Hello. To get into IIM Calcutta, one must appear for the CAT exam. Based on your CAT score, they will call you for the interviews. In the interview, you can explain why you failed.

My advice is to prepare hard for the CAT examination and score as high as possible.

Hope you get a seat in IIM Calcutta.

All the best.

Hello, I understand that you are interested to get into the prestigious IIMs. As I can see, you are eligible for IIMs. However, you will need to clear the CAT cut offs to be able to get the final interview call. You can check out the detailed eligibility criteria for admission in IIMs in this link. https://bschool.careers360.com/articles/iim-admission-criteria

Dear Subham,

First of all, I would like to tell you that IIM Calcutta accepts CAT exam score and they have certain cut off for each category, for the general category, it is 90 percentile. Any college accepting CAT score whether it is an IIM college or any other has basic criteria of cut off percentage for graduation, 12th, and 10th. For graduation, it is 50% minimum to even appear for CAT exam. Since you qualify the basic criteria hence you are eligible for MBA in finance and accounting in IIM Calcutta (you choose your specialization in the second year of the program)

But keep this in mind that IIM Calcutta comes in the first tier of colleges which makes it difficult to get admission. Since your graduation marks are not that great so to even get a call from IIM Calcutta for the interview you need to get excellent percentile in CAT i.e much more than 90 percentile and improve overall profile if it is possible.

I hope this answer solves your query.

As of now, IIM Indore is the only IIM to have an undergraduate course which is a five-year post graduate diploma called Integrated Programme in Management (IPM). It has the same eligibility criteria as 12th standard. Candidates need to score 60% marks in HSC or 10+2 for general category and 55% for reserved category students. IIM Calcutta doesn't have this provision. So, you can't take admission into IIM Calcutta after class 12th.

Good luck.

Hi Varun!! I am really sorry to inform you that if you're unable to show your degree you'll not get admission in IIM Calcutta and not only there you'll not get admission in any master's degree program in any college as without bachelor's degree none of the colleges will allow you to study Masters in any of the subjects. I wish that everything gets sorted soon and you get admission.

Hope that helped.Thank you
