Hello,
It is true that more than 90+ percentage in academics will get call from IIM if they score 90+ percentile in CAT but Average academic record is not a barrier in getting IIM.your marks is not good but not that poor either try to score more than 99 percentile to get call from top IIMs.if you score 97 percentile you can get call from old IIM'S like IIM lucknow,IIFT,FMS DELHI.
Instead of pondering over which college you get focus more on your studies to score as much as you can to get top b schools.
what is the minimum CAT score required to get shortlisted for the interview process for FMS for DA ( Differently Abled) students categery?
Hello,
The minimum score required to get shortlisted for an interview in CAT for FMS for the differently-abled student category is nearly 80-85 percentile. The composite score is nearly 25-30. For this year, it's around 19 for a composite score.

Im OBC Male Engineer, Fresher.. I scored 95.35 In CAT 2021 with 93.21, 94.07, 90.6 in VA, DILR, QA resp. 10th- 92.5 12th- 81.08 grad- 75.34 or 8.56/10 in Mumbai University. Can I expect calls drom IIM BLACKI and Fms?
Dear aspirant,
As you have secured 95.35 percentile in cat 2021 and considering you are from obc category let me tell you that it's a bit difficult to get into the BLACKI iims because their cut offs are higher. Even if you get a call then you should be well prepared for the interview.
However various factors are considered while deciding the cut offs like number of candidates appearing in the examination, number of vacant seats in college, previous years cut offs and difficulty level of the paper.
