Hi, what percentile an NC-OBC female candidate should aim in CAT 2022 to get into IIM Ahmedabad? My profile is : 95/97/83. And I am from Arts background.
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!
70.80 % in 10th and 83.23% in 12th (commerce) and 9.60 out of 10 points in graduation (b.com in finance) will I get a call from IIM A,B,C considering I get the appropriate CAT score (>99.5%)
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.
