I am a general category fresh graduate from BA political science. My profile is 90.6/96/8 in 10th/12th/graduation . With this profile how much percentile will be enough to get calls from IIM Ahmedabad? Provided that I clear all sectional cutoffs.And what are my profile's positives and negatives?
Assuming you are a General Category Aspirant, In spite of having a Non Engineering Profile, hence being at an advantage, you still need to target anywhere around 99.5 (99-100) Percentile in CAT, for fair chances of securing a Call for Interview, with the kind of Strong Academics and Profile you have. However, once CAT is done, you must prepare severely for the Interview and Other Processes, and must be ready to be grueled on the Why MBA Question. Since its rare, for a Political Science Graduate to pursue a MBA at IIMA, where the Class 90% consists of Engineers and Commerce Graduates.
