NIT Trichy - National Institute of Technology

For admission to DoMS,NITT only CAT score is considered . So unless you have written CAT and have a valid score you cannot apply.

Cut off depends on the number of applications we recieve , so u can apply as your cat percentile is defendable if u perform good in gd/pi , all the best

You will most definitely get a call with the score that you have. So do apply.

Its quiet difficult to get call for your score, but the selection process is dynamic and varies every year , so u can give a try , good luck

Definitely, you can expect a call from NIT Trichy and to get selected (90% chance). But before considering NIT, consider all these B-Schools:
1. IIT Madras.
2. BIM Trichy
3. IRMA Anand.
4. BITS Pilani.
5. Nirma University - Ahmedabad.
6. We School – Mumbai.
Since you fall under NC-OBC category you should probably consider IIT Madras and IRMA Anand because you got a bright chance in both these Top Tier colleges.

As of now NITT considers only CAT score for its MBA programme. MAT score is not considered.

The cat score you have is pretty good . You have a very good chance of getting a call from DoMS , NITT with the CAT score that you have.

Getting a call for 78.22 wouldn't be difficult . Since there are many new IIM's in the picture its likely that the cutoffs in NITT would also be reduced as a result. So do apply.

There was a quota for tamil students till 2013. Bu now it has been removed. So no special preference for tamil students is there.

I believe a score of 180-200 along with a good score in your respective board will secure a seat for you in NIT Trichy.
