The CAT results are out and along with it we have a fresh breed of future
Corporate leaders waiting to be groomed and mentored by the Best B
Schools in the country. The crème-della-crème of the lot which comprise
of the top 2500 aspirants will be picked up by the IIMs after clearing the
Group Discussion and Personal Interview round. For the rest of the lot,
there are 150 top Business Schools waiting. IIMs are invariably the most
desirable of the lot, but the world does not come to an end with the IIMs
closing doors. Rather there is a whole new world of management world
that opens up there after. The 150 B Schools include some of the premier
management institutes who provide an equally good platform for the students
in terms of curriculum, industry exposure and placements. One just
needs to make the right choice. Our cover story focuses on the hits and
misses of CAT 2010. We also look at how life changes after the CAT. Some
aspirants ride high on the crest of success, while some, who are not so
happy with their CAT scores, prepare to take the test next year. And some
applicants, who do not have the luxury of time, make the best out of the
opportunities available to them. However, one thing that is for sure is
that one needs to make the right choice at the right time. The selection of
right B School is of paramount importance for MBA aspirants at this juncture.
