Currently scoring low in mocks (30-40 range) and looking forward to improve it
Any IIM or other good bschools are fine for me

As for interview point of view, i have done some certifications including digital marketing, seo, business analytics. I have served as NSS volunteer, and actively participated in my college department's mc team. Done two projects in my ug.

which colleges can i realistically convert, and what else should i do to boost my scores even further?

Hi Sabarish,

You have a decent profile to work with. Your academics are not exceptional, but being an NC-OBC non-engineer does help. Your certifications, NSS work, college activities and projects can also give you things to talk about during interviews, so don’t feel that your profile is empty.

Since you’re currently scoring 30-40 in mocks, I wouldn’t worry too much about specific colleges just yet. Focus on steadily improving your score. If you can reach 95–97+, some newer IIMs and good B-schools can become realistic. Once you start moving towards 98–99+, you can look at stronger options such as IIMs like Trichy, Udaipur, Ranchi and other competitive B-schools, depending on the admission criteria and sectional scores.

To improve your score, spend more time on mock analysis. Identify whether your marks are being lost due to weak concepts, poor question selection, or time pressure. Work on those areas instead of simply increasing the number of mocks. Since you're already at 30-40, consistent practice can definitely move you up significantly.

For your profile, the biggest thing you can do now is improve your CAT score rather than collecting more certificates. Build on the experience you already have and focus on getting your mocks up step by step.
