Hi there,

A female candidate with a CAT percentile of 67.97 and low sectional scores should target private and tier-2/3 B-schools that accept overall CAT scores in the 60–70 percentile range and have flexible sectional criteria.

Some suitable options include AIMS Institute Bangalore, Doon Business School Dehradun, Christ Institute of Management, KIIT School of Management Bhubaneswar, PES University Bangalore, IBS Business School, IMS Ghaziabad, Army Institute of Management Kolkata, Rajagiri Centre for Business Studies Kochi, and Thiagarajar School of Management. In addition, colleges such as EMPI Business School Delhi, Praxis Business School Kolkata, Acharya Institute Bangalore, and NSHM Kolkata are also realistic choices.

With this score, admission to top IIMs and highly competitive private institutes is difficult. Selection in these colleges depends not only on CAT performance but also on GD and PI performance, academic profile, and gender diversity. Therefore, a strong interview and well-defined career goals can significantly improve the chances of selection.

Feel free to reach out if you have any other queries, wishing you all the best.
