Hello, Cat-96.99 (OA) , acads -91.2(10th)/91.6(12th)/84.3(grad). GEM , fresher. What calls should I expect?

Last year IIM CAP had cut-off of 96 for general. You will get a CAP call as well as baby-IIMs call. IIT-B is out. IITD usually has 96+ cut-off. They consider host of factors with priority to work-ex, hence, that is unlikely too You should apply to IIT-kgp, IIT-madras and IIT-kanpur If you wish to convert MDI, you have to outperform your peers in GDPI since your CAT score is relatively lower. Lastly, if nothing works out you can have a fallback option of IMI, IMT and DFS Since you are a fresher, instead of joining these three institutes, try to target ace colleges in next year's CAT Even if you join MBA as a fresher, you will not be eligible for many companies to sit for placements. Ideal time to join MBA is with 1-2 years of work experience. Also, work-experience makes you think from various perspectives and makes you all the more professional. In any case, attend all the interviews. They aren't easy. Interviews expect a certain degree of clarity and goal in one's life. Give your best efforts this year, if IITs or MDI doesn't workout, dont shy away from writing CAT again Wish you all the very best:)
