I just had a word with Vercel predictor creator and he said I don’t stand a chance in placements At top 5 colleges and those are the only ones I’m targeting

Asked by Mahima Bansal on 2026-08-01 in CAT Prep

My profile 8/7/5 NEF NC-OBC 6 months work ex and 12 months internship in college
This is my profile and I am really scared because of my grad score. My Vercel predictor call was at:
IIM A- 99.78
IIM B- 99.83
IIM C- 97.90
FMS- 94.77

These are the only colleges I am aiming for. He said that he’s from IIM C and 5 is grad is a huge red flag for most companies, and they won’t even shortlist me. And said that his personal advice after going through MBA from IIM C would be to drop cat, can someone please help me?

5 is a big red flag even with non engineer female obc-ncl.

well you have a 5 in your degree so even if we think that it doesn't matter it does matter

It is just the predictor now you should focus on achieving high 99+ percentile to get in top b schools

Can someone tell me what is this vercel predictor ?

Is it some organisation, which lets us know what number to score to get into desired bschool ? Where are these people ? And how one can reach them?
