I'm student of B.Tech. & got 72,72 in my 10th & 12th. Is there any chance to get IIMA?

Assuming, your a GEM (General-Engineer-Male), having a somewhat average academic record in 10th/12th/Graduation, you still have fair chances in securing a Call from Top 3 IIMs, ABC, provided, you have a significantly high CAT Percentile, atleast above 99.9. If not IIMA, securing a 99.9+ Percentile will surely lead you to Calls from some of the Other best 6 IIMs including IIM B, C, K, I, L, S and others.

One of my very close Seniors at a college, had a academic record of 88/80/6.27 CGPA in 10/12/Grad, secured a CAT Percentile of 99.91, and secured Interview Calls from IIM A and IIMC.

my acadmics are 83/75/85 so how much persantile is required for iim A,B,C and FMS delhi? i am belong from enginerring baground and i am also in EWS catagoru.

Hello,

You must be aware that apart from CAT percentile, a candidate's past acadamics is also very important when it comes to admission in IIMs. Your past academic good, so you have some chances if you can get a percentile of 98-99 then you can surely get a call from IIMs and yes ofcourse also prepare for GD and PI too.

I hope this helps.

I've 80% in SSC , 66.7% in 12th class, and 70% in BBA . Am I eligible for IIM's A/B/C?

Assuming youre a General Category Aspirant/Non Engineer with a Somewhat Moderate Academic Record, even if you secure 99.5+ in CAT, you have somewhat low to moderate chances to secure a call for Interview at IIM A/B /C. Still you must have hope and target a Great CAT Percentile of atleast 99-99.5+ if youre targeting any of the Top 6 IIMs. You effectively need to compensate your average academic record in UG and SSC/12th with your CAT Percentile in Aggregate.

You must also appear for other Entrance Exams like MAT, XAT, IIFT as well as GMAT if youre internested in MBA Abroad.

Hello Aspirant,

The academic record mentioned by you is quite average for getting calls from IIMs but yes if you score your CAT percentile more than 99.5 than you will have good chances to get call from the top known IIMs like IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta and so on.

is CAT exam necessary for MBA in IIM A after CA ???

Hello,

The answer is, Yes. Whoever is willing to take admission into any of the Twenty IIMs whether it's Ahemdabad campus or any other campus, a candidate must appear for CAT. CAT is a exam which is conducted by IIMs in rotation. But one has to fulfill the eligibility criterias or sectional Cutoff to get a call from IIM Ahmedabad. One have to score minimum 95 percentile and 85 percentile in all the sections like LIDR, QA, VARC.
