Hello Siddhi,

Your 85.41 percentile in MBA CET, along with your academic profile— 9.01 CGPA in B.Sc. Biotechnology, 61.34% in 12th standard , and 84.20% in 10th standard —provides a solid application for the SIES PGDM program. However, acceptance depends on several factors:

1. Cutoff Percentile : Typically, SIES requires around 85-90 percentile for general category students in MBA CET, so you're close to the usual cutoff. You might be on the borderline, but your score is competitive.
   
   

2. Academic Consistency : Your strong academic performance in 10th and undergrad (B.Sc.) supports your profile. While your 12th-grade percentage is comparatively lower, it might not heavily impact your application since PGDM admissions focus more on overall performance, entrance scores, and interview performance.
   
   

3. Other Factors : Group discussion, personal interview, and your statement of purpose will play crucial roles in final selection.

Your chances are decent, but performing well in the GD/PI rounds will be key to securing a seat.
