Hi All, I want to apply for IIMs and I have a query regarding EWS certificate. I had applied for EWS but I got it in my regional format (marathi). The college I am applying is not accepting this format. And I am confused of how to apply the format that they want. Does that format has any name ? TIA
Hi,
Many institution give the format of the document required in their information brochure or at the official site. So visit the official site of CAT exam. There in the certificate section you will find the format of all the certificate required.
From there download the EWS certificate. And after proper attestation submit it.
Hope it helps.

- Blindness and low vision.
- Deaf and hard of hearing.
- locomotor disability including cerebral palsy, leprosy cured, dwarfism, acid attack victims and muscular dystrophy.

Got 95% in 10th, 77.5% IN 12th, 7.72 CGPA(till 6th sem) , ****CAT 2019 Percentile : 82.26 ****[ VARC : 88.25 , DILR : 75.76 , QA: 72.56 ] , Category : Engg. Male [ EWS ] , can I expect call from NIT Trichy or IITs for MBA/PGDP for Academic Year 2020-22 ?
With 82.26% you can be shortlisted at NIT Trichy going by the previous years' cut offs. IITs are going to be tough because IIT Madras had a cut off of 85.11% in 2019 and IIT Kharaghpur also had a cut off of 85% in 2019. With 82.26%, you miss these 2 IITs by a narrow margin. But you have pretty fair chances at NIT Trichy. Few other Colleges that you may have a shot at are IRM Anand, NIT Durgapur, NIAEM Hyderabad, IIT Dhanbad, etc. You can also check our Pathfinder to check the list of all the Colleges that you may have a shot at: https://bschool.careers360.com/pathfinder/cat

Got 95% in 10th, 77.5% IN 12th, 7.72 CGPA(till 6th sem) , ****CAT 2019 Percentile : 82.26 ****[ VARC : 88.25 , DILR : 75.76 , QA: 72.56 ] can I expect call from IIMs (even baby IIMs) and if not what good college should I opt for MBA/PGDP for Academic Year 2020-22 ?
Hello Aspirant,
As a General category with 82.26 percentile, There are very less chance to get a call from any IIMs as for Baby IIMs you also require at least 90 percentile. The other colleges you can have the chance to get a call from
XIME Bangalore
MANAGE Hyderabad
Goa Institute of Management
LIBA Chennai
IFMR Chennai
University Business School, Panjab University, Chandigarh etc.
But as you know that CAT marks are not the only parameter involved in the selection procedure. After CAT exam every college in which you apply prepares a merit list to call students for next round of interview based on your aggregate score which comprises of many parameters such as CAT marks, 10th, 12th and graduation percentage, work experience etc. whose weight age varies for all different colleges. After the round of interview again a merit list is prepared which includes marks of your interview, GD and WSAT which along with CAT marks generally have the highest weightage.
You can also use CAT Pathfinder tool to know your further admission chances.

Do the new and baby IIMs provide dual specialization? What is the criteria? Please explain.
Hello,
They provide dual degree program to some selected students. For IIM calcutta:- the process is selection through CAT/GMAT score. Then going through other screening tests. If you qualify then you will get an admission. The process will be same for all the IIMs but may be the cutoff mark will vary with respect to campus location.
New IIMs are worth joining as said by the students who joined and they had a good experience there and they adventured many new things. Fee structure and hostel facilities are also good.
For more details you can check the dual degree program in IIM webpage. For IIM calcutta :- https://www.iimcal.ac.in/programs/pgp/double-degree-program/double-degree-program
Hope it helps!
I am an average student (male) with a score of 81% in 10th, 76% in 12th and 62% in my engineering. With 1 year internship and 1 year industrial experience (core mechanical), is there any chance of getting an IIM call (new or baby IIMs) with a score of around 85-90 percentile in CAT? (category-obc)?
Your past academics are just above average but you have an advantage of internship and job experience but still getting in IIM ABC will be difficult because apart from good percentile must also need to have a good academics and if you want to get in new or baby IIMs still you need to get a percentile above 95 at least.Competieon is tough these days so you need raise some marks in order to get into a good B School.
Good Luck
Hey,my CAT percentile is 76 I am from NC OBC my work experience is 2 years & btech background.Will I get call from IIM Amritsar or bodhagaya
It's a little difficult for you to get calls from both IIM Amritsar and IIM Bodhgaya. You need to have a superb profile along with your 76 percentile if you actually want to get a call for the second round of WSAT and interview. And honestly, even if you get a call for second round then you would need to perform out of the box in order to secure your seat in the college. In the second round, you will have a better opportunity because WSAT and Interview marks have highest weightage along with CAT marks in the final list.
All the best!!
What was cat cutoff for IIM Bodh Gaya for OBC-NC.
Its cutoff was 90 percentile for general category (overall percentile) for CAT 2017 as compared to 95 percentile in CAT 2016.
However, in CAT 2017 there was a change observed in the sectional cutoffs wherein they increased.
Here is a comprehensive view of sectional as well as overall percentile cutoffs :
* VA-RC : >80 percentile for general and NC-OBC category, >55 percentile for SC/ST/PWD candidates.
*DI-LR : >80 percentile for GENERAL and NC-OBC category, > 50 percentile for SC/ST/PWD
*QA: > 80 percentile for general and NC-OBC category, 50+ percentile for ST category, 60+ for SC category and 50+ for PWD category.
* Overall cutoff : 90+ percentile for general category, 80+ for NC-OBC category, 65+ for ST category, 75+ for SC category and 65+ for PWD category.
Based on these cutoffs, calls for further rounds of GD-PI-WAT are floated and the final selection is based upon the following criteria :
*CAT score
*Personal Interview
*Writing Ability Test
*Class 12th marks
* graduation marks
*gender diversity
*academic diversity
*work experience.
Wish you all the best!!
