As it is one of the eligibility criteria and not the only eligibility criteria. You need to fulfill all the criterias to secure a call for the next round.

Hey,
There could be many reasons for this but to get onto those let us first understand the selection criteria of IIM's. 
The selection is made on the basis of following:
  • Academic profile and how you are rated.
  • CAT percentiles
So, it is initially necessary to have a good academic profile i.e. a good score in class 10th, 12th, and your UG course. This can be one reason that you didn't get a call.
Secondly, if we talk about CAT percentile, getting an overall 82 percentile won't help unless you clear cutoff in both section 1 and 2. This could be another reason for not receiving a call.
 
Apart from this, IIM's also value prior work experience and profile diversity. Having a good work experience and great profile can add up to your chance of getting a call from their side. 
Hope it helps.

Hi

When IIM-A announces its cutoff as 80%(percentile), it means that the minimum required marks are that much.

After that also, a lot of things come into consideration. Like sectional cutoffs, academics, work experience and extracurriculars.

After considering all that, a few top applicants are called for the GD-PI process.

I hope that makes things clear.

Hello,

See we don't know what actually they are actually looking... though this time they had the cutoff of  81 percentile. To be specific no one know what could be the reason but under such circumstance, you can mail the Issue to them... who knows they might consider...
