Hello,

Here are reasons why your profile is not matching for IIM in spite of 98.9 percentile:

• General category cutoffs : Top IIMs often need 99+ for general pool.
• Sectional cutoffs : One weak section can block shortlist.
• Academics : Class 10/12/grad marks carry weight, lower scores reduce chances.
• Profile diversity : Male engineers face tougher competition.
• Work experience : Many IIMs prefer candidates with relevant experience.
