I have 0 workex and am in 7th Sem, looking to give CAT 25 as an effort attempt and give CAT 2026 with full fledged prep. With 0 workex I know I can't get IIM ABC but what are some other good national level MBA institutes for which I must aim for?

Hello Ayush

This is definitely a myth that with 0 work-ex you can't get IIM ABC because freshers still get into them although the competition is brutal but if you have good academics (9/9/9) and a good CAT (99.5%+), you have a chance.

These are some other good colleges except IIM ABC which you can aim for:

TIER 1:

IIM Lucknow
IIM Kozhikode
IIM Indore
IIM Shillong
FMS Delhi
SPJIMR Mumbai
MDI Gurgaon
IIFT Delhi & Kolkata

Tier 2:

NMIMS Mumbai
SIBM Pune
SCMHRD Pune
IMT Ghaziabad
XIM Bhubaneshwar
GIM Goa
TISS Mumbai

OC CAT/1,60,000 AIR: Wants to know the possibilities to get the mbbs/bds seat

Hello Aspirant,

With an AIR (All India Rank) of 1,60,000 in NEET and in the OC (Open Category) there is a very slim chance of getting an MBBS seat in a government medical college, especially in General Category seats through All India Quota (AIQ), but here are some options:

MBBS in Private Colleges: You could get a seat in a private medical college through the state quota, especially in Tier 2/3 states where the cutoffs are relatively lower. The fee would be high compared to government colleges.
BDS Seats: You have fair chances for BDS in both government & private dental colleges under the state quota.
Deemed Universities: Some deemed universities may offer MBBS seats at this rank but the fee is exorbitantly high (15 to 25 lakhs/year).
Management/NRI Quota: If you can afford, you can explore MBBS through management/NRI quota seats in private colleges.
Alternatives: You can think of allied health science courses such as BAMS, BHMS, B.Sc Nursing etc., which also have good career scope.

You can also participate in state counselling rounds, as sometimes, seats remain vacant/unfilled, including mop-up rounds.
