lot of time at your disposal, I would also advise you to join some short-time certification course in the area of your liking as it will help you later in your career.

It is not necessary to take additional maths but you should take additional maths as it will benefit in future. There are many colleges in India where maths is compulsory as one of the subjects in HSC.

Dear Bindia,
I would advise you to take a mock test before start preparing for CAT. This mock test helps you to determine the level at you are from where you need to start learning. However, the best time to start preparing for the CAT-GMAT is after the 3rd semester (provided how much time did you need). Being a physics student, the quantitative section could be easier for you. So put more stress on qualitative section also.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.

Your 10th marks are good. Your 12th marks are on the lower side. Your UG CGPA is also average. Any non-
managerial work-ex, specifically IT is not relevant work-ex for MBA. You will get some points for your work-ex however. Anyways, if you are a General Engineer, you will need to target 99.9+ percentile in CAT. Also, don't restrict your options to just IIMs. There are some amazing non-IIM Schools also in India that you could apply to - FMS, MDI, IMTG, SP Jain, XLRI, XIMB, JBIMS, NITIE, IIFT NMIMS, SIBM, etc.

Hi Nikitha,
As per the past trends, you have a good chance of getting a call for WAT/PI if you have good past academics (85+ is considered to be a good score), and manage to get a CAT Percentile of 98.5+. After that, it is entirely up to your performance in WAT and personal interview round, which will determine your chances for the final selection.
Wishing you all the best.

There is no such college to pursue agribusiness management without CAT entrance exam. The basic eligibility criteria for this course is to pass the relevant entrance exam conducted for admission to the course followed by rounds of group discussion and personal interviews in the final stages. The main entrance exam held for the courses are CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT, etc.
