Hello,

Nothing is impossible so don't worry. You have a good track record till now and congratulations for that. IIMs do look for a epic track record of the students. CAT is one of the greatest filter for the old IIMs to filter out the best minds. The the AWT(Arithmetic Written Test)- WAT (Written Aptitude Test)- GD(Group Discussion) & a PI (Personal Interview) which actually makes IIMs choose the best from the best.


IIMs, especially the old ones, are India's premium institutes because of their great quality of education, faculty and infrastructure. The results are clearly seen from the students graduating from those colleges.

So if they are making brilliant managers, they require the best minds of India, hence the CAT which is a race against time and packed with negative marking scheme and tests endurance, accuracy and focus. So CAT becomes a major filter for IIMs to filter out the best minds and then filtering them even more by WAT/GD-PI process before admission.

Your basic 10th,12th scores do fit into the IIM minimum eligibility criteria.

Your track record is surely good. Work Experience is advised but not having one won't create any Problem for your selection cause most of the pervious 1-2 year batches have 50% of freshers.

I would suggest you focus on cracking the CAT. And prepare well for the AWT-WAT & PI.

Hope this helps.

All the best!

Dear Sachin IIM is the most prestigious colleges of our country and the admission process is also tough and the cut off marks for getting admission in IIM is very high if you want to join IIM after 12th you must have more than 65 marks or your name in the list of top 10 students of your board exam.You can join after graduating through CAT exam.

All the best   

Hi Sachin,

As per your score in 10th and 12th you are definitely eligible for IIM college. For every IIM their weightage is different but you have nice score so don't worry you are eligible for admission . 

All the best !!
