I have 91.8% in 10th, 83% in 12th and 7.7 CGPA in B.Tech. , I will be giving my CAT in 2024, how much percentile will I need for old and new IIMs?

The Common Admission Test (CAT) is one of the most important components to get admission in old and new IIMs. In order to get admission in IIMs, you must obtain a good percentile in the CAT. There is no specific percentile stated by the IIMs which will give you a 100% WATPI shortlist. Even scoring a high percentile in the CAT will not give you a guarantee to get an interview call as it depends upon various factors.

IIMs give consideration to a number of factors while giving an interview call. These factors include CAT score, Class 10, Class 12, and Bachelor's degree marks, work experience, academic, and gender diversity, etc. Your first priority should be to clear both the overall and sectional percentile in the CAT.

The CAT score is not the only criteria but is one of the major criteria for admission. The cutoffs will depend upon the category from which you belong to. The cutoffs might be lower for candidates who belong to the reserved category.

The marks obtained by you in Class 10, Class 12, and Graduation, work experience, academic, and gender diversity will play a major role to get a shortlist for the WATPI process and your performance in the WATPI round will play a major role during your final selection.
