CMAT

Having around 95+ percentile would keep you on the safe side.

31st March is the last date for application to the PGDM courses.

With CMAT, you compete for All India Seats which are very few. You need 90+ percentile but this changes every year. To be on a safer side, target 95+ percentile.

You need to have 200 score in your CMAT exam.

It is around 70 percentile for XIME and around 75 percentile for NIBM.

A candidate should be a graduate with at least 50% marks in general category and 45% marks in ST, SC, OBC category. The cut-off for last year that is 2016 was 220+.

Both are good institutes. But, Alliance is better than XIME.
All the best.
