Dear candidate ,
- General category : Aim for a CAT percentile of 98-99.5%ile .

- EWS Category : Aim for 90-98%ile .
- SC/ST/PwD categories : Percentile requirements are comparatively lower but still competitive.

Yes , but you need a 99+ CAT percentile to compensate for low 12th marks (56.2%).

FMS Criteria: CAT (50%), Academics (30%), PI & Extempore (10%), Work Exp (10%).

Strengths: Diploma (72%) and B.Pharm diversity may help.

Challenges: 12th marks may lower academic score.

A strong CAT score + good PI can improve chances. Consider MDI, IMT, or new IIMs as backups.

Greetings! Here's a detailed response to your query

Okay, so you're a bit confused about what to put in those CAT, FMS, DSE, and IIFT forms regarding your 12th scores. Since you did CBSE, they usually only consider your final 12th standard marks.

Even though you did great in 11th, scoring 495 out of 500, for these entrance exam forms, they're specifically asking about your 12th board exam marks .You mentioned you got 400 out of 500 in 12th, which comes out to 80%.

Therefore, when filling out the forms for CAT, FMS, DSE, and IIFT, you should enter 80% as your 12th percentage. The aggregate of 11th and 12th isn't typically what they're looking for in these sections. They want to know how you performed in your final board exams. So, stick with the 80% from your 12th results. Good luck with your applications!
