Hi Anirudh,

I really feel bad for your situation and I am not going to give you false hopes. So by your CAT score you may find it difficult to get any calls from the good or average B-Schools. Same is the result with your XAT. However, there is nothing to lose hope. There are few options which you can avail as of now:

1. Go for other exams like CMAT, MAT, MHCET, TANCET. These colleges will give you another chance of getting into a decent B-School. There are many people who do not go for CAT and XAT because of their difficulty level as well as the number of people attending those exams. MAT is conducted several times in a year. If you have missed one, you don’t have to worry as there will other chances and it goes on throughout the year. However, before applying you should keep a check on the month specific eligible institutes. NDIM is a good B-School located in Delhi and it accepts MAT ,CMAT,XAT,CAT scores. You can also apply for ATMA exam which will also be beneficial for you and it is also relatively easier compared to the other exams.
2. Another thing that you can do is go for Management Quota as there are few seas that are reserved in this quota. The only downside is that you have to pay extra(few lakhs) to get yourself admitted under this quota. Rest everything will be same.

Now it’s your call which one to go for. Though there are several colleges which accept low scores but that will a total waste of money unless you are going solely to earn your MBA degree and not placements. If you want to get placed in a good company at the end of the 2 years, then you should one of the two options above.

I hope I have been able to solve your query . All the best!!!

hi,

see as for your cat or xat score you can not get any tier 1 and tier 2 colleges, however you may go for tier 3 colleges where direct admission available, however this colleges has no placement , number of student strength is less, less number of experienced faculty, after completing mba students dont get good placement and becomes job less, so think wisely before you join any college.
