Thankyou!

Hey Vasu

Getting shortlisted depends on your CAT percentile, WAT and personal interview. If you have a good record of academics then that would be a plus point. All these factors will help you in the IIMs' selection.

Looking at your factors, honestly, the chances exist but less. There are many candidates that don't opt for admissions or chose some other institutions, in that case your chances will increase automatically.

All the best

only for private universities like amity sharda or maybe some from ghaziabad ccs universities......


Hi Nitesh,

Firstly, I would like to congratulate you on getting such a decent percentile. You have done hard wok throughout the year and this has reflected in your percentile. I addition to that, you have an awesome profile. Being a B-School student, I have seen placement processes where profiles similar to yours are getting shortlisted for interviews for summer placements and final placements. The fact that you got 90+ percentage in both class 10 and 12 would be like icing on the cake where your perfect work experience will pull up your CV. So you won’t be having any kind of problem if you keep your pointers good in academics during your MBA, though it doesn’t matter much.
