CAT

Hello,
As far as academics is concerned, yes, you have a good record. Though +2 remains some concern as the same is below 80% but overall you will have a good score as in graduation 8.8 is definitely above cream average.
Rest there are numbers of factors that play for the total composite score. So, all the best, make your best for written and face to face evaluations.
All the best

Hello,
In the current scenario you have two options that can be considered
a- Start a job post your current degree
b- Join a correspondence/light course and side by side prepare for MBA entrance.
Also here I would like to mention the fact that don't rely only on CAT consider other national level entrances like NMAT, CMAT, IIFT etc. and try to hit them as well.
You can option for a computer course and in parallel try to prepare for exams. All the best :)

Hi Aditya, Just try giving 1 or 2 mocks and gauge where you stand right now and what areas need improvement. Then go ahead and work on those areas and simultaneously give mocks to evaluate your performance in those weak areas. Mocks are very important and should be an essential part of your preparation.

For PGPM program, you need to have atleast 24 months of work experience till March 31, 2018, only then you can apply for this course. Since you don't have any work experience you can apply for PGDM program at Great Lakes.

Hi Juned,
Nothing can be said with certainty as the admission criteria has changed this year. Try scoring over 90 percentile to stand a decent chance.

An exact answer cannot be given right now as the weightage for past academic scores has been introduced from this year itself. Try scoring 99.8%ile or more and you should be fine.

Hi Saurav,
You will have to score very high in CAT, try getting 99.8%ile or more.

Hi Abhishek, even if you have less score in academics you CAT score will be very important because it has 60% weightage in the final selection. So if you get over 96 percentile it will be good.
