His son also did well in CAT as well as in NMAT, though he belongs to the EWS category, so there are chances for his selection for other colleges as well. Let's discuss his prospects for the colleges mentioned above with the general scenario:
- # CAT Score (91.56 percentile):
Sectionals:
VARC: 87.28; DILR: 86.66; QA: 91.13 Good scores. He has managed a good balance in the sectionals, which puts him over most of the cutoffs.
-
NMAT Score: 238 with clear sectionals:
This score of 238 is super competitive for all the institutes, which recruit on the basis of NMAT. A clear sectional cut will get him under short list categories.

# College-wise Analysis:
1. *GIM (Goa Institute of Management):
GIM accepts CAT and NMAT scores.
For CAT, his 91.56 percentile just scrapes through the general cut-off of 85-90 percentile. Chances of shortlisting would be much more in EWS category
For NMAT: He is competitive for flagship PGDM by GIM with a score of 238 since GIM accepts scores of 230+.
Chances: Very High. He will definitely land up on the shortlist of GIM, especially if he has applied for PGDM in Healthcare Management or Big Data Analytics.
2. Great Lakes Institute of Management:
Great Lakes considers both CAT and NMAT.
For the PGPM (1-year program), they look at 90 percentiles, so he is pretty well placed.
NMAT: He has scored 238. That is pretty much above their general cutoff, roughly at around 220-225.
EWS Benefit: Have to give a lead in the well-balanced cases.
Chances: Going to rock the scene. Grab all the open gates for him in Chennai and Gurgaon

If your boy also thinks over other options too, then these are really awesome.
1. K J Somaiya (Mumbai): NMAT ~230+
2. *TAPMI (manipal): CAT ~85+ or NMAT ~220+.
3. *IMT Ghaziabad:* NMAT ~235+.

# Caution notes at the very end
Your child is in a good position to get into some of the top B schools, such as GIM and Great Lakes. Guide him to put in more effort into preparation for GD/WAT/PI rounds, as these would be the game changers for selection in cases of closely competitive choices.
Let me know if you'd like further assistance in preparing for these rounds or exploring more colleges!
