Where Do You Stand?
Now that you know all the cut-offs of the colleges, you might be wondering what will be your percentile and which colleges might call you? Well, fret no more! InsideIIM’s CAT Percentile Predictor is here to help you out.
How To Use This Percentile Predictor?
All you need to do is enter your details about the exam slot, sectional questions attempted work experience, 10-12th marks, target b-school, graduation stream, etc into the predictor. After that, you’ll get:
- Your possible CAT 2019 percentile (It may not be 100% accurate. But it’s a start!)
- A list of b-schools you will likely NOT get a shortlist for
Percentile Predictor will help you plan ahead in terms of:
- Which other entrance exams you need to attempt
- Which alternate b-schools you SHOULD apply to
And that’s not it. To further help you decide the B-School where you can fulfil your MBA Dream, we bring you - InsideIIM's Kampus Pass initiative that gives you an opportunity to spend a day at some of your dream campuses and meet their students, professors, and alumni. This exercise will further help you and give you direction in choosing the business school of your choice.
