Hi Abhinav,

First of all congratulations for your score in CMAT. If you want to pursue a career in finance then NIBM is a good choice for you. The brand of NIBM is focused towards particular field that is banking and finance.
Well, looking at the last three years cmat cutoffs : 87 in 2016, 93 in 2017 and 94 percentile in 2018 ; it seems a little tough for you to get a call. But don't lose hope this year they may increase or decrease the cutoff based on various parameters. Also, according to the information provided this year's CMAT exam was quite tough. So I would suggest you to apply for it and see where it takes you. I would also like to inform you that NIBM also accepts CAT, MAT XAT scores. You can definitely try via that route. To get a call from NIBM your cat percentile should be 80 or above and MAT should be around 94 ( like i said, it may vary this year).
There is a basket of other good B-schools you can look for. Heres the list of B-schools accepting 80-85 percentile in CMAT :

1. Welingkar Institute of Management, Mumbai

2. Welingkar Institute of management, Bangalore

3. IMT, Hyderabad

4. IMT, Nagpur

5. IFMR, Chennai

6. IFIM, Bangalore

7. Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management

8. Jaipuria Institute of Management

9. XISS, Ranchi

10. NL Dalmiya Institute of Management

All the best!

Hi Abhinay,

Thanks for A2A.

NIBM Pune is an apex institution set by RBI in 1969. It has a very strong faculty pool and is among the reknowned colleges in India. NIBM will use scores of CAT 2017 / MAT (Feb 2018) / CMAT (2018) for short-listing the candidates. ATMA scores are not being considered anymore in the institute selection. Last year the cutoff for NIBM through CAT was 80 percentile while that for CMAT ended at 93 percentile.

Based on these trends, I believe there is unfortunately no chance for you to get a call from NIBM Pune at 81.24 percentile this year.

You can try for other good B Schools.

All the best.

according to last year cutt off no chance...93%...
