Hello Aspirant,

Hope you are doing well...

The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) is a group of prestigious management institutions of India. According to the NIRF 2020 report, the top 5 IIMs are:

• IIM, Ahmedabad
• IIM, Bangalore
• IIM, Calcutta
• IIM, Lucknow
• IIM, Kozhikode

These IIMs select candidates based on their performance in the nationally administered Common Admission Test (CAT), performance in the subsequent rounds of Personal Interviews, and past academic performance. Some of the IIMs also give considerable weightage to work experience.

A work experience of 3 to 4 years would be good enough to shield poor academic performance. Additionally, you could take up some certification courses, live projects, internships, etc. All this, along with an exceptionally good CAT score and a good PI performance, can collectively help you land a seat in one of the top IIMs.

With a somewhat Average Academic Record, with a slight dip in Class 12th Marks, assuming youre from General Category, I believe you must target nowhere less than 99 Percentile, for chances to secure a Call for Interview from some of the IIMs as well as have great chances of Call from other Good MBA Institutes like Old IITs, MDI, IMT and many others. Besides CAT, you must also appear for other MBA Entrances like SNAP, MAT, XAT, NMAT as they too are gateways to some of the Top B Schools of India. However, with the kind of Academic Record you have, for a Call from Top 6 IIMs, you might just require a higher Percentile above 99.4-99.5. However, incase youve certain Categorical Advantage, you might require a lesser Percentile.
