Hii Ashwin

With the scores you mentioned, you need to score above 99 percentile if you want a call from one of the top B schools like IIM Calcutta, Lucknow, Kohzikode, MDI Gurgaon, FMS Delhi, XLRI Jamshedpur etc. However, if you want to get a call from IIM Ahmedabad, you need atleast 99.7 percentile

Ashwin you have an overall good academic record which will help you in increasing your aggregate score which is used to make merit list.

To get calls from old IIMs like IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore and IIM Calcutta you need to score atleast above 99.7 percentile. Then to get calls from rest of the old IIMs like IIm Lucknow, IIM Kozhikode, IIM Indore, IIM Shillong you need to score atleast above 98 percentile and finally to get calls from all new IIMs and ultra new IIMs you need to get atleast 95+ percentile. Even with 90+ percentile, you can get calls from various other top private colleges like SP Jain, IITs, MDI Gurgaon, GIM Goa, TAPMI etc. but to get calls from IIMs, FMS, JBIMS you will need to atleast score above 95 percentile.

But scoring only will not make you get calls from IIMs as there are many other parameters involved to get a call for second round of WAT and interview. After the CAT

exam result, all the colleges in which you have applied including IIMs makes a merit list to call students for the second round of interview, GD and WAT which is made

in the basis of your aggregate score and which is based on different parameters such as CAT marks, 10th, 12th and graduation percentage, work experience, engineer or non-engineer, gender etc. whose weightage vary according to different colleges.

Then after you go through the second round of interview and WAT another merit list is made on the basis of the new aggregate score which also consists of the interview, GD and WAT marks. Generally, in this aggregate score interview and CAT marks have the highest weightage. Weightages of academic record is further reduced and you can catch up easily with your excellent performance in WAT and interview.

So, this is an overall long and hectic process but you will get to know about it in detail later when you will become the part of the process. Right now the essential thing is to prepare for CAT exam which is the first step in order to get into any IIMs and the most difficult step.

Feel free to ask if you have any more queries. All the best!!
