Dear Sanjeev

According to the innformation provided you have a very good academic record. To answer your query i would like to say that for IIM ABC you need a percentile over 95 to convert it in final call.

For IIM L you need above 90 percentile and for IIM K the score should be over 85 percentile.

CAT  cutoff will depend upon various factors. Some of the factors determining CAT cutoff can be mentioned as follows:



Difficulty level of exam



Number of test takers



Number of candidates qualifying for the next rounds



Number of seats



Institute repute or ranking



It also depends upon your overall profile, your interview so brush up your knowledge as it takes a toll on mba aspirant.

I wish you all the best for your future.

Cheers !!

Have a look at these websites to get a good idea of the shortlisting criteria at IIMs.

You have a good academic records which will help you in your selection process because it is one of the key parameters used by every IIM in calling students for next round of interview and WSAT which is based on your aggregate score which comprises of many factors such as CAT marks, 10th 12th and graduation percentage, work experience, engineer or non engineer, gender with different weightages for different colleges. Among which academic records consists of 10-25% weight.



For too 3 IIMs i.e. IIM A, B and C you need to get above 92+ percentile for a call. Still it's better to have 95+ to convert it. For other old IIMs like IIM L, K and I you need to score above 85+ percentile and again it's better to have 90+ for conversion. For new IIMs you need to score 80+ percentile. These all are tentative to get call it may vary with your profile and selection varies with it performance of interview and WSAT which has major weight in final merit list.



All the best!!
