Hello student,

With a 72 percentile in CMAT, you have a chance at getting into some decent B-schools, though top-tier institutions might be a bit out of reach. Here’s a breakdown of what you can aim for:

1. Tier 2 & 3 Colleges:

  • Colleges like :
    • Indira Institute of Management, Pune
    • IES Management College, Mumbai
    • Prestige Institute of Management, Indore
    • Institute of Public Enterprise, Hyderabad

  • These institutes may have cutoffs around your percentile, and they offer good value, especially with decent placement records.

    2. State-Level B-Schools:

  • You can explore state-affiliated MBA colleges that accept CMAT scores in your percentile range. Institutions from states like Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat may be a good fit.

    3. Focus on Specializations:

  • Depending on your area of interest (e.g., finance, marketing, HR), some colleges may have stronger programs in specific domains, even if they are not top-ranked overall.

    4. Check Counseling and Quota Options:

  • Some colleges might have management or state quota seats that could work in your favor.
