Depends alot on which colleges you are targetting and also your past academics. MBA courses in India on an average cost somewhere around 12-20 lakhs. so it is very important to enroll into a good college so that you get a better ROI after you leave the college.
Things to keep in mind for top 3 Colleges.
- IIM-A/C- 65+% in X,XII and grads ensures that you clear the minimum eligibility criteria. so after this you need a 99.95+ percentile.
- IIM B needs a solid academic background plus some Work-ex.

Hi,
This minimum percentile game is tricky. There are things that you need to keep in mind:
1) which IIM are you looking at? - For IIM Ahmedabad your academic qualifications are not very important. A 65+ in each of X, XII and graduation (if grads>70m, then X or XII could be between 60 and 65 as well) will ensure that you clear the minimum academic rating score. Thus, all that matters is that you clear the cut-off (99.65+). Others like IIM B need you to have a decent academic background
2) Your academic background - Say you are one of those who has scored 90+ in X and XII and 80+ in graduation, then even a 96-97 percentile might fetch you a call from IIM B, K, I and the likes.
