Dear Aspirant,

You can surely go for CAT exam, but the question remains only for you, whether you should give it or not. If you are trying for top IIMs, you need to get upwards of 99 percentile for any chance. You need to aim above 99 percentile for your chances to increase in the admission in Top IIMs. Further you will have to convince the panel in your interview process too.

But clearly define & ask yourself why you are pursuing this course. You need to know that the decision you are taking is a well thought & driven for your future betterment. Keep these things in mind before making any decision. Interact with IIM students to get more understanding of the course & you'll get a better idea of the same.

Thanks.

See if you have good CAT percentile but have average academic performance then there are less chances of getting shortlisted for IIM A because IIM A shortlist the candidates on the basis of academic performance as well as CAT percentile and also it considers work experience (if any), So if you don't have any work experience then also you are eligible for admission to IIM A. Now the academic record which you have mentioned is average till class 12th but your graduation performance but in accordance with the given data if you score around 99 percentile in CAT then you might have shot at IIM A.

Hello aspirant, hope you are doing good.

So, firstly i want to congratulate you for your good CAT score, although you didn't mention how much did you score. Now with your academic profile,I'll be really honest with you but you don't have much chances of getting into the IIMs because to get into IIMs , you need to have a minimum of 70-80% in your boards, without that you don't possibly have much chances for IIMs even though you might have really nice CAT score.

Congratulations first of all forgetting such an amazing score in GMAT!!

Now, as for your Admission in MBA degree, your work experience will help you alot with your application by strengthening it. But I'm not quite sure of your percentage because the colleges you mentioned have a very low acceptance rate and their eligibility criteria demands atleast an 80% above overall standing in exams.

As for your GMAT scores, average GMAT score for LBS is 708, for Yale is 721 with an acceptance rate of 25% and average score for cambridge is between 687 - 700.

All in all, you really should put in your application, if it works out you might even he eligible for scholarships !
