First of all Rohit congratulations for your excellent performance in CAT 2017!!

With 96.52 percentile you will definitely get calls from all ultra new IIMs like IIM Sambalpur, IIM Nagpur, IIM Sirmaur, IIM Bodhgaya etc. and also from new IIMs like IIM Trichy, IIM Udaipur, IIM Rohtak, IIM Kashipur etc. It will be not possible to get calls from any old IIMs like IIM A, B, C, L, and K. You can expect to get a call from IIM Shillong. WIth your excellent academic profile, you will also get a call from IIM Indore as it is one of the only IIm which gives way more weightage to academic records than CAT marks.

Along with this, you can apply in other private b-schools where you will have a good probability of getting a call and converting it are:

  • S.P. Jain
  • JBIMS Mumbai
  • MDI Gurgaon
  • IMT Ghaziabad
  • NITIE Mumbai
  • Great Lakes Institute of Management (GLIM), Chennai (PGDM Two-Year Programme)
  • Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar
  • Goa Institute of Management, Goa

You can also look forward to applying in all IIT's like IIT Bombay, Kanpur, Delhi, Kharagpur and Madras. If you are an engineer then you will get calls from all IITs, if not then you will only get calls from IIT Delhi and IIT Madras. As FMS has changed its weightage pattern so if you have applied for it then there is a slim chance that you might get a call from FMS.

Along with CAT score, you also have a very good academic profile which will enhance the probability of getting calls from colleges mentioned above. Make sure you apply to private colleges before the application deadline and start preparing for second round of WSAT and interview.

All the best!!

Thanks Sir. But my VARC percentile is a bit less 75 percentile. So should i expect calls from any IIM?

That will be a problem because most of the IIMs have sectional cut off as 80 percentile. But some of the IIMs have sectional cut off as 70 or 75 percentile. You have a chance to get a call from those IIMs.

FMS has earlier 85% weightage to CAT marks and 5% extempore 10% interview.

Now it has 60% CAT marks, 5% extempore, 15% interview, 10% GD and 5% for your 10th percentage and 5% for your 12th percentage.
