Indian Institute of Management Calcutta
Having a more or less Average Academic Background, being from Non Engineering, hence less competitive category, I believe securing anything between 99.4-99.7 will be sufficient to ensure a call from IIMC. For any other General-Engineer-Male, having an average academic background, the Cut is nearly higher between 99.7-100. However, this will only ensure you receive a Call from IIMC. Further you need to nail the GD/PI and WAT to secure your seat at IIMC.

Ideally you should have been eligible or atleast received a Call from 3 of the Top IIMs, BLACKI. Being from Non Engineering Background, and secondly after Securing 99.94 Percentile in CAT, its highly unusual. However, it does happen, and you may have lost points for your average Academic Record as well as Points due to No Work Experience.
However, Do keep hope, as All IIMs have yet not released their Call Lists. Secondly, their are many Excellent Management Institutes other than IIMs like Management Schools of Top IITs like VGSOM, SJSOM, DMS IIT Delhi as well as Top Management Institutes like FMS Delhi, MDI Gurgaon, IMT Ghaziabad, SPJIMR, NITIE and JBIMS Mumbai, and you must participate in the respective application processes.

Hello Aspirant,
See your academic record is average so you need to get little higher percentile in CAT to get either IIM Calcutta or IIM Kozhikode as these IIMs are known as top IIMs and there fore the cut-offs are also quite high. So in order to get a call from either of the IIMs you need to secure your percentile at least 98 or more.
Note that the above prediction is made on the basis of previous year's selection results and only CAT percentile but while shortlisting of candidates for WAT/GD-PI round academic criteria of candidate also comes in play means your academic performance in class 10th and 12th, you graduation percentage, graduation background and Job experience is also considered for admission to IIMs and other B-Schools in India and the cut-offs are bound to change every year depending upon various factors such as the number of candidates appearing in an examination, the number of candidates qualifying an examination, difficulty level of the paper, and so on.

Hello,
As you have mentioned that you belong to OBC category so for getting admission in IIM Calcutta you need to be an excellent student. Your 10th and 12th scores are not that good but since you improved such tremendously I think that the older scores would not affect you so much but you need to score more than 85% overall to get admission.
Hope it helps.
Good luck.
Eligibility criteria to appear for CAT is that a candidate must have passed bachelor's degree from a recognised board. Candidates belonging to general category/EWS/OBC-NCL must score minimum 50% aggregate or equivalent CGPA. Candidates belonging to SC/ST must score minimum 45% marks or equivalent CGPA. Candidates who are appearing in the final year of the qualifying exam are also eligible. So if you score the required percentage you are eligible.
Final admission in to IIMs is based on marks scored in CAT, past academic performance, experience and performance in the interview. As long as you have passed class 10th from a recognised board you will be eligible for the admission provided you must fulfill all other requirements.

The xerox needs to be attested not the originals, They will keep a few attested xerox copies with their record and geive you the original documents, which you'd have to submit in your college. Hope this helps
