IIM Ahmedabad (IIMA) All Questions

Hello,

THe admission into IIM's is not based on your academics. The admission is based on your CAT score and your selection in Interview. To get a call from IIM you need to get at least 98% in CAT. SO you have less chances of getting a call from IIM Ahmedabad. If you belong to Reservation category then you may have a chance to get a call. So, you can try seeking admission in some other colleges as you have less chances of getting a call from IIM.

Hope this helps you.

hi candidate,

I am sorry but it seems bit tough with these scores(of 10th and 12th). But don't worry if you want to do MBA there are many other colleges also which are highly reputed and have great placements too. You should also give other important MBA entrance exams like  XAT IIFT NMAT SNAP etc. There are many other good MBA colleges like ISB, XLRI, FMS, JBIMS, IIFT, MDI , NITIE, TISS, SPJAIN etc.

I hope this answer will help.
All the best for the future!!

hi Satish,

FOR IIM Ahmedabad you need a very good CAT percentile then only there is a chances of getting call. Generally engineers have hard time to get a call because they are less preferred, so if you are an engineer then you need 99.5+ percentile(to be in a safe zone), though there are some students who get call with a little lower percentile than 99.5 because of their exceptional profiles  .IIMs also check your 10th, 12th, graduation percentage, work experience, UG Stream. IIM Ahmedabad gives good weightage to CAT percentile. So you can't mess up your CAT score that will reduce your chance of getting call drastically.

Hope this helps!

Hii,

If you fall under general category and are aspiring for admissions in Masters in Business administration or PGDM offered by IIM Ahmedabad then I'd say please don't. As even if you get 100th percentile you won't get a interview call hence, please explore other options like FMS or other colleges/b-schools and also appear for other B-school entrance tests which don't give a lot of weightage to Previous acads.

You can reach out to us for more help.

Hope it helps,

Thanks.

Hello,

IIMs look for Class 10th,12th and graduation percentage along with CAT Score before offering admission to a candidate. Work Experience is a plus but not mandatory. You have decent score in Class 10th,12th and graduation. For getting the top 3 IIMs that is IIM-A, IIM-B or IIM-C you need a CAT percentile between 99.6-99.9

To get a call from IIM A,B,C you need to get 98+ percentile or i can say 99+ percentile. Sometimes in blue moon a 98+ percentile gets a call.

Now coming to your Previous weightage then, it is totally fine and let me tell you for Initial calling these IIM's have different parameters of evaluation. Some gives only 10% weightage to Class 10th and 12th while IIM A give 20% weightage. In Final selection also IIM A give 8% weightage to previous records.

Hello,

For getting in top B-schools of India like IIM-A, IIM-B, IIM-C, FMS Delhi etc. you need good marks not only in in CAT but also in Class 10th, 12th and your graduation. If you have some work experience then it gives you more advantages.

There is no specific cutoff of percentile on which you can get into top IIMs. Since your marks in 10th, 12th is above 90% and in graduation above 7 CGPA with work experience, you can expect a call from IIM-A, IIM-B, IIM-C if you have at least 99 percentile in CAT .

For FMS also you should aim for 99+ percentile in CAT and also keep in mind that if you score 95+ percentile in VARC Section it will increase your chances of getting in.

The eligibility criteria for IIM Ahmedabad is that a person must qualify CAT exam and which the candidates will be called for writing ability test (WAT) and personal interview (PI) rounds. Most of the IIM give more weightage to the CAT score . You must have secured 50% in general (40% for SC ST and PWD) in your bachelor degree

hi,

see iim evaluated your academic score besides your cat score and there is also separate percentiles to clear like quant, verbal, reasoning. since you have already graduated right now you need to focus on your cat exam, need to work on your communications skills, the cutoff score is comes different for different category of students. I suggest you to regular practice. previous years IIM ahmedabad overall cutoff percentile was as follows,

general- 80

obc-75

sc-70

st-60

iim bangalore:

general- 85

obc-75

sc-70
