How much percentile is required to get a call from IIM ABC for OBC candidate with 1.5 years of work ex???

You have a very good profile but your btech score worries me alot. If you can get 99.95-100 it would help alot. Moreover if you have some extracurriculars or research done in the past or maybe appeared in state or national competitions or anything valuable done as a contribution to the society or nation etc. will help alot to get you through.

And if not start doing something that creates a robust profile, even something that is in your company some special project or event that you can handle or starting something new even at a small scale and even if you fail that's okay!!

They need proactive people.

IIMs are not only about percentiles its more about how hungry you are and how clear your thought process is for pursuing an MBA.

So keep these things in Mind also check criteria of individual IIMs before preparing for GD-Pi-Wat. Because getting calls is quite easy converting them on the contrary is very difficult.

Target 20 colleges, Prepare so well about what you have learned in Your work-ex + Your past acads + General HR and Gk Questions, that you dominate the GD and PI panels.

All the best.

Hi, your requirement for IIM ABC would be a difficult task looking at your btech marks. But a straight 99 or 100 in CAat would work like a charm.

Also, caste doesn't really matter in these. I think a good preparation strategy and dedicated work can make you through. And incase if you don't get into those top 3 colleges, do not loose hope as there are many good colleges out there from where you can persue a MBA

All the best

Hello, It ususally differs from profile to profile.As you are an engineer and have 71 in btech, 99 should be score to get a call.But for converting it, you would require even higher than that. Also , Different IIMs give different weightage to Academics.So tarhet college according to that criteria and your profile

Hi Aastik,

Compared to previous year, there is no change in the IIM Ahmedabad cutoff for any category, sectional or overall. As per IIM Ahmedabad Cutoff 2019, the overall percentile cutoff for OBC category is 75.

Check here for cutoff of 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015 and further details on the qualifying marks - IIM Ahmedabad Cutoff

Goodluck!!

Hey Aastik!

IIMB relies on your academic profile. So, you at least need 90 percent in both 10th and 12th grade. Whereas, above 75 percent will work in Engineering. Then, coming back to the CAT percentile. You need above 97 percentile. For, IIMA, you need above 80 percent in class 10th and 12th. And, above 95-96 percentile in CAT. If you analyze deeply, you will find a huge difference between the call-cutoff and the shortlisting cut-off. So, try to score as much as possible.
