It is a difficult to get admission into a good B school based on this percentile. I suggest you try for other entrance exams. I hope that helps.
All the best. -

Sure. At this score, you can try many B schools but lot of colleges closed tier application or about to close. RSB Chennai one of the leading MBA College in South India in terms of placement. Application is open. Last date to Apply is Feb 25, 2019. -
Hello!
Since the CAT cut-off of all good colleges is generally 80+ percentile, it is impossible to get admission at that score. I'd suggest you reappear for CAT and/or other MBA entrance exam and score higher.
Good luck! -

There are pretty less chances for you to get a good B-School with the given percentile. But, surely, you should try again as there is a plethora of improvement in you.
I hope it helps!
Thank You. -

Through your CAT percentile, you are not able to get good B schools but I suggest you give an exam. Of another entrance exam like MAT, SIMB, XAT, etc. -
