Hello, I am an OBC candidate. I have 90.2% in 10th, 66% in 12th (Science), 79% in BFM (Commerce). I am a CFP and CFA Level 1 cleared, will this get me any positive advantage in the interview. Can I get into A/B/C and what percentile do I need to target?
Hello Aspirant ,
Yes you can definitely get into IIM ABC if you work hard and keep preparing consistently for CAT. Coming to your past academics , graduation score and 10th grade score is good and will fetch you nice marks but 12th is a little low. You have a little upper edge as there is some reservation so your CAT score will be a little less compared to the General category cutoffs. During the interview round , your certification courses like CFA Level 1 and CFP definitely give you an advantage and show the panel you take an interest into your profession. A target of 90-95 percentile in CAT will surely give you a call into IIMs but for the top tier ones , 95 above is recommended. Again it depends on your gender , GD-PI and other things. Regardless , prepare well and best of luck.
