Hey Arunbalaji!

You have good marks in the class tenth and twelfth and decent enough in your engineering course. Yes!

You can definitely make into IIMs if you have 98-99 above percentile in the CAT exam. If not the old ones, the new IIMs for sure. As they don't give much preference to your past academic score. So, you have a fair amount of chances there. Prepare well for your CAT exam. Best wishes!

Dear Arunbalaji


Your profile is decent. Frankly speaking your chances of getting into IIMs are quite decent and strong.

It will all boil down to your percentile. IF you are able to get over 98 you can get IIM indore or IIM kozhikode call depending on percentile.

For new IIMs you can get call at above 95

All the best

Hey

Getting into IIMs all depends on your CAT score and your PI And GDs therefore focus on your CAt score first . If you have a good CAT score like above 98-99 percentile and you clear GDs and PI your graduation marks won't affect much .

I'm afraid yes. See different IIMs have different criterias. Those criteria which are not mentioned anywhere, but still relevant regarding the fact that you get a call or not. So for some IIMs, your academic performance is a deal breaker if you were weak. So yes, it can affect your chances of getting a call from an IIM negatively.
