IIM Ahmedabad (IIMA) All Questions

Hi,

Admissions to IIM is based on the CAT percentile. The cut-off percentile for IIMs differ every year based on mainly 5 factors i.e. the difficulty level of the exam, number of test takers, candidates qualified, number of seats and the institute's ranking and reputation.

As you want to know specifically about IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Bangalore, as per the previous years i e. 2018's cutoff, you will need to score 80 percentile in CAT if you are from general, 75 percentile if you are from NC-OBC cum transgender category, 70 percentile if you belong to SC and PwD category and 65 for ST.

In case of IIM Bangalore, you will need to score an overall percentile of 90, 80, 75, 70 and 60 if you are from general, NC-OBC, SC, ST and DA categories respectively.

Hello,

You have a pretty good chance of getting a call form the 3 top IIM of the country that is A/B/C. There is a good weightage for your board amd graduation marks. But no one can guarantee you a call from these prestigious institutes. Because there are many people applying for these colleges. You should try to get as much high percentile as you can get because a 0.01 more can give you a seat. 

But overall your chanyare good.

Dear aspirant, you must have to score above 98 percentile to be called from the top IIMs. The reason is simple, you have got less marks is graduation. The IIMs look for the overall score. Whether it's your class 12th, class 10th, or graduation. If you have got less in graduation then do well in CAT to make your overall score better. And now a days the IIMs have given more wieghtage to extra corriculars like your PI for selection. So don't worry do well in CAT.

All the best 

Hope this helps
