Hi Ashish. Hope you are keeping well. I was thinking for preparing for CAT exam, (Here is my profile - 81 in 10th , 73 in 12th, 48% in graduation(scored less due to medical condition), 69% in post grad. (Mcom) and 30 months of work experience in Pwc. My question is can i give cat exam as my graduation percentage is below 50 and i am an obc too. And if i cannot give cat exam what other options are availsble for me to do mba from tier 1 colleges which can give me better placements. It would be great if you would give some names for the colleges i should target for.

Ans: Well you aren't eligible for CAT or other such similar management entrance exams.

However, you can choose to go for GMAT.

Or you can go for executive MBA offered by almost all premiere institutes. Check the individual IIMs for their respective criterion.

Hi Sir..I am 25 year old female currently thinking of giving cat exams.I graduated in 2020 from an engineering background.post that I started preparing for upsc full time ,which I have not been able to clear so far. I have no work experience and I do not wish to work in the IT sector.My academic profile is 95%,86%and 8.7 cgpa. So I want to ask you if doing an MBA from any IIM would ensure me a good placement provided I crack CAT and convert some IIM. Or I should join a tier 3 MBA clg in blore as a back up if I don't clear cat. I am very confused sir.so please help me.

Ans: It does not make sense to join a tier 3 MBA college if you have a potential to get into IIMs. Give a good shot for CAT and try to get into a good college. If you do not get admission in good college then can look at tier 2 or tier 3 colleges. If possible take up a job so that your gap does not increase.

Sir I am 33 year old b.com graduate(2014) lady with 2 year work experience one year as contract basis and one year as permanent as a teacher in vedantu and I am married and I have a kid of one year old .. I want to give cat and do mba to restart my career.. Will I get any tier 2 college if I get good percentile in cat and will I get placement after that...

Ans: It is possible to get into tier 2 college and get a decent job. But probability is low. Because of your age there is high chance that you may find difficulty in getting placement post your MBA. Also doing a full time MBA with 1 or 2 year child at home looks a tall order. Look out for short job oriented courses in the area of your interest.
