Hello,



Nothing is impossible so don't worry. You have a good track record till now and congratulations for that. IIMs do look for a epic track record of the students. CAT is one of the greatest filter for the old IIMs to filter out the best minds. The the AWT(Arithmetic Written Test)- WAT (Written Aptitude Test)- GD(Group Discussion) & a PI (Personal Interview) which actually makes IIMs choose the best from the best.





IIMs, especially the old ones, are India's premium institutes because of their great quality of education, faculty and infrastructure. The results are clearly seen from the students graduating from those colleges.



So if they are making brilliant managers, they require the best minds of India, hence the CAT which is a race against time and packed with negative marking scheme and tests endurance, accuracy and focus. So CAT becomes a major filter for IIMs to filter out the best minds and then filtering them even more by WAT/GD-PI process before admission.



Your basic 10th,12th scores do fit into the IIM minimum eligibility criteria.



Your track record is surely good. Work Experience is advised but not having one won't create any Problem for your selection cause most of the pervious 1-2 year batches have 50% of freshers.



I would suggest you focus on cracking the CAT. And prepare well for the AWT-WAT & PI.



Hope this helps.



All the best!

Hello Devanshi,

The chances of getting into IIMs, firstly depends upon your CAT score and then on the performance in GD/PI rounds, and then on your academic performance of 10th, 12th and graduation. So, though you have good academic score throughout, start preparing for CAT exam as it is the primary gateway to IIMs. CAT percentile will determine your way towards IIMs and other top B-schools. Once you score above 90 or 95 percentile in CAT, you would have to crack Group Discussion and Personal Interview rounds in IIMs. During this time, your academic score would be checked and then final admission list would be declared.

I hope that this information is helpful to you.

If you need further clarification do write in comments.

All the best..!!!
