Good Luck!!

Hello,

Your scores are quite impressive but even if you get 99.5 percentile then also selection in not guaranteed in any of the IIMs. First of all you will have to clear the sectional Cutoff of IIMs. Remember every IIM has a different sectional Cutoff and every IIM weightage pattern is also different. There are three sections in CAT, VARC, LRDI and QA. Basically you will have to score minimum 75-80 Percentile in every section and atleast 95-99 percentile to get a call from Indian institute of Management, Lucknow.

Now, if you successfully cleared sectional Cutoff, there will be three more rounds i.e. WAT, GD (Group Discuss) and PI (Personal Interview) round. Since you are a from a Non Engineering background you will get additional marks.

Good Luck

Ideally you should have been eligible or atleast received a Call from 3 of the Top IIMs, BLACKI. Being from Non Engineering Background, and secondly after Securing 99.94 Percentile in CAT, its highly unusual. However, it does happen, and you may have lost points for your average Academic Record as well as Points due to No Work Experience.

However, Do keep hope, as All IIMs have yet not released their Call Lists. Secondly, their are many Excellent Management Institutes other than IIMs like Management Schools of Top IITs like VGSOM, SJSOM, DMS IIT Delhi as well as Top Management Institutes like FMS Delhi, MDI Gurgaon, IMT Ghaziabad, SPJIMR, NITIE and JBIMS Mumbai, and you must participate in the respective application processes.

Hello Aspirant,

As we know that IIM A and B are known as the top IIMs of the country and to get into this a good academic record as well as CAT percentile is needed.

Good Luck!!

Hi, firstly, I am assuming that by 58 and 72 you mean 58 percent and 78 percent.

So, there are some prerequisites which you must be elligible for in order to apply for certain colleges. Again, assuming IIM L means IIM Lucknow,

Remember that all IIMs have their own (and therefore different) selection criterias. While a particular IIM might consider CAT score as the most important criterion, some other IIMs might prefer to give more weightage to academics or work experience.

Also, everything is relative as your chances of getting selected depends majorly on the pool of candidates. These factors might end up being the differentiating factors between you and someone similar to you

As a student studying in an IIM myself, being of the OBC category might lead to a chance at getting through to the next stage, though if the selections are more academically inclined this year, then the chances of getting a call are a bit slim.

All the best!

It is bit complicated process as for the initial calling IIM Lucknow gives 60% weightage to CAT score and 20% to Graduation and Class XII. , no class X weightage. Remaining 20% are distributed between Work Experience and Academics Diversity.

For the final Selection 55% to the GD and PI and remaining to the other's.

First try to score 98.5 or above percentile then you can do the Mathematics.

All the best!!

Hello,
Firstly I congratulate to you to get good score in 10th, 12th and ug . To persue PGP - ABM you should get percentile in the CAT is for
General = 85
NC - OBC = 77
SC = 65
ST = 60
PWD = 60
EWS = 77
I hope you will get your answer what you want .
All the best for your future.

Dear Aspirant,

Only academic scores are not enough to crack IIMs. You have to obtain qualifying percentile in CAT to get admission in IIM C or IIM I . Your academic scores are quite good. In simple terms, IIMs give a certain weightage to each score along with CAT Percentile, WAT, GD, PI, work experience. So there are certain criteria's on which the admission is done. For now, you are eligible but keep in mind to score in other criteria as well.

Good Luck

No there won't be any problem until and unless you are applying for the course which you have failed in, i.e if you have failed in Biology (PCMB) then you can't apply for MBBS.

Coming to the CAT issue, let me tell that for the initial Calling in IIM L only 20% weightage is given to class 12th and Graduation remaining 80 is divided between CAT score(65%) and 15% (Work Exp.).

FMS Delhi gives CAT score a weightage of 95% or sometimes 100%
