Should I fill the forms of different colleges before or after the CAT results?

What colleges do I need to register for an MBA before the announcement of the CAT results?
This depends on your profile and scores. If you are confident of scoring a 95 percentile, you can go with tier 1 colleges and few of tier 2 colleges.
If you think you cannot score more than 90 percentile, there is no need to apply for the top colleges.
The selection becomes tough when you are oblivious to any idea about percentiles. This is the case with all applicants as the percentiles cannot be predicted easily. Due to this colleges earn millions without doing anything.
The best you can do is, apply to those colleges which accept the students having percentile in the range of your expected percentile. As a backup you can also apply to a couple of colleges below and above your expected range.
When do colleges call after the CAT result?
After the declaration of the CAT Result, the admission process will be conducted by the 19 IIMs and more than 100 B-schools across India.
Once the CAT result is declared, the IIMs and other participating institutes declare the shortlist of candidates on the basis of the CAT cutoff. The second step of the CAT Selection Procedure will start after this.
So applications for colleges will start after the CAT results are announced.

How much percentage of marks is needed to get a 9+ CGPA in KJ Somaiya College of Engineering (Since it has become autonomous)?
KJ Somaiya does not follow a relative grading system.
Before answering your question let's discuss how to calculate the grade of a particular subject. Every subject has its own credits which are preassigned (1,2,3 etc.). For example
-
- If you scored 90 in math 1, then you'll get a 10 grade point ( anything above 85 gives you 10 grade points).
- The next step is to multiply the grade point and credits (ie. 10*4=40).
- Next add up the results for all the subjects.
- Calculation of CGPA= Added result of all subjects/maximum possible grade point*credit total.
So we can say that securing a 9+ pointer is fairly easy in the First Year at KJ Somaiya. All you need is an average of around 80-85% in semesters and you'll be above the 9-pointer mark.
