I scored 95 percentage in 10th and 80.4 percentage in 12th (science).I am in a second year of my graduation English honours (arts).I am a obc candidate.Is my academic marks is good for IIM A,B,C and how much percentile i reqired in cat?

Hello Aspirant,

Your 10th and 12th percentages are more than good for IIMs. According to the eligibility criteria as you have scored , more than 90% in 10th , your chances to get an interview call will be higher, provided you have a very good percentile in CAT exam.Note that your graduation marks will also matter hence try to score around 80-90% in it. Also securing top percentile will not assure you IIM seat, the top CAT score will make you eligible for Written Test/Group Discussion and Personal Interview (PI) based on which you will be selected for MBA. The cutoff requirements will vary based on your reservation category.For other top IIMs too it will be more or less the same. You should aim for a minimum of 95-97 percentile to even stand a chance. So prepare well for CAT exam .

What is the eligibility criteria of iima in class 10 and 12th marks. is it true that A person requires minimum 80% in class 10 and 12th for admission?

Please read this answer in Browser mode and not in the App Mode.

There is no specific eligibility criteria per se. You need to score more than 95 percentile in CAT. And based on your grades in your 10th, 12th and Graduation and the streams you have chosen, you will be rated on a scale. And the points are calculated accordingly. For example, if you sore 60% in your 10th, you will be awarded 5 points. If you score 80%, you will be awarded more points. It is the same with even 12th and Graduation. The total marks are calculated and based on your Category, you will have a cut off to clear and Candidates are shortlisted based on that. Please read this for a better understanding of the admission criteria in IIM A.

IIM A has the following percentiles as the minimum cut offs for 2019 across all Categories.

Category	QA	DILR	VARC	Overall Percentile
UR,EWS	70	70	70	80
OBC-NC, Trans	65	65	65	75
SC	60	60	60	70
ST	50	50	50	60
PWD	60	60	60	70
PWD-ST	50	50	50	60

Now the various ratings for various scores are as follows:

Percentage in the 10th	Rating
<=55	1
>55 and <=60	2
>60 and <=70	3
>70 and <=80	5
>80 and <=90	8
>90	10

Now coming to the 12th, it looks like this for various Streams:

Percentage in the 12th science	Rating
<=55	1
>55 and <=60	2
>60 and <=70	3
>70 and <=80	5
>80 and <=90	8
>90	10

Percentage in the 12th Commerce	Rating
<=50	1
>50 and <=55	2
>55 and <=65	3
>65 and <=75	5
>75 and <=90	8
>90	10

Percentage in the 12th Arts/humanities	Rating
<=45	1
>45 and <=50	2
>50 and <=60	3
>60 and <=70	5
>70 and <=85	8
>85	10

And then the Rating scores for Bachelor's degrees are as follows:

Percentage in Bachelor's degree	Rating
<=55	1
>55 and <=60	2
>60 and <=62	3
>62 and <=65	5
>65 and <=70	8
>70	10

And for professional degrees, the rating scale looks like this:

Percentage in Bachelor's degree	Rating
<=50	1
>50 and <=53	2
>53 and <=55	3
>55 and <=57	5
>57 and <=63	8
>63	10

And then work experience is considered too for those Candidates who have it. The scores from each level of studies are added up. And the no.of Candidates shortlisted per each Category will be as follows:

UR: 100

NC-OBC, Trans: 57

SC: 32

ST: 16

PWD: 6

And after being shortlisted based on these criteria, Candidates have to be shortlisted also for WAT and PI rounds. The whole process can be checked at their page: https://www.iima.ac.in/web/pgp/apply/domestic/admission/selection-process

priyaankasarkar23 Dec'20

I have 60% in both class 10 and 12th. am I eligible for iima?

There is a rating system based on your scores for IIMs. You are rated based on your scores in 10th and 12th and then shortlisted. For example, if you look at 10th percentage vs marks,

Percentage in the 10th	Rating
<=55	1
>55 and <=60	2
>60 and <=70	3
>70 and <=80	5
>80 and <=90	8
>90	10

Now in 12th, you can be a Science student or an Arts student or a Commerce student.

Now coming to the 12th, it looks like this for various Streams:

Percentage in the 12th science	Rating
<=55	1
>55 and <=60	2
>60 and <=70	3
>70 and <=80	5
>80 and <=90	8
>90	10

Percentage in the 12th Commerce	Rating
<=50	1
>50 and <=55	2
>55 and <=65	3
>65 and <=75	5
>75 and <=90	8
>90	10

Percentage in the 12th Arts/humanities	Rating
<=45	1
>45 and <=50	2
>50 and <=60	3
>60 and <=70	5
>70 and <=85	8
>85	10

And that is not it, You also have Bachelor's degree ratings, Academic profile, Academic diversity to b e considered. And you will need more than 95 percentile to be considered for IIM Ahmedabad. The minimum percentiles based on previous year cut offs have been as follows:

Category	QA	DILR	VARC	Overall Percentile
UR,EWS	70	70	70	80
OBC-NC, Trans	65	65	65	75
SC	60	60	60	70
ST	50	50	50	60
PWD	60	60	60	70
PWD-ST	50	50	50	60

priyaankasarkar23 Dec'20

is it true that If I do not have average of 80% in class 10 and 12th I can't apply and get admission in IIMA even with good percentage in cat.

Hello

Admission in IIM is depend on your cat score . So you have to score good marks in cat. As per the eligibility criteria for cat you must have minimum 50% aggregate marks in your graduation. There is no such condition on your 10th and 12th standard marks .

Hope my answer will help you

Thank you

Can I get iima with cat 99.89 percentage if I have 60% in both class 10 and 12?

Hello Aspirant,

Firstly congrats on an awesome CAT percentile. With this percentile you can expect calls from IIMs but for the top ones your high school matters too. As far as the eligibility criteria is concerned , you are fine as the minimum percentage needed in 10th and 12th is 50+, but chances may be less that you get a call from IIM Ahemdabad. You see,even though higher weightage is given to CAT percentile , IIMs always goes with high merit candidates , so people who have score 85-90% and above in class 10th and 12th seems to have higher chance of receiving interview call. IIMs usually put separate ratings out of 10 (points) for 10th score,12th score ,graduation score as well as years of work experience. You may checkout the rating chart in their official website to get a clear idea.Now even if you get selected it is only for the interview round and IIM interview rounds are pretty crucial at deciding your admission and it is not that easy, , so be well prepared in advanced .

How can I get admission on IIM Ahmedabad ?? What qualifications needs ???

Firstly you need to appear for CAT. You need to have minimum 80 percentile in each section and above 90 percentile in CAT to be eligible for getting a call. For a clarification cutoff goes up to 99.8 in CAT for admission in IIM Ahmedabad and there are very less chance for a general candidate getting admission at 90 percentile too.

If your score in 10th and 12th is above 90 percentage and in graduation it's above 80% then you can get an opportunity of getting a IIM call at as low as 90-95 percentile. The cutoff and criteria depends and vary every year.
