Colleges in Mumbai

For PGDM in SIES, they have the equal weightage for GDPI and entrance exam, so if you score well in your GD-PI then your entrance exam marks don't matter as such.
Best of luck.

About 75 to 80 percentile should be good for admission at Durgadevi Saraf Institute of Management Studies. The college has Ph.D faculty who have written research papers are quite well informed. Also, they have an amazing International Immersion program wherein you will get a chance to experience global industries like Mercedes Factory, etc.
Good luck.

In my opinion you will stand a better chance by applying next year if you plan to give the exam again. Else, just go for your profile evaluation for Global MBA programme offered by N.L Dalmia if you have a good past record and want to study with top international MBA institutions.

10% of weightage during your entire profile evaluation is given to your past academic record. So yes, these marks will matter but more importance is given to your entrance exam marks and GD-PI.
The last date for application is April 20, 2018. I think you should go ahead and apply. All the best.

78 percentile in CAT is much better than 78 percentile in most other entrance exams. Certain people in N. L. Dalmia have secured admission only due to a great profile and good performance in GD/PI with percentile near about this (I myself being one of them). The last date for application is April 20, 2018. I think you should go ahead and apply.
All the best.

Ye, the choice of specialization is made in the 2nd year in the last semester.

MCA course is of 2 years and yes you can go for that.
