NMAT

Hi Harsh,
If you clear cut off for 50 percentile, you stand a good chance according to past year trends.

In XUB schools (XIMB, XAHR, XSRM), admission criteria is based on percentile. If you are applying in XAHR (Xavier School of Human Resources), cut off for last year was
Domicile Quota - 70/55/55/70 (VA/LR/QA/OA)
Non Domicile Quota - 87/80/80/87 (same order).

Hello! Unfortunately, there is not even a decent B-School anywhere in India where one can get admission with just 143 percentile in the NMAT exam. And the ones you might get won't simply be worth enough to pursue MBA; turning out to be a total waste of both your precious time I.e. 2 years as well as money (in Lacs). The cut-off of all good colleges via NMAT is generally 190 and above. I would suggest you to either reappear for NMAT (or other exams as per your wish) next year or focus on the other upcoming exams like MBA CET and MAT. Wish you all the best!

You can look for IBS (Hyderabad), SRM, VIT, Alliance, Athena, etc. All are decent colleges.

Colleges you can look for at this score are -
VIT - Vellore
SRM University - Chennai
MISB Bocconi - Mumbai
IBS (ICFAI B-schools) - Hyderabad & 9 other cities
Alliance University - Bangalore
BSE Institute Ltd - Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad
Shiv Nadar University - Greater Noida
WOXSEN - Hyderabad
Amity University - Noida
Thapar School of Management - Mohali
UPES - Dehradun
BML Munjal University - Gurgaon
ITM - Navi Mumbai
Mody University - Jaipur
GSIB - Visakhapatnam
HBS - Hyderabad

Hello,
To be honest, neither of these exam scores will fetch you an interview call from any of the reputed and top-ranked B-School in the country and the colleges accepting such scores are not really worth pursuing MBA; it would be a waste of both your precious time (2 years) and money. You can reappear for these entrance exams next year and aim for a much better college, only if you wish. Else, you can focus on the other upcoming exams like MAH-MBA CET and MAT.
Good luck.

Some of the colleges which accept NMAT score are as follows:
1. Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, Mumbai 2. Amity Business School, Noida
3. Alliance School of Business, Bangalore
4. SRM University, Chennai
All these colleges are having a very good reputation in our country. All these colleges have a good placement cell. The strong educational standards imparted by these campuses help students to gain very good placement packages.

The reputed institutes accepting scores of NMAT exam are NMIMS (Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad campuses only), MISB Bocconi and XIMB Bhubaneswar. Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, Mumbai accepts more than 290 score in NMAT. Mody University, Sikdar Amity Business School, Noida Chitkara Business School, Chandigarh IBS Business School, Mumbai School of Business, University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun Woxsen School of Business, Hyderabad IBS Business School, Bangalore IBS Business School, Dehradun IBS Business School, Gurgaon IBS Business School, Pune.

Unfortunately, there is not even a decent B-school anywhere in India, where one can get admission with those scores. And, the ones you might get won't simply be worth enough to pursue MBA; a total waste of both your precious time i.e. 2 years and money (in Lacs). I suggest you to either reappear for CAT (or other exams as per your wish) next year or focus on the other upcoming exams like MBA CET and MAT.

Among the three exams mentioned, MAH-CET is accepted by majority of the top-ranked B-schools in Maharashtra like JBIMS, Sydenham, Somaiya and Welingkar. Whereas, the reputed institutes accepting scores of NMAT exam are NMIMS (Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad campuses only), MISB Bocconi and XIMB Bhubaneswar. ATMA isn't accepted by any of the top 20 B-schools in India, so not really important to give. Thus, CET and NMAT are better and more important exams to give.
