First of all, a Big Big Congratulations to you for such an awesome percentile. Your hardwork and efforts have really paid off. Hoping that you are satisfied with your percentile, here are a list of colleges that you can apply to, with your percentile:

( I am not talking about baby IIMs which will surely call you. Though it is a tough call whether IIM-A,B,C will give you a call or not, but be sure of getting the calls from the other IIMs)

I hope you really get into these colleges. Apart from these, tier 2 reputed institutes which are worth looking are:

  • TAPMI, Manipal
  • GIM, Goa
  • IFMR, Chennai
  • Fore School of Management, Delhi
  • BIM, Trichy   etc,.

Next, what you need to do is to get yourself gear up your preparation for Group Discussion, Case Discussions, Written Ability Test and Personal Interviews. The following four things won’t be followed all together. Some colleges may have only WAT & PI. Others may follow other ways of selection. For Group Discussions, you should be good at speaking in English. Beside your communication skills, you should be noted on your eye contacts and your ability to moderate a GD. For Case Analysis, try to get some idea on “SWOT & PESTEL” analysis which will add you some brownie points. For WAT & PI, read newspapers daily and having a quick writing habit.

You might be asked questions on your average Verbal score. Try to frame an answer to it before hand.

Another thing that you need to keep in mind that if you are not going for a dedicated specialisation from the very first year, then try to do an initial reading on the basics of Marketing, Finance, Operations, Analytics and Human Resources. Though you will be going through each and every introductory courses in detail when you will join any program but if you need to get an upper hand, you need to prepare before hand. If you are an engineering graduate, try to learn the basics of accounting and economics before joining as that will be helpful for you to compete with your commerce peers who have joined the same curriculum.

I hope I have answered your query. All the best!!!
