Hi!

Scoring a mere percentile in the Common Admission Test (CAT) does not give you a guarantee to get an interview call from a top IIM. The institutes offering the MBA/ PGP in India, especially the IIMs have a very complex admission process . These institutes give consideration to a lot of factors while giving an interview call to candidates. These factors include CAT score, Class 10, Class 12, and Bachelor's degree marks, work experience, academic, and gender diversity, etc. If you even score somewhere around 98 percentile in the CAT , this will not mean that you will get a confirm call from top IIMs (specially the top 6 IIMs). However, if you belong to the reserved category, then there are good chances of receiving an interview call from top IIMs at 98 percentile. Therefore, the CAT score is not the only criteria but is one of the criteria for admission to the IIMs.

You can predict your CAT percentile by using the CAT Percentile Predictor 2024 .
