With a percentile of 87.69 in CAT, and have a more or less average academic record in 10/12/B.Tech, only because you are from OBC Category, I believe you have fair chances in securing a call for GDPI/WAT from Department of Industrial Engineering and Management (IEM) , IIT Kanpur. However, I still believe you would have better chances if you had secured a percentile anywhere between 90-95 in CAT for admission in MBA Programs at any of the Top IITs or Newer IIMs.

Dear student,

If you are currently studying in class 12th and you want to take admission in iit kanpur, then first you have to give jee mains exam.
If you will pass your class 12th in 2021, then you must have to give jee mains 2021. After clearing the cutoff of jee mains 2021, you will become eligible to  give jee advanced exam.

And this jee advanced is the road to IIT. If you secure a good rank in jee advanced, then you will have to attend the josaa counselling, and then as per your jee advanced rank, you will be alloted as seat in iit. And if your jee advanced rank is good enough, then you can get iit kanpur too.

Hello Aspirant,

See according to your category and percentile in CAT you have no chances to get call from any of the IIMs because top IIMs such as IIM A,B,C and so on call the candidates having more than 99 percentile and good academic records and even those seven baby IIMs also have their shortlisting cut-offs around 92-95 percentile but on such percentile you have some chances to get seat in some B-Schools other than IIMs like :-

  • Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad
  • Amrita School of Business, Coimbatore
  • Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow & Jaipur
  • Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International School of Textile Management, Coimbatore
  • Vel Tech Dr. RR & Dr. SR University, Chennai
  • Indian Institute of Health Management Research, Jaipur
  • Christ University, Bangalore
  • FMS, Manav Rachna University, Faridabad
  • IBS Business School, Hyderabad
  • National Institute of Technology, Warangal
  • BIMTECH, Greater Noida
  • Lovely Professional University, Phagwara
  • VIT Business School, Vellore

But also note that for shortlisting of candidates for WAT/GD-PI if there is in the B-School admission process then your academic performance and diversity also comes into play means your academic performance in class 10th and 12th, his graduation percentage, graduation background and Job experience is also considered for admission to IIMs and other B-Schools in India.

To check the cut-off for above mentioned B-schools and complete list of other colleges which you can get on such percentile, kindly check out the link given below :-

Dear student,

Let me tell you that , both IIT Kanpur and IIT Roorkee are one of the best IIT's in India. If you want to go in these IIT's, then your score in JEE Advanced must be very good.

As per the previous year trends and cut-off based data, to join CSE in IIT Kanpur, you have to take a minimum rank of 150 in JEE Advanced, as per your SC category. And if you want to join CSE in IIT Roorkee than you must hold a JEE Advance rank around 250. Getting such a descent rank is very difficult, but not impossible. If you work hard with proper plan and strtegy then you can achieve this goal.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

Well if the mock test is being conducted by IIT kanpur then you can visit the official website and check the results there. The sam eplace where you registered for the exam, there only you can find the results or any other notices regarding the mock tests. Check once and verify.

Helloo aspirant..

One major factor responsible for a lower cut off at IITB is its location. The metropolitan city attracts lots of student. Kanpur ,as a city is a mess. This might be a factor for lower cutoff at IITK....
As both the colleges are good for aerospace engineering ..and have a good reputation...

Hope this will help youu.
Better luck!!

See both the institutes you have mentioned above are the elite institutes of India. So they both have some strategy to select students to keep up their elite status.

So both the exams have some level of difficulties.

In case of JAM to secure a rank under 50 , you have to study a lot and have to solve questions as fast as you can. Also you have to be intelligent enough in identifying the lengthy question given in the question paper to save time. So in JAM the problem solving skills as well as time management are checked in the examination.

Now in case of ISI exams problem solving skills along with theoretical knowledge are tested. In the question papers they include both subjective and objective question so you have not to worry about time management but about the accuracy. After their written examination they conduct interviews to recheck the explanatory ability in a student.

So both the exams have challenges in their own. But as ISI have interview then you will have to work hard regarding that too.

I hope my answer helps you. All the very best for your future endeavors!
