You have a very good profile for your category. You can definitely get into an Old IIM. Last time ive seen people get in IIM-Rohtak with 76%ile.

So dont worry alot give your best shot at Cat. And if you somehow end up in 90-100 %ile range you might even end up in top 5 IIMs.

Hi Rishabh,

Each IIM has different CAT cutoff criterion to shortlist the candidates for the selection rounds. Old IIMs including IIM Calcutta, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Indore, Kozhikode, Bangalore, Shillong usually have high CAT cutoff. However, the cutoff is usually low for SC category. You can check the CAT cutoff for all IIMs here - IIMs Admission Criteria 2019-21

Your academic scores are good enough to apply for CAT 2018 exam which will be conducted on November 25. The last date to apply is September 26. For more updates on CAT 2018, visit www.bschool.careers360.com

Good luck.

Hi vikas,Thanks for your information !I know the cutoff is very low70 (percentile) and I don't think that will be sufficient enough and there is a slight difference between getting a call and conversion. So for safer side what should be the cutoff so that i will receive call from Old IIMs ?

For IIM A, L and C, the cutoff to get shortlist is 70 percentile. For IIM B, it was 75 percentile until last year. It's likely to remain same this year as well. So, once you meet this criterion, you get shortlisted for selection rounds - GD, Writing Test, and PI. Once you appear for all these rounds, your overall performance is calculated in all rounds including your past academic records (10th marks, 12th marks, graduation marks) and work experience. Once you qualify all the rounds as per the weightage assigned to each factor, you will get admission.
