With a CAT percentile of 40.35 in the SC category, it may be challenging to secure a seat in one of the new Iims, as the competition for these institutes is generally quite high. However, it's essential to keep in mind that admission to any business school depends on multiple factors, including academic performance, work experience, and performance in the selection rounds (group discussion, Personal Interview etc. ). You may consider applying to other reputed management institutes that offer MBA programs, such as NITIE Mumbai, TISS Mumbai, IISWBM Kolkata, or other government and private institutes. These institutes have their eligibility criteria and admission processes, which may vary from one institute to another. It's also essential to keep in mind that while CAT scores play a vital role in the admission process, they are not the only criteria considered by the institutes. Other factors such as academic performance, work experience, extracurricular activities, and performance in the selection rounds can also influence the admission decision. I would advise you to research the eligibility criteria and admission process of the institutes you are interested in and focus on preparing well for the selection rounds. This may include improving your communication skills, enhancing your knowledge of Current Affairs and developing your critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
