Good Luck!!
Dear aspirant,
As you are from CW1 category and considering your academic results and also that you want to know about the cat percentile to convert FMS delhi. See to get fms you need a very high score in cat atleast 99.6-99.7+ . But it can vary according to some factors.
Hello student,
Each year Indian Institute of Management, conducts Common Aptitude Test or CAT examination to provide admission in MBA degree to various IIMs and business schools.
Actually the cutoff trend changes every year.and it depends upon some factors like total number of students difficulty of paper slot etc. However here is a short cut off percentile list of top IIMs
Hey,
You have a pretty decent academic profile with a very good CAT percentile. Since you belong to obc category you might expect a call from them but being a male engineer can create a problem. But still keep your hopes high. Since FMS consider the overall composite score, converting the call without considering gdpi score might give you lesser chances. You need to get a good score in them too. But as you said the gd might get cancelled due to pandemic but the PI wouod probably take place virtually. Also FMS might release their shortlist by this week tentatively.

Hello Ravi rathod

For your information , I would like to tell you that you should have atleast 90 percentile in cat for getting a call from IIMS and faculty insitute of management studies . I would suggest you to make a proper roadmap and prepare accordingly

Thankyou
Hey,
Well you do have a chance to get an admission if you perform brilliant in your CAT and the subsequent rounds of Fms, DU. FMS do look up for past academic records and give points for it but they don't give it much importance if you do well in your CAT result and then the subsequent rounds of it like GD, PI, extempore speech. You need to give your best and keep a target of getting 99+ percentile and nothing less if you're a GEM (General engineering male).
Hope this helps.
Hey,
Your academics are pretty low to target old IIMs to be very honest. You need to target at least 99% percentile so as to be considered for the interview of old IIMs. That's too not a surety.
Different colleges have different criteria according to which they prepare an Index score for each candidate. And the students securing above the index score are selected for the interview round.
Try to to score as high as possible. Anything below 99 percentile would make it difficult for you.
Hope that helps.
All the best
Thank you.
