Hi!

Congratulations on securing 89.27 percentile in CAT. As stated, 89.27 is a good score but you will not able to apply for many of the good colleges as these colleges consider sectional cutoffs as one of the major components while shortlisting candidates for the GDPI process and for the final selection. 32.46 percentile in VARC section is below par score and will not fetch you a call from many of the business schools despite having a good overall percentile. As you have not mentioned your category, I am assuming that you belong to the general category (If you belong to the reserved category, you might get an Interview call from some of the colleges depending upon their selection criteria).

Therefore, I will suggest you to for the business schools which do not give consideration to the sectional percentile and emphasize on the overall percentile. Some of the good business schools that you can target based on your overall CAT percentile are given below:

  • IMT Ghaziabad
  • Goa Institute of Management
  • Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai
  • IMI Delhi
  • TAPMI Manipal

The list given above is non-exhaustive, candidates can get to know about all the colleges having no sectional CAT cutoffs .
