I scored 19.97 percentile in CAT, 53 marks in CMAT and 154 marks in NMAT. Can you suggest a good college for PGDM?

The best option is to retake the tests again next year. The college that would be willing to accept these scores are very ordinary ones. You will end up wasting 2 years and a lot of money with nothing to show for it.
Best of luck. -

Ideally, you should consider appearing for the exams again. However, your NMAT score looks good. If you want a good PGDM college, then you may consider colleges which gives more importance to GD/PI or apply through management seats. -

6 years agoIf you really want to do PGDM, only then I would suggest to apply on the basis of your NMAT score. But, if you want to apply on the basis of CAT or CMAT, then I would suggest that you should give it another try, because based on this score, you will not get a good Institute. -

JIMS
IILM
Institute of Rural Management Jaipur

I'll get right to the point and avoid using flowery language or anecdotes in my response the scores are slightly on lower side but school of inspired leadership, SOIL is a B school that is distinct from the rest of the MBA crowd in that it not only offers a formal business curriculum but also focuses on overall personality development by emphasising values. The PGP programme is well-known among large corporations and start-ups alike. Second, the faculty is world-class and on par with that of other top MBA schools. Third, it is a demanding programme that necessitates a lot of late-night episodes!
