There is not even a single IIM which takes 100% CAT score and ignore 10th 12th marks.

To call a student for next round of interview and WSAT every IIM prepare a merit list based on the  aggregate score of individuals which consists of different parameters like CAT marks, 10th, 12th, graduation percentage, work experience, engineer or non engineer, gender with different weightages for different colleges.

As I have mentioned different weightages for different IIMs so it can be less for some IIMs or more for some IIMs like IIM Indore which gives more weightage to academic records even more than CAT marks.

After WSAT and interview round final list is made again on the basis of different parameters. This time it includes interview and WSAT marks with generally  highest weightage. In this final list there are some colleges like IIM Kozhikode which ignores all other parameters and give all weightage to Interview, WSAT, CAT marks and work experience.

If you don't have a very good academic records then work hard and aim for a very high percentile in order to get a call for next round of interview and WSAT.

All the best for your preparations and exams!!

It depends on the stage of admission. For old IIMs the interview shortlist is declared on the basis of profile of the candidates which include the academics, work experience and other parameters. After the WAT and interview stage the final score are calculated which consists of the various scores like CAT Score, WAT Score, Interview scores and your profile.

For New IIMs (2011) and Newest IIMs(2015) the shortlist for the personal interview round is released purely on the basis of CAT score. It is around 96 percentile for general candidates from last years. After your PI and WAT round a composite score is calculated which includes Score, WAT Score, Interview scores and your profile. Profile consists of 10th, 12th, Graduation percentage etc. Also different institutes give different weightage to 10th, 12th and Graduation scores which vary from 5 to 30 percent of the total score.

It is always recommended to have a good CAT percentile which can give you an interview call and can maximise your chances of final selections.
