    With 21 percentile it is not possible to get admission in a good B-school. You should try with other exam's score or prepare hard for next year.

    21 percentile is not good for admission in good institute but you can try for some lower rank institute with this percentile. As per the fee structure of lower rank institutes it will range from 2 lakhs to 5 lakhs.

    Try to get a better score and secure admission in a good college / institute. A minimum of 50 percentile is required to secure admission in a good college.

    21 percentile score will not get you admission in a good MBA college. You may still land up getting in category 3 college. However, such a qualification will not help you in making a good career. I would advice you to prepare yourself better and again appear for CMAT for an improved score. The fees for MBA range from 2 lacs to 4 lacs and for a higher ranked college it may be between INR 4 to 7 lacs as well.

    With 21 percentile, your chances of getting admission into a good MBA college are extremely low. You must focus on preparing for the next year.

    Hi,
    I believe you can't get admission in a good college with this score. You need to secure 70 percentile or more for the same.
    So, I would suggest you to take other entrance test this year.

    Yes, you can easily get admission with 21 percentile in CMAT. Fee structure will be the same as decided by the individual institutes. There are certain B-schools in Mumbai which just want a candidate to appear for the entrance exams rather than scoring good. I don't have any idea about rest of the cities and states.

    The colleges which will take you with this percentile can even enroll students without any exam. So, for your own good, attempt all the entrances again.
  • 21 percentile is a low score. I am not sure any good B-School can accept the score. Definitely you have to look at the lower level institutions.

    Hi,
    CMAT has got a list of colleges under it. Jamanlal Bajaj is the one. However, with 21 percentile you may find it tough to get a renowned college.
