Hello,

IIM Ahmedabad doesn't offer integrated MBA Program, there are only few selective IIMs such as IIM Indore/Rohtak/Ranchi which offer integrated MBA through IPMAT for which the eligibility criteria is passed 10th and 12th from a recognized board securing 60% aggregate, in case of reserved categories there is relaxation of 5%, visit the official website at https://www.iimidr.ac.in/ to know more details regarding this.  and from this year onwards even IIM Jammu and Bodh Gaya are offering this course through JIPMAT, to know more details regarding this visit the official at http://www.jipmat.ac.in/home.php

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.

Good Luck!!

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. Also you have not mentioned the percentage of your graduation so it is quite difficult to give you more accurate prediction because percentage in graduation is also considered during shortlisting of candidates by IIMs.
