I have 93 % in class 10th and 67% in class 12 th. Can I get any IIM or any top mba college if I clear cat with good percetile?
Required percentiles:
FMS, Delhi needs 95 percentile.
IIM Shillong: 92 percentile
NITIE Mumbai: 91 percentile
IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, IIM Lucknow, IIM Indore, IIM Kozhikode, IIM Tiruchirapalli, MDI Gurgaon, IIM Udaipur, IIM Rohtak, IIM Ranchi, IIM Kashipur, IIM Raipur, IMT Ghaziabad, IMI New Delhi, XIM Bhubaneshwar and New IIMS need 90 percentile.
For ex; IIM Khozikhode Admission Criteria for 2019- 21; Shortlisting criteria:
CAT Overall Index Score carried 75% weightage
Class 12 percentage carried 7.5% weightage
Graduation score carried 7.5% weightage
Work Experience carried 5% weightage
Academic diversity factor carried 5% weightage
Considering this, you have to do real good in your Graduation and CAT, to be eligible for IIMs. If you can do so, you can pull it off. Remember tjat Graduation score carries 7.5 % weightage and CAT score carries 75% weightage.
Your 10th percentage is very good and your 12th percentage is also good.
As you have not mentioned your graduation marks. If you have scored more than 50% in graduation than You are eligible for cat entrance exam.
Yes definitely you will get the call if you clear the cat exams with good percentile which is above 95+ percentile overall for open category student and 85-90+ percentile for reserved category.
And also you have to clear sectional cutoff
CAT exam is the exam which is accepted by all IIM's and also some of the top B-schools like
FMS , SP Jain, NITIE and all IIT's.
Good luck
Hey Rahul! According to the IIM admission criteria 2019-21, candidates appearing for CAT 2018 must have a Bachelor’s Degree with at least 50 per cent marks (for General category) and 45 Percent (for SC, ST and PWD category) or equivalent CGPA from any recognised university. So you need to score at least more than 50 %.
