Dear Moulik,

CAT and GMAT are highly competitive exams.

Apart from the CAT or GMAT scores, to be eligible for even shortlisting (first shortlisting is done, then interviews then final calls), the colleges take academic performance & work experience very seriously.

One of my friends had 99.78%ile in CAT 2018. Academically he was decent securing 77% in 12th(SCI), still, he was not shortlisted by IIM-A & B.

But, apart from CAT and GMAT you still have other exams like IIFT, SNAP, NMAT, and XAT which gives you a call based solely on respective exams score. You just need to clear the cutoffs and you will be called for interview. From there onwards it will be your responsibility to tackle the panels when you will be asked on low academics.

Just continue with your preparations to get a good score in exams. Good luck!
