Hello Aspirant,

Unfortunately you are not eligible for admission to any of the baby IIMs. The reason being is that you have not even qualified their qualifying cut-offs for CAT which is normally in range of 27-36 for ST category in each of the three sections. And to get a call from IIMs, the candidate should have good academic record as well as good CAT score according to his/her category. But in your case you have decent academic record but you are not qualified for admission to any of the baby IIMs.
