hi,
see if we have to predict college based on your cat percentile, you have decent chances for selection of IIM ahmedabad, iim bangalore, iim kolkata , iim lucknow etc.
however iims has selection based on the section wise cat percentile, candidates over all academic records, work experiences etc. so it would depends on the particular institute and their eligibility criteria for that particular years. based on students review because of average academic records apart from scoring hign in CAT, candidates may not select for top iims like ahmedabad, bengalore, kolkata etc.
however do not loose hope, there is many others institute available and you can get tier 1 institute if you have good cat score. so sincerely prepare for the upcoming exam.

Good Luck!!
Hi , i have scored 97% in 10th and 94% in 12th & 83% in my graduation (bsc agriculture ) i really wanted to do my MBA In agri business management from IIM Bangalore . could you please suggest me on how to get into iimb?
Agribusiness Management is a study related to system-wide business and managerial functions in Agrisector business. Many prestigious B-schools offer this course.
As you have asked about the selection process for agri business management it is done through CAT. It is a Common Admission Test conducted by IIMs. Based on your CAT score IIM shortlists candidates for their second stage of selection. The selection process includes a written ability test (WAT) and a personal interview(PI). IIM consider previous academic records , relevant work experience while shortlisting and ranking them at various stages during the admission process.The MBA course in agribusiness management in IIMs is called post- graduation program in food and agribusiness management (PGP-FABM).
Currently, it is offered by two IIMs-IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Lucknow. IIM-B doesn't offer this course. But you can do your MBA from any of this two after qualifying CAT as these two are also the best Bschool in India giving excellent academics and placement.
I want to join iim Bangalore ??
Dear candidate, admission in IIM Bangalore can be taken through CAT/GMAT/GRE. CAT 2021 notification will be released on July 25, 2021 (Tentative). After clearing CAT exam, you need to clear a personal interview. For more information of cat exam, you can check: https://bschool.careers360.com/exams/cat https://bschool.careers360.com/articles/iim-admission-criteria#IIM-Bangalore-Admission-Criteria-202123
GMAT 2021 and GRE 2021 registration has started already.
Hope, it helps!
I have 80% in class 10th and 66.7% in class 12th from TS board. Are my academics too low for IIM A/B/C? Thank you in advance.
Hello Aspirant,
The academic record mentioned by you is quite average for getting calls from IIMs but yes if you score your CAT percentile more than 99.5 than you will have good chances to get call from the top known IIMs like IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta and so on. Also you have not mentioned the percentage of your graduation so it is quite difficult to give you more accurate prediction because percentage in graduation is also considered during shortlisting of candidates by IIMs.

I have 80% in class 10th and 75% in class 12th from up board. are my academics too low for iim A/B/C?
Hii..
There is no such type of restrictions for 10th and 12th but academics play a very important role in your selection especially for top 5 IIMs they give weightage to academics score. So it is very important that you should have minimum 80% then only you can expect calls from A/B/C.
Academics, work experience, extra curricular activities, any other achievement also keeps important role in your selection.
