Hello,

As per your requirement, i would say that as mentioned above your educational details, you need to be at your very best in each step.

First stage is CAT

In which if you are a general candidate you will have to get atleast 95.5(Cutoff changes every year) to get call from New and Baby IIM.

Coming to Old IIM(BLACKI) many things are considered

10,12, Graduation score .

Work experience.

Gender ( For female Candidates)/Academic diversity (For Non Engg)

Weightage given to above mentioned criteria is different in every college,you can visit the college website to get the details.

So having work experience is always an advantage but like I said the weightage varies.

Final stage.

WAT/PI Stage

The weightage for WAT/PI is usually high in Old IIM close to 50%.

Personal Interview is the one that either make it or break it.

So PI usually decides whether you will get selected or not.

For exact details you can visit the IIM website and check the criteria which will have all the details.

Good luck
