A score of 64 marks in CAT would likely fall around the 85th percentile depending on the difficulty of the exam and the overall performance of candidates in this year.


So,it is highly unlikely that you will receive a call from any of the IIMs as the required percentile for an IIM call is typically much higher, usually ranging from 90% and above, especially for top IIMs like Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Calcutta.


If you are looking for MBA programs, consider exploring other B-schools that may have lower cut-offs for admission.


Here are some B-schools that may have lower cutoffs for admission:


SOIL Institute of Management: Has a CAT cut-off of 75 percentile

You will have a higher ROI also will have access to latest business trends.Disadvantages would be that the tuition fees is very high and also the Visa and the immigration processes can be Complex you have to adapt to a new culture so that can be difficult too. but as you have a lack of work experience then MBA in India might be a more practical choice. if you have strong Academic credentials and can secure good GMAT scores you can consider trying to top International program.You must gain some work experience and also aim for a high GMAT score.

CAT

Hello Varun,

Based on your CAT raw score and profile, here's a breakdown of your potential calls and your chances for different institutes:

1. GIM Goa, GLIM Chennai, IMT Ghaziabad, IMI Delhi:

  • GIM Goa : With a score of 55, GIM typically looks for candidates with a higher percentile. However, you may still get a call if your overall profile, including your academic background (93.8% in Class 12, work experience), is strong.

  • GLIM Chennai : GLIM has a competitive cutoff, but with a solid academic record and work experience, there may be a chance, especially if you belong to a diverse background.

  • IMT Ghaziabad : Your chances with a score of 55 are slim, as IMT usually looks for a higher percentile. However, if you have an impressive profile and high academic scores, there may still be a slim possibility.

  • IMI Delhi : Similar to IMT, IMI Delhi has high cutoffs and competitive selection criteria. However, work experience and other factors like diversity can sometimes offset a lower CAT score.

    2. IIM SAP (Special Admission Program) :

  • The IIM SAP is typically for candidates with significant work experience or other unique factors. Your 14 months of work experience could be beneficial, but your CAT score of 55 is on the lower side, making it unlikely to receive an IIM SAP call. However, if you have other outstanding features in your profile (e.g., exceptional academic performance, leadership qualities, etc.), you might still stand a chance.

    3. Other Possible Calls :

  • UPES Dehradun : Known for considering work experience and unique profiles, UPES could be a potential option for you.

  • Bimtech Noida : You could expect a call here, considering your work experience and overall profile.

  • XIMB Bhubaneswar : This institute also considers profiles with good work experience, and you may stand a chance despite your score.

Overall, you can expect a call from institutes that weigh work experience and academic performance heavily, but you should also be prepared for lower-tier institutes in terms of CAT score cutoffs. Ensure you target institutes that match your profile for better chances.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.
