Hello,

To be honest, your class 12th marks doesn't matter that 

Much as they only need to make you eligible for a particular exam.

But, you'll have to work pretty hard to offset that 12th score.

To be good enough for you will most importantly need 99.5+ 

Percentile in CAT and good enough marks in your graduation too.

Though you have to keep in mind that there are some top IIMs which are strict for their 10th, 12th criteria, do not keep many hopes from them.

Good luck!

Hi, 

In order to get IIM calls, you should secure at least 90+ percentile in CAT. While old IIMs like IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Lucknow and Indore calls candidates with 99+ percentile, for the newer IIMs, the cutoff is slightly lesser, but still, 90+ percentile is what the cutoff trend is for General category candidates.

The following articles will help you understand the cutoffs of top B-schools in India:

Generally 85 to 90 percentile is mandatory to get call from IIMs .
