Please view this answer in browser mode as our app is not tables friendly yet. You haven't mentioned your Category and your Academic profile like your percentages or Grades in your 10th, 12th and Graduation. So this answer will be written in general perspective. ABM is offered in only 2 IIMs namely IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Lucknow. Now IIM A has the following percentiles as the minimum cut offs for 2019 across all Categories.

Category	QA	DILR	VARC	Overall Percentile
UR,EWS	70	70	70	80
OBC-NC, Trans	65	65	65	75
SC	60	60	60	70
ST	50	50	50	60
PWD	60	60	60	70
PWD-ST	50	50	50	60

Now the various ratings for various scores are as follows:

Percentage in the 10th	Rating
<=55	1
>55 and <=60	2
>60 and <=70	3
>70  and <=80	5
>80  and <=90	8
>90	10

Now coming to the 12th, it looks like this for various Streams:

Percentage in the 12th science	Rating
<=55	1
>55 and <=60	2
>60 and <=70	3
>70  and <=80	5
>80  and <=90	8
>90	10

Percentage in the 12th Commerce	Rating
<=50	1
>50 and <=55	2
>55 and <=65	3
>65  and <=75	5
>75  and <=90	8
>90	10

Percentage in the 12th Arts/humanities	Rating
<=45	1
>45 and <=50	2
>50 and <=60	3
>60  and <=70	5
>70  and <=85	8
>85	10

And then the Rating scores for Bachelor's degrees are as follows:

Percentage in Bachelor's degree	Rating
<=55	1
>55 and <=60	2
>60 and <=62	3
>62  and <=65	5
>65  and <=70	8
>70	10

And for professional degrees, the rating scale looks like this:

Percentage in Bachelor's degree	Rating
<=50	1
>50 and <=53	2
>53 and <=55	3
>55  and <=57	5
>57  and <=63	8
>63	10

And then work experience is considered too for those Candidates who have it. The scores from each level of studies are added up. And the no.of Candidates shortlisted per each Category will be as follows:

UR: 100

NC-OBC, Trans: 57

SC: 32

ST: 16

PWD: 6

And after being shortlisted based on these criteria, Candidates have to be shortlisted also for WAT and PI rounds. The whole process can be checked at their page: https://www.iima.ac.in/web/pgp/apply/domestic/admission/selection-process In short you might need more than 95 percentile for IIM A.

hello aspirant ...

The overall lowest cut-off for top IIMs:

You will get a call from IIM if you touch 90 percentile or above (except for IIM A which has a lower cut-off) The overall cutoffs are as follows:

Sr. No.	IIMs	Minimum overall cut-off
1	IIM Ahmedabad	80 percentile
2	IIM Bangalore	90.6 percentile
3	IIM Calcutta	90 percentile
4	IIM Lucknow	90 percentile
5	IIM Indore	90.5 percentile
6	IIM Kozhikode	90 percentile

Most of the new IIMs have their cut-off requirement set at 85 with IIM Shillong having cut-off set at 70 in CAT.

What really matters is the sectional cut-offs for all three sections. You need to have the minimum cut-off requirement for each section, which differs from IIM to IIM. If you get less than that for anyone of the sections, you will lose that call. For IIM A, this sectional cut-off is the lowest,  you need a sectional cut-off of just 70 percentile or above to get a call from them.

If you have a good profile, you have a higher chance of getting a call at a lower percentile, too. Profile in this sense would mean a high percentage / CGPA in your Graduation 10th, 12th and Under. Usually those who have 90 percent and above for all three will be considered for IIM ‘s call (IIM A for sure!) Apart from that if you are an exceptional performer in any extra-curricular activity with awards and recognition, you have a chance of getting a call from IIM.

One surprising fact is the actual cut-off date of IIMs goes on to show that for many IIMs, the actual CAT cut-off is much higher than what institutes announce prior to shortlisting for the further process of the institutes. Except a few of them, the actual interview cut-off of the majority of IIMs falls in the range of 96 to 100 percentile in CAT while the announced cut-off being in the range of 80 to 90 percentile.

hope it helps !

Even if you are graduating as a fresher from these premier institutes, their reputation is highly regarded throughout our nation. If a candidate is passed from either of these premium institutes of India, the candidates is rated highly in the industry because of the faculty of the college & the network the students make in their MBA program degree.

Hello Anil,

Yes you can apply for CAT and get admission in IIM Ahmedabad. IIM Ahmedabad is the top Institute for MBA and it's cutoff is very high every year.
Since you are from bsc which is a non engineering background, extra points are given by the Institute for maintaining academic diversity. This is an advantage for you.

For more information on criteria for CAT and IIMs you can visit the following link:

Hope this is helpful.

Hello there. Hope you are doing good. I would like to tell you that IIM Ahmedabad does not offer integrated program of management. Among all the IIMs, only IIM Indore offers integrated program in BBA + MBA. IPMAT is the entrance exam conducted by IIM Indore for getting admission into its integrated BBA+MBA program.

I hope this solved your query. Good luck for your future.
