Hi! I am from IIT Kanpur, my btech score is 6.3 till 6th sem, class XII score is 96%, class X score is 95%. How much percentile minimum is needed to get a call from top 3 IIMs and FMS???

Hi Sarthak,

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your awesome academic record and also making it to the IITs  which is offcourse a matter of big deal. Since you are in 6 ^th semester, it would be an accurate time for you to start your CAT preparation. Making it to the top 3 IIMs and FMS for a GEM, is a hard nut to crack but it is not impossible. It will require your constant dedication and determination to stay put and work hard till you achieve your target and believe it or not, the panellists in the GD/PI would always prefer a person from IITs. So there you would have an advantage over your peers as well.

Now coming to your question about the cutoffs, I am listing down the top tier institutes with their CAT cutoffs:

Though the list is not exhaustive, but these are some of the best institutes in India to apply for an MBA/PGDM.

However, the journey does not end after achieving the required percentile. The Institutes have further processes of short-listing and selection from them is like 1:10 kind of thing. Though you will have a preference of being an IIT-ian, but you have to be best among the best to make it to the Tier-1 institutes. There is an addition round of extempore in some of the institutes where you need to be good at speaking English and you should have content in what you speak.

You can also try for XLRI(through XAT), SIBM-Pune(through SNAP), TISS-HRM(through TISS-NET), SIMSREE(through CAT and CMAT) and these are also TIER-1 institutes which will definitely fetch you a good job with a hefty salary package.

I hope I have been able to answer your query. If you require any kind of help, do not forget to write here and we will try our best to help you out. All the best!!!
