My son got 77 percentile in CAT. Can he apply for any IIM? Any chance they conduct WAT and I test and decide his eligibility?

Hello Hemalatha ji,

Since you have not mentioned your category of your son so considering it as General and if not then please correct me.

So according to your category and percentile in CAT you have no chances to get call from any of the IIMs because top IIMs such as IIM A,B,C and so on call the candidates having more than 99 percentile and good academic records and even those seven baby IIMs also have their shortlisting cut-offs around 92-95 percentile but on such percentile your son has some chances to get seat in some B-Schools other than IIMs like :-

• Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad
• Amrita School of Business, Coimbatore
• Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow & Jaipur
• Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International School of Textile Management, Coimbatore
• Vel Tech Dr. RR & Dr. SR University, Chennai
• Indian Institute of Health Management Research, Jaipur
• Christ University, Bangalore
• FMS, Manav Rachna University, Faridabad
• IBS Business School, Hyderabad
• National Institute of Technology, Warangal
• BIMTECH, Greater Noida
• Lovely Professional University, Phagwara
• VIT Business School, Vellore

But also note that for shortlisting of candidates for WAT/GD-PI if there is in the B-School admission process then your son's academic performance and diversity also comes into play means his academic performance in class 10th and 12th, his graduation percentage, graduation background and Job experience is also considered for admission to IIMs and other B-Schools in India.

To check the cut-off for above mentioned B-schools and complete list of other colleges which you can get on such percentile, kindly check out the link given below :-

Good Luck!!
