Good Luck!!
I have 90.6%in 10th , 96%in 12th and 7.8cgpa in BA political science and I am genreal category male with no work experience. Will getting 99.5+ percentile guarantee my selection in IIM lucknow?
Hello,
Your scores are quite impressive but even if you get 99.5 percentile then also selection in not guaranteed in any of the IIMs. First of all you will have to clear the sectional Cutoff of IIMs. Remember every IIM has a different sectional Cutoff and every IIM weightage pattern is also different. There are three sections in CAT, VARC, LRDI and QA. Basically you will have to score minimum 75-80 Percentile in every section and atleast 95-99 percentile to get a call from Indian institute of Management, Lucknow.
Now, if you successfully cleared sectional Cutoff, there will be three more rounds i.e. WAT, GD (Group Discuss) and PI (Personal Interview) round. Since you are a from a Non Engineering background you will get additional marks.

WHY I DID NOT ELIGIBLE FOR TOP 6 IIMS 69 % IN 10TH 63% IN 12TH 99.72 % IN BSC 99.94 % IN CAT IIM BANGALORE IIM KOZHIKODE IIM AHMEDABAD IIM CALCUTTA IIM LUCKNOW ARE DIE NOT ELIGIBLE WHY ????
Ideally you should have been eligible or atleast received a Call from 3 of the Top IIMs, BLACKI. Being from Non Engineering Background, and secondly after Securing 99.94 Percentile in CAT, its highly unusual. However, it does happen, and you may have lost points for your average Academic Record as well as Points due to No Work Experience.
However, Do keep hope, as All IIMs have yet not released their Call Lists. Secondly, their are many Excellent Management Institutes other than IIMs like Management Schools of Top IITs like VGSOM, SJSOM, DMS IIT Delhi as well as Top Management Institutes like FMS Delhi, MDI Gurgaon, IMT Ghaziabad, SPJIMR, NITIE and JBIMS Mumbai, and you must participate in the respective application processes.

Good Luck!!
in 10 class 58 in 12 class 72 and graduation 60 is any chance to convert iim L if i scores 98 percentile in cat exam (ncl OBC) non engineer
no not possible marks are very poor in your academics u have to score 99 plus with work ex
having 70 % in 10th and 67.8 in 12th and same on as graduation rest , what percentile needed to get into iim lucknow
It is bit complicated process as for the initial calling IIM Lucknow gives 60% weightage to CAT score and 20% to Graduation and Class XII. , no class X weightage. Remaining 20% are distributed between Work Experience and Academics Diversity.
For the final Selection 55% to the GD and PI and remaining to the other's.
First try to score 98.5 or above percentile then you can do the Mathematics.
All the best!!

Dear Aspirant,
Only academic scores are not enough to crack IIMs. You have to obtain qualifying percentile in CAT to get admission in IIM C or IIM I . Your academic scores are quite good. In simple terms, IIMs give a certain weightage to each score along with CAT Percentile, WAT, GD, PI, work experience. So there are certain criteria's on which the admission is done. For now, you are eligible but keep in mind to score in other criteria as well.
