Hi Aaradhana!

The only way to get admission in IIM Indore is through CAT examination and that would require you to be well versed in aptitude, logical reasoning, data interpretation, and English comprehension.

If you have a pretty decent score in both your school and graduation then getting calls from IIM Indore is possible if you score somewhere around 97-98 percentile.. Since you have not mentioned the category you belong to, I'll assume that you fall in the general category and provide you the data accordingly.

First of all, the basic eligibility for CAT is 50% in your graduation and you are in the safe harbor. Getting into an IIM is a different story though. Each IIMs have their own admission criteria and vary accordingly, and the weight given to CAT percentile is also different. Some colleges like IIM Bangalore depend heavily on your academics, which in your case could be of low chance ( IIM Bangalore expects 90-90-85 generally), but other IIMs like IIM-Calcutta go easy on the academics and weigh heavily on the CAT and this becomes your hunting ground. Thus, it becomes important for you to jot down the IIMs you are eligible for and aim for the particular CAT score accordingly.

Your degree would give you an advantage though if you have an art sdegree. Your arts degree fetches you additional marks while getting calls and also while converting the call during final admission. Again, the amount of weight given varies accordingly. But if you're an engineering grad, you might have a back foot.

Please make sure that you have a good academic record if you're aiming for IIM Indore and it becomes rather important for you to score as high as possible in your CAT exam. Assuming you get somewhere around 98-99 percentile, there is a very high chance of you securing a seat given that you do your PI-WAT very well. With a score like 99+ percentile, you will certainly get calls from all the old IIMs, baby and new IIMs but please be assured that there is cutthroat competition by now. At around 96-97 percentile most of the new IIMs start giving calls and you stand a chance there because they go light on the academics.

That being said, once you get a call from the IIMs, another obstacle to cross is the PI-WAT. Again, it depends upon different IIMs. Some IIMs like IIM Bangalore and IIM Indore give very less weight for your CAT percentile ( a mere 25%) and others like IIM Udaipur give 55% to your CAT score while calculating your composite score for the final admission. Thus scoring high only in CAT doesn't guarantee a seat and the real game begins only after that. Please prepare well and focus on current affairs and work experience related stuff if you get calls.

Good luck belling the CAT! Feel free to drop in your queries.

And if you want to pursue MBA the the eligibility for the same is - 1) Should be a graduate with at least 50% marks in case of general and unreserved category, and in case of SC, ST, OBC category at least 45% marks. 2) CMAT scores will be considered for the Admission. And if any student is not appeared in CMAT exam then also he/she can apply on the basis of his/her graduation marks.
