I am male B-tech in Industrial engg from IIT Roorkee with CAT 2025 score of 98.89 percentile and each section 95 plus, what are my chances in top 10 B-schools

Hi there,

With a B.tech in industrial engineering from IIT Roorkee and a CAT 2025 score of 98.89 percentile and strong sectionals your profile is solid for top B-schools. For the top IIMs like Ahmedabad and Bangalore, calls for engineers usually go to candidates with near perfect percentiles. Your score is just below that level so you may get a waitlist or borderline call, but your academic background shall play an important role here. IIM Calcutta is slightly more flexible and your overall record will be the determining factor here. For FMS (CAT score focused) you have strong chances, although very high percentiles are preferred. SPJIMR looks at overall profile, including academics, work experience and extra-curriculars so again your background matters in case of a percentile slightly lower than top range (99+). For others like IIM Lucknow, IIM Kozhikode, MDI Gurgaon, and DMS IIT Delhi your profile fits well.
Overall you have a very competitive profile. With careful preparation for interviews and entrance tests, you have a good chance across most top B-schools.

IIM AHMEDABAD- moderate to low chance, USUALLY REQUIRES 99+ FOR GENM

IIM CALCUTTA- high chance only If class 10th and 12th weightage is high

FMS DELHI- low chance, prefers VARC section more

IIM LUCKNOW- moderate to high chance

IIM KOZIKHODE- moderate to high, generally based on your academic profile

IIM INDORE- moderate to high, same as IIM LUCKNOW AND IIM KOZIKHODE

SPJIMER MUMBAI- high chance

MDI GURGOAN- very high

but with these percentile and profile, you are eligible for the new or baby IIMs. Prepare for the interviews now, BEST OF LUCK!

With a CAT 2025 score of 98.89 percentile and a B Tech degree in Industrial Engineering from IIT Roorkee your chances of getting admission into a good B school are very strong. This percentile places you well above the usual cutoff for many IIMs ,IITs and top private management institutes. While the top three IIMs are highly competitive and may require a slightly higher percentile for male candidates you still have a fair chance depending on your overall profile and sectional scores. You are very likely to receive interview calls from several other IIMs, IITs and reputed non IIM B schools especially if your academic record and interview performance are good.
