Hello Aspirant,

Hope you are doing well...

The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) is a group of prestigious management institutions of India. According to the NIRF 2020 report, the top 5 IIMs are:

• IIM, Ahmedabad
• IIM, Bangalore
• IIM, Calcutta
• IIM, Lucknow
• IIM, Kozhikode

These IIMs select candidates based on their performance in the nationally administered Common Admission Test (CAT), performance in the subsequent rounds of Personal Interviews, and past academic performance. Some of the IIMs also give considerable weightage to work experience.

A work experience of 3 to 4 years would be good enough to shield poor academic performance. Additionally, you could take up some certification courses, live projects, internships, etc. All this, along with an exceptionally good CAT score and a good PI performance, can collectively help you land a seat in one of the top IIMs.
