Hy,

I must tell you that you got a very good academic record and if you get a decent cat percentile then chances are very bright for you to get a call from iim.



CAT 2017 cutoff will depend upon various factors. Some of the factors determining CAT cutoff can be mentioned as follows:



Difficulty level of exam



Number of test takers



Number of candidates qualifying for the next rounds



Number of seats



Institute repute or ranking



The CAT cutoff is expected to go high this year as the difficulty level ofCAT 2017was lower than the previous year. Generally, the oldIIMsand top B-schools such as FMS, University of Delhi, MDI Gurgaon etc. have CAT cutoff over 99 percentile. New IIMs and other top B-schools have cutoff ranging from 90 percentile or above. On the other hand, B-schools belonging to tier two to four can range from 80 to 50 percentile.

You have very good academic records so you will definitely get call from IIM Indore because in IIM Indore it gives way more weightage to academic records even more than CAT marks. Go with a good interview and WSAT in second round you can definitely get admission in IIM Indore.



In case of IIM Kozhikode there is no special weightage for academic records. On contrary it gives  little more weightage to work experience. I am currently studying in IIM Kozhikode second year, believe me my batch is overloaded with work experience. If you can get 85+ percentile then there might be a chance for you to get a call from IIM Kozhikode. If you get a call then your conversion will all depend on your interview, GD and WSAT which has overall 60% weightage in final list, 35% for CAT marks and 5% for work experience. So you can't be dependent on your academic records.



In case of IIM Lucknow they generally look for studious students and give weightage to academic records but still with 85+ percentile you will have better chance of getting a call and further more around 90 percentile increases your probability of conversion.



In case of IIM A, B, C unfortunately you cannot expect a call in till and unless you have atleast 92+ percentile. Even after that 95+ percentile turns out to be better for conversion.



With less percentile you will also miss the chance of conversion of FMS. If you can get around 90 percentile then With 10-11/15 marks in extempore and interview you can convert FMS. As you are a girl so.you will also get additional 3 marks in your overall score making it way more easier for you.



With 80+ percentile you will definitely get calls from all new IIMs and with a decent second round you can get admission in all of them.



Whatever I have told you is all practically true so start preparing for the colleges in which you have good chance.



All the best!!
