Question - hello sir,
I have scored 80.XX%ile. what are some decent colleges in this percentile?
VistaMind - At 80%ile plus, there are colleges such as LIBA, IMI Kolkata (Check the last date), IMT Nagpur, FORE, BIM Trichy, NIRMA that you can apply to.
Question - Scored below 80%tile. How to go about for cat 17?
VistaMind - If you have decided to take up CAT 17, then I suggest that you contact Mr A Srinivas, an alumnus of IIM Indore and The ONLINE CAT Head of VistaMind. However, you may want to also check some colleges to apply to and go for interviews.
Question - Hi 50.xx PWD candidate. where to apply?
VistaMind - Please apply to NITIE, IIT Madras, Roorkee, Kanpur, BIM Trichy. You may get from some of the Ultra New IIMs.
Question - Hello sir, I scored 60 percentile, and am deliberate to pursue MBA from top notch college, but my main concern is that I am self-employed but my business is not registered. What should I do along with preparing for CAT -17?
VistaMind - Hi, If you want to continue your business, then it makes sense to Register that. If it is a small business and can be done as a side business, then I recommend that you take up a JOB. Writing CAT without a Job for too long will be a detriment for admission to TOP B Schools
Question - Hi sir, I have a score of 77 percentile in CAT with 2 years of work experience. I'm a female belonging to general category. And my DILR score: 50 %ile
QA: 67 %ile
VA- 89%ile
NMAT score - 191
Class 10 - 81%
Class 12 - 85%
Graduation Engg. - 77%
What would you suggest me to go with? Is it only fair to give another attempt? Do I have a chance at TAPMI, Great Lakes and BIM?
VistaMind - I guess you will not get any of GLIM, BIM or TAPMI. At 77 percentile, IFMR Chennai could be the best you can get. Others such as BIMTECH, IMDR and others are available!. NM Bangalore is possible.
Go to NM Bangalore. But, suggest that you may seriously think of writing the CAT exam again!
Question - 56.77 percentile, NC-OBC.. suggest me a good private institute which can help me with education loan too.
VistaMind - Almost No Private College gives any reservation. Is there any other criteria that you have for a BSChool? What is realistically expected package at the end of two yearS? What are your academic scores. ?
Question - Hello sir I got 43 cat percentile. I an NC-OBC guy. It's really important I pursue my MBA this year so please any suggestions?
VistaMind - Hi, CAT percentile won't be of much use. Please tell me as to which part of the country you want to pursue? What Fees levels you are looking at and what is your expected salary (realistically) at the end of TWO years. I can help you then!
Question - Hi..i graduated in 2015..cat-78,snap-91,nmat-202,xat-25-27..what should i do??..
VistaMind - Hi, You would get a few colleges - Under SNAP: SIBM Bangalore/SIIB ; Under XAT, probably GIM, LIBA (If you have applied). At 78 percentile in CAT, you may apply to NIRMA, BIMTECH, IMDR Pune. You will get NMIMS Bangalore too. Go ahead and go for the Interviews. You can decide to join or not at a later date.
Question - I have scored 67 percentile in CAT. I belong to SC Category. Which colleges am I eligible for?
VistaMind - At 67 percentile, you may apply to BIM Trichy, NITIE, NIT Trichy. You may get a few ultra New IIMs depending on your Academic Profile!
Question - sir, I scored 57.19% in cat-16, nc-obc category, any chances of FMS BHU call..?
VistaMind - Unlikely!
Question - Hello sir, I have scored 58.31 in CAT-2016. What should I do?
VistaMind - It depends on what you want to do this year. If you have to get into an Institute this year, then share your Academic Marks. There are many institutes which do not take CAT scores. Also, which part of the country that you want to pursue your MBA in? What should be the Fees range? Your expectations at the end of two years MBA? We can help you based on these!

Apply to BIM Trichy, LIBA, NIRMA too
Question - Hello sir, I have scored 71.25 percentile in CAT, I did my Btech in 2015 I have no work exp, Should i go ahead with the score or prepare for CAT18?

VistaMind - The IIMABC calls are typically at 99.5+. Also, it depends on your Acads too. Work-ex will not be a problem, Suggest that you apply to NITIE, IITB, D, KGP and get a final selection (in New IIMs and probably other IIMs too). Then you can take a call if you want to write again!

However, there are many other B schools, which do not worry too much about the CAT percentile. For these, you have to decide as to the Part of the Country you want to do your MBA in, Fees Levels, Expectation after MBA etc. Please do write back with these details.

Question - Do Top institutes dislike candidates having a gap of a year? I will be completing my Bcom dis year in may...
VistaMind - Ideally, you should not have a gap. But, if you can explain the reason (not preparing for CAT), then it is fine. They don't dislike. They may NOT like.
