I gat 79% in 10th and 71% in 12th so i can gote admission in IIM A?

I am assuming you are from general category. Based on your overall academic profile, you will need to score atleast 99.95 percentile to get a call for the next round.

All the best!

You have an average academic records which could be a little problem in case of getting a call from IIM A. First of all let's talk about percentile so to get a call from top 3 IIMs like IIM A, B and C a general category student needs to score atleast 99.67+ percentile.

In case of IIM A there is a one more stage that you need to clear before scoring above 99.67 percentile. IIM A gives a minimum cut off score which you need to cross based on your all other parameters except CAT marks like 10th 12th and graduation percentage, work experience, engineer or non engineer, gender with different weightages. On adding up all these marks through different parameters then you will be actually eligible for further evaluation.

On of my friend in CAT 2015 scored 99.83 percentile but still.he didn't got call from IIM A and B because of his poor academic records and no work experience. So please look for this min. score criteria.

And don't worry much about it. Give your best and score a very high percentile. If not IIM A then you will end up getting admission in other premier institute. So don't let your performance get affected in any way.

All the best!!

Nothing is impossible! And these are decent enough marks. But yes, nothing is guaranteed too. Let's make it simpler. Getting through CAT is a pre-requisite. If you wish to get into IIMA which happens to be a premier B-school of India, you must get 99+ percentile (general category, 95+ (NC-OBC),  85+(SC/ST). Your 10th and  12th percentages will play a role thereafter while sending you calls for WAT-PI process of IIMA and for the final selection when a cumulative scoring is done. Remember few points:

*High CAT percentile

*Good 10th and 12th scores

*Academic diversity

*Work experience

*Gender diversity (in certain cases)

These above mentioned parameters will decide whether you get a call for WAT-PI process.

Added to that

*WAT performance

*PI performance

*Past achievements in school,  college and work life

All these together will decide whether you finally find a position in the merit list of IIMA or not. And do not panic, even if you feel you score a little low in 10th and 12th, if you can perform well and have performed well in your past, you can get into IIMA.

Wish you all the best!!
