Khushi, unfortunately that is quite a less score. The raw score must have been negative. It is not clear if you prepared on your own or attended coaching. If you want to study MBA even in a decent college, your score should be atleast 60 percentile and above. You might not get any College with this percentile. Either you have to reappear for CAT this year or take admission in a College that doesn't need any Entrance exam score. That way you will not be losing a year.

Hello Khushi

Seriously, how can you even think that any college will enroll you(not being outrageous) but still 17 percentile is way way way too less.

If you really wanna do MBA then please analyse your Weakness and Strength (SWOT) and comeback strongly.

All the best!!

KHUSHI GUPTA I am sorry Khushi for being rude to you in the Answer. You must have felt bad and again i am sorry for that. I can understand that you are already in tension about your score and add to it i have been harsh on you.
Sorry Khushi....
