We will be honest with you. There are 20 IIMs and each IIM has its own selection criteria. The calculation and weightage of marks given for Academic section is different for each Category. And then each IIM Categorises and defines sectional importance in CAT exam differently. For example, look at this:



IIM                   QA                 DLR          VARC          Overall

Ahmedabad   65                   65              65                 70

Bangalore      70                   70               70                 75

Calcutta         65                   65                65                70

Indore            70                   70               70                  80

Lucknow       77                   77               77                  82



And once these scores are calculated, the following formulae are used to calculate your 10th, 12th and Graduation scores:



10th Standard: 36*[Z Candidate-Z min/Z max- Z min]





12th Standard: 40*[Z Candidate-Z min/Z max- Z min]





CAT 2019 score: 20*[Candidate's overall score /Highest CAT score]





Gender Diversity Factor: = 4 for female applicants





=0 for other applicants





Composite score= sum of the above scores



And with CAT being conducted in 2 different slots, there should be a way to commonise the CAT score. The scores will be normalised to ensure equivalence in the difficulty levels of the exams for both slots. IIM Kozikhode will normalise the CAT scores using percentile equivalence. Adjustment of location and scale differences of score distributions across different norms and then scores will be normalised. These scores will be then converted into percentiles for shortlisting and selection purposes.



And your Graduation stream plays an important role in adding marks to the Academic Diversity Factor. For example for Commerce stream, the calculation is as follows:



Percent Scored      Rating Score

<=50                                  1

>50 and <= 55                 2

>55 and <= 65                 3

>65 and <= 75                 5

>75 and <= 90                 8

>90                                  10





For Graduation, the percentage of marks secured will be considered final. If the Institution doesnt grant marks but grants grades or percentages, it will be calculated on the basis of marks obtained in the marks list.



That will be calculated as follows:



Percent Scored           Rating Score



<= 55                                       1



> 55 and <= 60                      2



> 60 and <= 62                      3



> 62 and <= 65                      5



> 65 and <= 70                      8



> 70                                        10





For Science Stream, the calculation is as follows:



Percent Scored               Rating Scored



<= 55                                               1



> 55 and <= 60                              2



> 60 and <= 70                              3



> 70 and <= 80                              5



> 80 and <= 90                              8



> 90                                                10



Now coming to Graduation in Science Stream, the calculation

is done according to the following table:



Percentage Scored            Rating Scored



<= 55                                                1



> 55 and <= 60                              2



> 60 and <= 62                              3



> 62 and <= 65                              5



> 65 and <= 70                              8



> 70                                                10





The minimum cut offs in 12th in Science Stream across all Categories have been as follows:



General Category: 80

OBC-NC/Transgender: 75

SC:70

ST: 65

PWD-UR/OBC/TG/SC: 70

PWD- ST: 65



And the final score is calculated using this formulae:



Personal Interview Multiplication Factor = 0.50

AWT Multiplication Factor = 0.10

CAT Score Multiplication Factor for Final Composite Score = 0.25

Application Rating Multiplication Factor for Final Composite Score = 0.15



So based on your Category, to get a call from an IIM, you score should be as follows:



General Category: 98+



OBC-NCL: 90+



SC: 75+



ST: 65+

Hello,

.

Sorry you won't be able to get a  call from IIMs.

.

IIM has a demand that Only 98% and above can get a call from IIM.

.

Not only ISB  institute top IIM Collges are only entertaining the students who have got 98% and above.

.

But don't loose a hope here,you need to go with CAT exam, there again there comes a chance to get a call from IIM.

.

Score must be more then 98% remember this.Work hard don't let your 12th grade decided your future.

.

Be a topper in exam and cover your 12th with it.

You will surely get a call.Hope for the best.

.

Best of luck
