Hello there, IIM admission process involves three stages

  • The first stage is the minimum percentile requirements in CAT, which differs from IIM to IIM
  • The second stage consists of WAT (written ability test) / PI (personal interview) or AWT rounds
  • Shortlisted candidates from second round go through the stage where extracurricular activities, work experience , the academic record is weighed.

Top IIM colleges

  • IIM Ahmedabad- for general category the estimated percentile for CAT is above 99, which requires a requirement of constant range of 70-75 marks in all sections of CAT examination.
  • IIM Bangalore- you can get a call at a percentile that is as low as 85 percentile, would be 90 percentile
  • IIM Calcutta- it's estimated cut off percentile is 95and above. IIM Calcutta gives the educational and professional qualifications and work experience a huge weightage.  You have  to score (VARC -75, DILR-80, QA-80). The lowest overall percentile for general category would be 90 percentile.
