It is difficult to get admission in S.P Jain, FMS, etc. However, you can try and apply for PGDM courses of Welingkar, SIMSR, etc where GD-PI performance is given more importance. You can also refer to the link below for the list of colleges.

You have good academics, FMS, MDI Gurgaon and S.P. Jain will be hard to crack but ofcourse you can try. Some other colleges like MDI Musridabadh, IMI Delhi, XIMB Bhubaneswar, Symbiosis will be good with 75 percentile in CAT.

Your percentile is very low and you are not eligible for leading B Schools like FMS, MDI, S.P. Jain
At this CAT percentile, you can try, IMT Hyderabad, IMT Nagpur, IFIM, BIMTECH, NIRMA and others.

Just a little hardwork and faith is all what is required for you to achieve that and much more. Now since my childhood friend's brother is pursuing Global MBA in SP Jain School of Global Management (different from SPJIMR), I was quite impressed by the curriculum that this college has to offer.

Hi Saurabh,
First of all, FMS Delhi is not a private B-School. It's a faculty of University of Delhi.
