A CAT percentile of 99.64 is an excellent score and definitely places you in a strong position for top IIM calls, including IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, and IIM Calcutta. However, admission to these institutes is not based on CAT score alone. Each of these IIMs follows a holistic selection process that considers your academic profile (Class 10, Class 12, and graduation marks), work experience, academic diversity, gender diversity, and performance in the Written Ability Test (WAT), Personal Interview (PI), and sometimes group discussion.

With a 99.64 percentile, you are very likely to clear the CAT cutoff for IIM A, B, and C, especially if you also meet their sectional cutoffs. Whether you finally convert a call depends on factors such as consistency in academics, quality and relevance of work experience, and how well you perform in the interview stage. For example, IIM Ahmedabad places strong emphasis on academic consistency, while IIM Bangalore gives considerable weight to work experience, and IIM Calcutta balances CAT score and academics.

In summary, yes, you can definitely hope for calls from IIM A, B, and C with a 99.64 percentile, but final admission will depend on your overall profile and interview performance. It is advisable to prepare seriously for the PI/WAT stage and also keep other top IIMs and leading B-schools as strong backup options.

Hello,

Yes, with a 99.64 percentile in CAT 2025, you have a strong chance for IIM ABC (Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta) calls, but it's not guaranteed; admission heavily depends on overall profile, including academics, work experience, etc. Still, you have a good chance with your percentile.

I hope it will clear your query!!
