Hello aspirant,

In IIM-A/B/C the process is a little tough as compared to other colleges. In this colleges last year cutoff was 99.9% in CAT entrance exam and there are a lot of students who achieve this. I hope you will also be one of them, except this there is category and marks for job experience which adds to a students overall score, see everything has scores even you 10th and 12th marks also along with that you graduation score, CAT score, GD score and PI score are added. All this scores are added and than the selection takes place.

I hope it clears your doubt and you can prepare in the same manner.

You can always use our IIM call predictor, here is the link for the same:

All the best!!

Dear Aspirant,

If you are an engineer then no chance at all getting a call from any of these IIM A,B and C at your academic records. For non engineer too, at your acads it is almost impossible to get a call from any of the three.

I suggest you must focus on getting 99.5 percentile to get into the baby IIMs and the new IIMs like Amritsar, Kashipur, etc.

If you are non engineer then you can get low IIMs at 99.

Hope this helps. Thank you.

Sahil, first things first, it is not a guarantee that 150 marks get you 95 percentile because 95 percentile means you have scored better than 95 percent of the Candidates who appeared for CAT. And even if we go with 95 percentile, it roughly means you scored 90 percentile in each individual section. Now it is not just your CAT percentile that is considered for shortlisting you for WAT and PI. Yor scores in your 10th, 12th, Graduation are also considered. And the stream you have studied in your Graduation, 12th also matter.

After shortlisting the Candidates, the selected Candidates will have to go through WAT and PI rounds. Selection at this stage will strictly be based on the shortlisting of the candidates done separately for each Category ) on the basis of their ‘Final Composite Score. . The numbers selected in different reservation categories will be in proportions mandated by law.

Personal Interview Multiplication Factor (PIF) = 0.50

AWT Multiplication Factor (AWTF) = 0.10

CAT Score Multiplication Factor for Final Composite Score (CATF_FCS) = 0.25

Application Rating Multiplication Factor for Final Composite Score (ARF_FCS) = 0.15

Calculation of Composite Score: CS (Composite Score) = 0.3 (Normalized AR score) + 0.7 (Normalized overall score in CAT-2020) CS = (AR*0.3/30) + (Total CAT score*0.7/300)

Hey there

You have average academics and also your academics is declining so you need to score very good in cat like 99 percentile or above to get iim a,b,c. Usually for these top IIMs you need to score very good but in your case you'll have to be very cautious about your cat percentile if you need these top IIMs.
