Yes you need to do exceptionally well in CAT for that matter as your past academic records are not quite great. Aim for 97+ percentile to get a call.

All the best!

Hi Samay,

As per the eligibility criteria of CAT, you should have 50% marks in aggregate in graduation. For SC, ST and other categories, there is a relaxation of 5%. So, you fit the eligibility criteria of the exam. To get into IIM A B & C, the first thing you need to do is score 90 percentile and above in CAT exam. If you meet the cutoff criterion of the top three IIMs, you will be shortlisted for the admission process which includes Writing Ability Test (WAT), Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI). Once you appear for all these rounds, the institutes will rate your profile on the basis of your performance in all the selection rounds. Your past academic performance like marks in 10th and 12th work experience will also be considered before the final selection.
