Hello

First of all, Congratulations for your CAT score!!

If your CAT percentile is to be considered only then you could have chances to get a call from IIMs like IIM L, K, I and S. Also, from all new and ultra new IIMs. But, while shortlisting candidates, CAT percentile scores are not only considered. You have to pass through various other filters to get a seat in B-schools.


CAT percentile is not the only parameter involved in the selection process. Every college in which you apply for admission prepares a merit list to call students after CAT result. Merit list is prepared based on the aggregate score which comprises of parameters such as CAT marks, academic record (10th, 12th, graduation percentage, work experience, etc. and the weightage of these parameters varies from college to college.

Since you have not mentioned your academic record, considered if you clear the other admission criteria such as past academic records, work experience and diversity factors, you can get a call from top B-schools which are:

DMS, IIT Delhi
DoMS, IIT Madras
IIM Lucknow
IIM Kozhikode
IIM Indore


All the Best!

Hello,

The chances of getting admissions into top IIMs increases with a percentile score of 95+. Top IIMs such as IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore,  Calcutta,  Kozhikode,  Indore,  Ranchi,  etc.  hold a cut off percentile of 90 and above for candidates of the general category. However,  the cutoff list may vary sometimes due to availability of seats,  difficulty level of exam,  total number of candidates who qualified in the exam, etc.
