ApplyPlacements in Top MNCs
Dear aspirant,
Looking at your grades let me tell you that you need to keep your percentile at a higher side because that would benefit in your interview.
If you were to take my opinion to crack top iims you need to keep your percentile atleast 99.5+ to get top BLACKI iims. However it also depends lastly how well you prepare for your interview.
Hello,
You have scored well and you have fair chances of getting seat in Government Colleges, based on previous year's cut-offs.But cut-offs changes from year to year and depends on many factors like
---> Caste Category of the students
---> Number of students appeared in the exam
---> Difficulty level of the exam

Hello aspirant
hope you are doing well and safe. With reference to your query, I would glad inform you that rather than thinking much about the counselling you should focus on the theory part of entrance . But for knowledge , I aware you that counselling is done to allot the seats to students of all over states accroding to cut off of particular college . Counsellings are held in several rounds and followed by spot round . Those students who do not allot any seats or who want to upgrade participate in next rounds and spot rounds
Hope you found this answer informative. Best wishes for your future
Hello Aspirant,
Hope you are doing well.
You academic profile is very average and most liekly despite having work experience you wont likely to get shortlisted for the BLACKI. However you can try a shot for the new and baby IIMs. Thatswhy I should suggest you to get some work experience first. Them after 4-5 years doing MBA would be a better option.
Hope you got the answer to your question. Incase of any queries, feel free to question. Haave a great day!

I hope this information helps you.
Good Luck!!
Hi Rishabh. Considering the marks which you have mentioned, to be on a safe side you would need more than 99 percentile in CAT and 9+ cgpa in your undergraduate. It also depends on your undergrad stream. If you are an engineer, you would need 9+ , for non engineering background like commerce, sciences or arts, even 8+ would work
Hi Rohan,
You definitely stand a chance to get into IIMs A and C. IIM Bangalore gives a lot of weightage to your 10th and 12th marks and for this reason getting into IIM B might be a bit difficult. But for IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta, you definitely stand chance of getting admission.
All that said, you should also be cleared with the fact that in order to get admission into IIM A / IIM C, your CAT percentile should be 99.5 or greater to be on the safe side considering you are a GEM (General Engineering Male).
Hope this was helpful.
Hello,
Yes, 99 and 99+ percentile students with a good profile have more chances of getting a call from IIM ABC. The call is based on your profile and it seems to be good then you might get a call. Moreover, you have work experience it will add extra benefits.
