While your overall academic record is commendable, it's challenging to predict whether you'll be admitted to IIM Ahmedabad (IIM A) without considering other factors.
Here's a breakdown of the typical admission criteria for IIM A:
Given the high competition for IIM A, it's advisable to aim for a very high percentile in the CAT and focus on building a strong overall profile. While your academic record is good, it might not be sufficient to secure a seat without excelling in other areas.
I recommend exploring the official IIM A website for detailed information on the admission process and criteria. This will give you a better understanding of what is expected from applicants and help you tailor your preparation accordingly.

See since you are from arts background, and you also have a good academic record (barring your graduation percentage), so you can get a call for interview even a slightly lower percentile.
According to the previous trends, you can easily get into IIM Ahmedabad even at a percentile in the range of 92 to 95, which is a safe estimate for your admission in the OBC NCL category.
Hope I have answered your question. All the best!
Dear Aspirant,
Yes, if you get above 98%ile then you can get a call from the top IIMs because you have a great score in your graduation as well. But it also depends on your gender and your category. For example, you’re a non engineer so you can get calls at 98%ile too. But if you’re not from general category then you can get calls at a lower percentile as well. So be sure to check the cutoffs of the colleges you’re targeting according to the category you belong to.
Hi,
Undoubtedly IIM Ahmedabad is better. IIMA has a better reputation, faculty and placement.
IIMA is currently the best college for MBA in India.
Your past academics are quite good, especially your class Xth marks. Now, since you belong to the Person with Disability, or the PwD category, thus you have almost every chance to get into the revered halls of IIM Ahmedabad, as all the institutes of National Importance, including IIM Ahmedabad have a special quota reserved for PwD candidates, and the lack of such candidates makes the selection even more easier.
So, prepare well and give CAT and interviews confidently, and you'll definitely succeed. All the best!
Hello Abhijit,
Hope you are doing well,
To answer your question, YES, you can definitely get a call from IIM A for FABM program.
You seem to have done pretty decent in academics. You definitely clear all the cut-off's, you just need to clear the CAT cutoff, and follow the rounds that follow.
Hope I answered your query.
Good Luck.
