Dear Aspirant,

If you are aiming for IIM ABC ( Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta ) and Faculty of Management Studies, Delhi, then you have to score a minimum of 98 percentile. You can get it even at 95 percentile but since your graduation marks are low, you have to score a minimum of 98 to get a call from anyone of the above mentioned colleges.

hope this helps. Thank you.

What will be the fees structure for completing 2 years of MBA

IIMs shortlist candidates for the interview stage based on their own criteria, which may be independent of each other. The process may include Written Ability Test, Group Discussion, and Personal Interviews. Performance in the CAT examination is an important component in the admission process. IIMs may additionally use other factors such as the previous academic performance of the candidates, relevant work experience, gender and academic diversity and other similar inputs in shortlisting and ranking of candidates at various stages of the admission process. The processes, academic cut-offs and the weights allocated to the evaluation parameters may vary across IIMs.

After shortlisting the Candidates, the selected Candidates will have to go through WAT and PI rounds. Selection at this stage will strictly be based on the shortlisting of the candidates done separately for each Category ) on the basis of their Final Composite Score. . The numbers selected in different reservation categories will be in proportions mandated by law.

Personal Interview Multiplication Factor (PIF) = 0.50

AWT Multiplication Factor (AWTF) = 0.10

CAT Score Multiplication Factor for Final Composite Score (CATF_FCS) = 0.25

Application Rating Multiplication Factor for Final Composite Score (ARF_FCS) = 0.15

After the AWT & PI round, admission offers are made by IIMA to successful candidates. The final selection is based on a diverse set of attributes which includes performance in CAT, performance in AWT & PI, academic, co-curricular and extra-curricular achievements, work experience, etc.

For IIM-B:

For all the Candidates shortlisted, the 10th and 12th board results are initially adjusted by dividing each such score by 90th percentile score of that board. And then an adjusted score is calculated for the Bachelor's degree for each of the candidates based on the final scores obtained by the candidate are used for the Bachelor's degree and professional degrees. For example,

CAT = 40

10th board = 20

12th board = 10

Bachelors = 20

Gender Diversity = 2

Work Experience = 8

The 40 points for CAT are derived from the performance in each of the three sections as follows:

Verbal & Reading Comprehension - 14 points

Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning - 16 points Quantitative Aptitude - 10 points.

Hello Himel, Greetings!

CAT cutoffs for any individual IIM is not a single number and they vary highly depending on your profile.

IIM-A insists much on diversity so cutoff %ile depends on other people's marks of the same field. Academic scores(10th, 12th and Graduation) above 80–85% is kind of must. In CAT, Mostly for engineers it is above 99 %ile and for fresher boys it is even higher. Non engineer girls with a good profile can expect a call at 96–97%ile also.

IIM-B puts a lot of emphasis on work experience so for freshers it is way too tough. Equal emphasis on Academics like Ahmedabad.

IIM-C is most flexible with work ex and acads compared to A and B. CAT is usually above 99 %ile.

IIM Indore’s call is most specifically dependent on your 10th and 12th marks and those having a low score in it ( below 87–88) should not expect a call at any CAT %ile.

For new IIMs, there is a common interview which you have to appear if you have no call from old IIMs. They usually have a cutoff around 96%ile.

Thank you, hope this helps.

Hello shashank

It will depend on the scholarship you are eligible for mostly students gets scholarship in a range of 2-6 lakhs over the course which means they need to pay 15 lakhs as fees to IIM(any ).

There are many scholarships provided by different organisations and also from government.

You have to pay atleast half of the fees of course.

I hope it helps

Hello,

It is mandatory for the candidates who wish to pursue MBA from IIM Bangalore must register and apply for CAT 2019 before September 18, 2019 and must appear in the CAT 2019 exam on November 24, 2019. A balanced score in all the three sections of CAT 2019 and good academic profile is the key to get admission in IIM Bangalore.

Hey Aashutosh! There is different eligibility criteria for different specializations. According to the general eligibility criteria the candidate must hold a bachelor's degree, with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA. In case of the candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC)/ Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Differently Abled (DA) category, this is relaxed to 45%. The candidate may possess an equivalent qualification recognized by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India.

Candidates appearing for the final year bachelor's degree / equivalent qualification examination and those who have completed degree requirement and are awaiting results can also apply. The candidate is required to have obtained at least 50% marks or equivalent (45% in case of candidates belonging to SC/ST/DA category) based on latest available grades/marks. 

Hey Aspirant!

Your score is not up to the mark, to be very honest. Because your score in 10th, 12th and in graduation matters a lot to get shortlisted in the IIM. But you may apply for CAT af course but to get shortlisted you must have to score above 99.5 percentile or may be 99.8 to get the chances of getting calls. Because there are lots of students who apply for CAT at the same timw you do. 

So there will be hard competition with these marks you have scored. Please don't get offended. Try hard, practice a lot to get to the 100 percentile, not any college will regret calling you.

Thank you.
