Hope this information will help you

Hello,

Based on the details you provided, here is an assessment:

  1. IIMs (General Category) :

    • IIMA (FABM) : Your 92.4%ile in CAT is competitive, but for IIMA FABM, which focuses on agricultural business management, your BSc. Botany background might help, though the cutoff for FABM is typically around 95-96%ile. However, if you have strong academic performance in other areas (work ex, 10th/12th), there might be a chance for shortlisting in the interview round.
    • IIML (ABM) : With your work experience and background, IIM Lucknow's ABM program (Agriculture Business Management) could be a strong option, as the cutoff for this program is generally around 90-92%ile, and your CAT score is close to this threshold.
  2. IITs :

    • You may have a better shot in IITs like IIT Kharagpur (for MBA in Agri-Business), as their cutoff is typically lower than IIMs, especially with work experience.
  3. Improvement Areas :

    • Focus on your CAT score improvement or interview prep to bolster your chances further.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

Once you have applied for CAT under the General Category, you will not be able to change your category after the exam, even during the IIM selection process. Category information that you would provide during the CAT application process would be used throughout the selection cycle, including shortlisting for interview and finally admitting candidates.

Here are a few key points to consider:

  • Eligibility : If you are eligible for OBC category but mistakenly applied under the General category, it may affect your chances of availing benefits such as relaxation in cutoff marks, reservations, and other category-specific advantages.
  • IIM Process : Based on the details you fill in your application, including the category, the IIMs (Indian Institutes of Management) shortlist you for the further selection procedure, which includes Personal Interviews (PI) and Written Ability Test (WAT) after the CAT exam.
  • Correction/Update : Normally, after submitting the CAT application, there is no provision for category change. However, you should contact the CAT Helpdesk or the admissions office of the IIMs you are applying to, explaining your situation. They may guide you on whether any exceptional correction or update is possible.

Make sure your category is correctly selected for future reference during the application not to attract complications in your admission processes.

Hello,

CAT percentage score: 92.4%ile; Educational background: B.Sc. Botany; Work Experience: 34 months; CGPA 9 in Class 10 With such a profile, the niche programs like IIMA FABM (Food and Agribusiness Management) and IIML ABM (Agri-Business Management) present a competitive edge. This is because these programs offer good diversity in academic backgrounds that align well with your profile.

While your 12th (65.7%) and graduation (65.2%) scores may eliminate opportunities at the older IIMs for their core PGP programs, newer IIMs in the list are IIM Udaipur, IIM Raipur, and IIM Kashipur; the MBA programs at the IITs like IIT Madras, IIT Roorkee, or IIT Kharagpur are also worth examining with their slightly lower cut-offs.

Emphasise academic diversity, work experiences, and career goals that are in agribusiness to strengthen your application and prepare for interviews to eventually apply strategically to maximise your chances at institutions whose values align with yours.

You can use the online CAT College Predictor tools to estimate the probability of receiving interview calls from different IIMs and other top MBA colleges based on your CAT percentile of 92.4% and academic background.

With a 59.95 percentile in CAT 2024 under ST reservation category you can get into the following colleges (tentatively):

  • IIM Kashipur
  • IIM Trichy
  • IIM Raipur
  • IIM Udaipur
  • IIM Ranchi
  • MDI Gurgaon
  • IMI Delhi
  • IMT Ghaziabad
  • Great lakes institute of management
  • TAPMI Manipal

However do remember ultimately it's your academic background, work experience and performance in GD-PI that influence your selection in colleges the most.

All the best!

With a NEET score of 522 and belonging to the SC category, you have a good chance of securing a seat in a government medical college in your state, depending on the state’s cutoff and reservation policies. Government colleges typically reserve seats for SC candidates, which will improve your chances. However, the exact chances depend on the specific state's cutoff for SC candidates. It's best to check the previous year's cutoffs or use college predictors to get more accurate information.
