ANSWER – Dear Mr. Rahmat Siddiqui, as you have just appeared in your BBA final semester examinations and waiting for the results. It’s good that you are assured about your result; I wish you all the best for your results. As you are waiting for your results which may be declared till next month. In this case I will suggest you to prepare well for Sept. MAT 2010. You have enough time for that and no extra burden like college, internals, externals etc. So, the best possible way to make your career better is to get focused for SEPT.MAT 2010 and improve your percentile. It will help you to move in much better college than any college you will get through UPTU with 17528 GEN rank.

Now, about the colleges which you may get with this rank – You have two options, either move to some average college recognized by UPTU within your range (location) or you can try Management Quota which is going to costly, very costly.

I want to know which colleges I should apply to, as there are several colleges and in different magazines there are with different rankings. So I am confused. Please help me.

- Mamta Saxena, New Delhi

ANSWER – From your academic record it is indeed clear you are good at studies. But your MBA entrance tests results are creating a hindrance to move ahead. If you have time then I would suggest you to reappear with good preparation. However, if you want to move ahead then you should apply to colleges with your XAT score, as it is the best. Regarding the rankings of the colleges, I would suggest you to look into top ranked B-schools in some well known magazines as well as comparing it to the data available on internet finding out the status of the same B-school in other national and International level surveys. Don’t get trapped into results of surveys conducted by local magazines as the results are misleading. In these surveys the results will start varying after TOP 20 colleges of INDIA.
