SHOULD I JOIN THESE OR GO FOR CAT 2025 AND TARGET 99.9 PERCENTILE
supratim : If you want to do HR then go for TISS. Be sure though that you want to do HR. Otherwise you have to decide if IIM Ranchi or CAT 25. However competition will be same in CAT 25 too. Your academics in 12th and graduation may still work as a deterrence for some IIMs.
