I am EWS Engineer Male with 2 years work experience. My raw score in Cat 2025 is 84. VARC - 34 LRDI - 24 QA - 26. X-95 XII-94.5 and B.tech - 80.01. What are my chances to secure IIM LUCKNOW and FMS Delhi calls ?

Ayshwarya Mahadevan 21st Dec, 2025

Based on the details you have shared, here is a clear and realistic assessment of your chances for IIM Lucknow and FMS Delhi, written in a Careers360-style explanatory format.

With a CAT 2025 raw score of 84, your expected overall percentile is likely to be in the range of around 96–97 percentile, depending on the final normalization and difficulty level of the paper. Your sectional scores (VARC 34, LRDI 24, QA 26) suggest that you are comfortably clearing the sectional cut-offs for both institutes, including the QA and LRDI sections, which are often the main concern for many candidates.

For IIM Lucknow, the minimum CAT percentile cut-off for the EWS category in recent years has generally been around 93–95 percentile overall, with sectional cut-offs close to 70–75 percentile. Since your expected percentile is above this range, you are very much in contention for a call. Additionally, your academic profile is strong: Class X at 95, Class XII at 94.5, and a BTech score of 80.01 are all well above average. IIM Lucknow places significant weight on academic consistency and work experience in its shortlisting criteria. With 2 years of relevant work experience, you will receive additional weight, which further improves your chances. Overall, your probability of receiving an IIM Lucknow call is quite good, provided your final CAT percentile remains around the expected level.

For FMS Delhi, the situation is slightly more competitive. FMS gives very high weightage to the CAT score (almost entirely CAT-based shortlisting), and the overall cut-offs are among the highest in the country. For the EWS category, the overall CAT percentile cut-off usually falls in the range of 97–98 percentile, with particularly strong emphasis on the VARC section. Your VARC score of 34 is a positive point, as FMS typically prefers strong verbal performance. However, with an expected overall percentile of around 96–97, you are right at the borderline. This means that while an FMS Delhi call is not guaranteed, it is still possible if the final percentile calculation works in your favour or if the EWS cut-off dips slightly this year.

In summary, you have a strong chance of securing an IIM Lucknow call due to your EWS category, solid CAT score, excellent academics, and relevant work experience. For FMS Delhi, your chances are moderate to borderline, but not ruled out, especially given your good VARC performance. It is advisable that you prepare seriously for the WAT–PI stage while also applying to other top IIMs and reputed non-IIM institutes where your profile would be very competitive.

If I had a choice between a software engineer vs mechanical engineer vs fashion designer. And I had a mindset like i have to earn more in less years . Which should I go for ?

Keshav Dev Singh 6th Nov, 2025

Hey, as a 2nd year Btech CSE student I will suggest you to only choose your career as a software engineer if you are really passionate about this field. You'll only earn more in less time when you're working in a domain in which you're good at. If you enjoy participating in competitive coding, hackathons you can go for a career as software engineer. At the end of the day you'll realise that the only way to earn more in less time is to love the work you're doing.


If we analyze these careers, in termw of which one is more likely to earn faster then we could say the ranking should be


1. Software engineer

2. Mechanical engineer

3. Fashion designer

Choosing a field purely for early pay mighr neglect whether you enjoy the work. So be careful while choosing between these career options.


If you're goal is to earn more sooner, then software engineer is the career where you are most likely to earn more in less time.


All the best

i have scored 58% in class 10th, 74% in 12th,and 80% in graduation. i am non-engineer, general, b.com honors. and having 24 months of experience and if i scored 98% in cat and i have a extracurricular activity ,two-time kvs national player , did there is any chance for IIT Bombay, and IIM Lucknow

Jishan Mondal 30th Oct, 2025

Hello, Getting shortlisted for IIM Lucknow or IIT Bombay (SJMSOM) with your profile is challenging, primarily due to your 58% in Class 10th, which significantly impacts the composite score calculation for both institutes. While your 98 percentile CAT score is excellent, and your 24 months of work experience, B.Com (Hons) background (providing academic diversity, especially for IIM-L), and KVS National player status are valuable additions, top IIMs and IITs heavily weigh consistent academic performance. Your 74% in 12th is also on the lower side. IIM Lucknow places substantial weight on 10th and 12th marks, making a call quite difficult despite your strengths. You likely have a relatively better, though still uncertain, chance at IIT Bombay, as their weighting might be slightly less penalizing for past academics compared to IIM-L, and your high CAT score is a major factor. However, the low 10th score remains a significant hurdle for both prestigious institutions.

I hope you found this information helpful and for study related queries you can ask in careers360 app, Have a great day and!

I have scored 58% in Class 10, 74% in Class 12, and 80% in graduation. I am a non-engineer, a general-category fresher (B.Com), and if I scored 98 percentile in CAT. Did there is any chance for IIT Bombay Shailesh j Mehta School of management

Aahana Rawat 26th Oct, 2025

Hey,

You already have a strong profile with the score of 58% in Class 10, 74% in Class 12, and 80% in graduation, but admission in IIT Bombay, Shailesh J Mehta School of Management is quite competitive, especially if you are in general category because the cutoff for general goes to 98.5-99%. Your CAT percentage is impressive but your 10th marks might reduce your score during the shortlisting process. If you perform well in Written Ability Test and Personal Interview, and present your commerce background you still stand a fair chance. But it would also be wise if you have some backups like MDI Gurugram, IMT Ghaziabad, IMI Delhi, where your marks and profile will fit well in their selection range.

Ive completed my graduation in BA- political science, history and geography and im currently pursuing my post graduation in Msc computer science. Am i eligible to apply for junior engineer exam?

Prachi Kumari 15th Oct, 2025

Hello,

Eligibility for the Junior Engineer (JE) exam mainly depends on the organization conducting it, for example, SSC JE , State PSC JE , or Railway JE .

Generally, the Junior Engineer post requires a Diploma or Degree in Engineering (like Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, etc.) from a recognized university.

Since you have a BA and are now pursuing MSc in Computer Science , you are not eligible for most JE exams because they require a technical engineering qualification , not a science or arts degree.

However, you can apply for other exams related to your background, such as:

  • SSC CGL/CHSL

  • State PSC exams for administrative or clerical posts

  • Bank exams

  • UPSC Civil Services

If you want to work as a Junior Engineer in the future, you would need to complete a Diploma or B.Tech in Engineering from a recognized institute.

Hope it helps !

i got 58% (due to accident) in class and 98 marks in gujcet. Should I get ece branch in government engineer college.

Rahul Mandal 24th Sep, 2025

Hello,

With 98 marks in GUJCET, you have a good chance of getting an ECE seat in a government engineering college in Gujarat, as a score between 80 and 120 is considered good and can help you target a reputed college. However, the 58% may decrease your chances of admission, so you have to take care of it.

I hope it will clear your query!!
