i don't have any extra curricular activities. my academics profile is 8/7/8. can i get a call from BLACKI IIMS after scoring 99 percentile in CAT.

Yes, with a 99 percentile CAT score, you have a good chance of receiving a call from the top IIMs (including BLACKI - IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Lucknow, and IIM Indore) even with a relatively average academic profile like 8/7/8, despite lacking extracurricular activities; however, your chances will be significantly boosted by a strong performance in the Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds where you can showcase your strengths and potential beyond just academics.

Hello Manas,

Yes, it is possible to get a call from BLACKI (IIMs - Bangalore, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Calcutta, and Indore) with a 99 percentile in CAT , even if your extracurricular activities are limited and your academic profile is average (8/7/8). However, admission to these top institutes is highly competitive, and the overall selection process considers several factors:

1. CAT Score : A 99 percentile is a strong score and will certainly make you eligible for consideration.
   
   
2. Academic Profile : While your academic profile might not be exceptional, IIMs generally look for consistency in your academic performance and also consider 12th and graduation marks .
   
   
3. Work Experience : Some work experience can improve your chances, but it is not mandatory.
   
   
4. Extracurricular Activities : While not having many extracurriculars may reduce your chances slightly, IIMs primarily focus on CAT score , academic background , and personal interview performance . If you perform well in the GD / PI rounds, you can still get a call.

So, with a 99 percentile in CAT, focus on performing well in the interview and GD rounds, and you still have a strong chance of being considered for BLACKI IIMs .
