Hi Saurabh,

Congratulations on your CAT score!!

With 95 percentile you have a good chance of getting calls from newer IIMs like IIM Sambalpur, IIM Nagpur, IIM Sirmaur, IIM Bodhgaya etc. and also from new IIMs like IIM Trichy, IIM Udaipur, IIM Rohtak, IIM Kashipur etc.


Other than this you can also apply in NITIE Mumbai, IIT Madras, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Delhi, IIT Roorkee IMT Ghaziabad, S.P. Jain, Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai, Goa Institute of Management etc.


Along with CAT score, your academic profile should also be very strong so that you'll have a good chance to get calls from the colleges mentioned above. Make sure you apply in private colleges within their closing deadline and start preparing for second round of WAT and Personal Interview.


Hope this helps,

All the best!

Hi,
Congrats on scoring a 95.77 percentile.

I'm hoping that you have cleared all the sectional cutoffs. In that case 95.77 is a good percentile and you have a good chance of converting in new IIMs. Infact if your academic profile is good you may even convert one of the older IIMs.

I have seen students from general category convert IIM Indore and Lucknow at 95-96 percentile too.

So don't loose hope. Give your best in GDPI because that can turn the tables around.

All the best
