Hello Aspirant,

As a General category with 82.26 percentile, There are very less chance to get a call from any IIMs as for Baby IIMs you also require at least 90 percentile. The other colleges you can have the chance to get a call from

XIME Bangalore

MANAGE Hyderabad

Goa Institute of Management

LIBA Chennai

IFMR Chennai

University Business School, Panjab University, Chandigarh etc.

But as you know that CAT marks are not the only parameter involved in the selection procedure. After CAT exam every college in which you apply prepares a merit list to call students for next round of interview based on your aggregate score which comprises of many parameters such as CAT marks, 10th, 12th and graduation percentage, work experience etc. whose weight age varies for all different colleges. After the round of interview again a merit list is prepared which includes marks of your interview, GD and WSAT which along with CAT marks generally have the highest weightage.

You can also use CAT Pathfinder tool to know your further admission chances.

Hii,

Academic marks are Important and will play a crucial role in getting the Admission to pursue MBA/PGDM in IIM. But the main prerequisite is you should get more than 95 percentile in CAT exam to get Interview call from IIM's. After getting the Interview call from IIM, one should perform well in GD and Personal Interview inorder to get the admission. Your Academics are good, Try to get a good CAT Score.

Hello,

Yes it is mandatory to stay in hostel in first year. After that you can choose not to stay in hostel or you can stay in hostel. You are provided with the choice to stay off campus with the condition that you make your arrangements at your own cost.

Hope this helps,
