Shortlisted candidates will appear for the selection procedure which includes Writing Ability Test (WAT) or Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds. More than 4000 seats are offered by 20 IIMs through CAT exam.

What are the colleges one can look for if he/she scores 50 percentile in CAT

Sampriti Student Expert 27th Jan, 2020

With your percentile you can still check out some decent colleges like NDIM New Delhi and JIMS Rohini. They mostly select students on the basis of their performance in GD/PI rounds only. You'll just have to apply for them and appear for the process that take place in various cities throughout the country. These two would be the best options you can have. You can also check out colleges like

Krupanidhi School of Management
MS Ramaiah Bangalore
Bengal college of engineering and Technology
ASM's group of institutions
Shanti Business School and others

You can also wait for other exams like CMAT if you've applied for it. You can have good number of colleges there also.

Apart from that you can also apply for the written test of IBSAT and your final selection will be based on your performance in GD/PI rounds held in Hyderabad.

Good Luck
