Thank you
will i get FMS BHU (IMS BHU) with 49.86 percentile in CAT 2020 ? i am student of SC category.
Dear Student,
based on the last years cutoff for IMS BHU the chances for you to be able to secure a seat in less, however there are colleges where you are eligible to secure a seat and get admission based on your CAT percentile and category mentioned above,
- IMS Ghaziabad
- Dhruva College of Management, Hyderabad
- IIM Sirmaur
- Presidency College, Bangalore
- NSB Academy, Bangalore
- CMR University, Bangalore
- DoMS IIT Madras
As you are well aware that the cutoff for each varies, hence to get a more accurate prediction of college, kindly use the predictor tool provided in the link given below.
Good morning. Ive scored 95 percentile in CAT 2020, with 9.8 GPA in 10th, 82.4 percent in 12th and 7.1 GPA in B.tech with multiple extracurricular and college-level organizational roles. How likely is my acceptance into FMS, Delhi?
Having a more or less average academic record in 10/12/B.Tech and secondly being from the highly competitive GEM (General-Engineer-Male) Category, assuming you are a GENERAL Candidate, I believe you have bleak chances in securing call from FMS Delhi in lieu of your percentile of 95 in CAT.
I would advise you to target newer IIMs, Management Schools of Older IITs like SJSOM IITB, VGSOM IIT KGP, DMS IIT Delhi and IIT Madras as well as Other Good Management Institutes accepting CAT Score like MDI Gurgaon, SPJIMR and IMT Ghaziabad.

Hello Aspirant,
According to your question it looks like you are confused between FMS Delhi and IMS BHU because there is no FMS BHU so if you are asking for FMS Delhi then on such CAT percentile there are no chances for you to get call from FMS Delhi because CAT cut-off for FMS Delhi generally variates around 98 percentile and for OBC category too it's quite high but if you are talking about IMS BHU then there are good chances for you to get call from IMS BHU on such percentile and category because cut-off for IMS BHU generally variates around 85 percentile and also note that the above prediction is made on the basis of previous year's shortlisting data which is subject to change every year depending upon various factors. You can check out the Top B-Schools and their cut-off scores from the link given below :-
https://bschool.careers360.com/articles/top-b-schools-accepting-cat-scores-and-cutoffs
On such CAT percentile (assuming that you have decent record in different sections of CAT as well) and after considering you academic records you have chances in some institutes as well like :-
- Loyola Institute of Business Administration, Chennai
- ABV – Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management, Gwalior
- Delhi School of Management, Delhi Technical University, Delhi
- Institute of Rural Management, Anand
- Motilal Nehru Institute of Technology, Allahabad
- DMS, NIT Trichy
For complete list :- What if my CAT percentile is between 80 and 90? Do I have any chance at top B-schools? (careers360.com)
I hope this information helps you.
Good Luck!!

Hello Prakash,
See PwD is a horizontal reservation category not a vertical reservation category which means that if you belongs to General category and have PwD certificate then you will be considered as General-PwD candidate and as per the latest reservation criteria, only 5% seat are reserved for PwD quota horizontally, so according to your such category and percentile in CAT and after considering all your academic performances, you are eligible for FMS as well as for different IIMs even for top IIMs such as IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Lucknow, etc..
