Yes, of course! The minimum criteria is 75% only. You can surely apply for B. Tech and B.Sc. entrance exams or you may get direct admission in some colleges. For B. Sc( hons.), you can take the entrance tests of many good colleges and universities who admit students on the basis of entrance tests only. 

You can also prepare for the JEE which is an All India Engineering entrance exam. If you score well, you can pursue B.Tech from a reputed NIT or IIT. 12th board marks are not considered now for deciding the rank of students in JEE.

You may like to drop a year for preparing for this prestigious exam if you really wish to study in a good college or there are some good  private colleges having excellent academic and placement records. You can apply for them also. 

Hope this helped! All the best and let me know if you have further queries.

Because for 3 years of work experience your getting 8 marks directly to eligible for a call of WAT (Written Ability Test) and Personal Interview. Following are the criteria for IIM Bangalore and they are in much detail so please go through it once and prepare like it only.

Step 1 : Section wise CAT Percentile Cutoffs

I forgot to mention the college FMS. I am unable to edit the question so mentioning here. What would be my composite score without gd/pi/extempore. And what should be my score in gd/pi to convert the call?

Hey nikhil! Thanks for contacting careers 360.

Congrats on getting good scores.

Earlier, the fms used to have a cutoff on the basis of it's own test. But now the fms cutoff is based on the cat score. The fms cutoff is used to shortlist candidates for group discussion and personal interviews before admission.

The fms cutoff score has increased to 99 Percentile score in the cat.

Hi Vivek!

You have a pretty decent score in both your school and BE and that itself has played a major role in making you get calls from all the IIMs. Since you have not mentioned the category you belong to, it gives a boost considering the fact that the admission would be based only on the pool of candidates in the same category as yours.

First of all, the basic eligibility for CAT is 50% in your graduation and you are in the safe harbor. Getting into an IIM is a different story though. Each IIMs have their own admission criteria and vary accordingly, and the weight given to CAT percentile is also different. Some colleges like IIM Bangalore depend heavily on your academics, which in your case is pretty high, but other IIMs like IIM-Calcutta go easy on the academics and weigh heavily on the CAT.

Since you've got all the calls right now and going by the previous year trends, it is pretty evident that you'd easily convert most of the calls, especially the older IIMs given that you do your WAT/PI very well. All that said, I assume you know the cutthroat competition by now and thus it is not advisable to sit back and relax while waiting for the admission. The game has just begun because irrespective of the category, the students who apply are highly deserving and they will make sure they stand tall while performing in the interviews.

That being said, once you get a call from the IIMs, another obstacle to cross is the PI-WAT. Again, it depends upon different IIMs. Some IIMs like IIM Bangalore and IIM Indore give very less weight for your CAT percentile ( a mere 25%) and others like IIM Udaipur give 55% to your CAT score while calculating your composite score for the final admission. Thus scoring high only in CAT doesn't guarantee a seat and the real game begins only after that. Please spend an ample amount of time reading current affairs, your degree syllabus, your aspirations in life and also about how you will contribute to your peers if you get admission.

Good luck belling the CAT! Feel free to drop in your queries.

Hello Rohith,

The admission process is based on merit list. The criteria states that, " A candidate who have passed 10+2 and have 50% marks in B.A firstyear are eligible for this course."
