IIM Ahmedabad (IIMA) All Questions

Hi Rajat,

According to the IIM admission criteria 2019-21, candidates appearing for CAT 2018 must have a Bachelor’s Degree with at least 50 per cent marks (for General category) and 45 Percent (for SC, ST and PWD category) or equivalent CGPA from any recognised university. But that isn't it what all information you have provided above won't be enough to get into a B-School. You need to clear the cutoffs of the CAT exam that forms the basis of admission in the institution.

I hope it helps.

Good Luck!!

Please answer it...Because I am very excited for cat exam preapration......

To get into IIM Ahmedabad's MBA Program, you are required to score between 98-100 percentile in the CAT examination. Even if your CAT score is 99, it can not be guranteed that you will be admitted. Your school marks are decent and should be beneficial in the admission process. Make sure your college grades are also great and your extra curricular activities are good enough. After this, all you have to do is ace the interview and GD. 

IPM is definitely is a good course if you want to pursue it. And it's definitely not very easy to get a percentile above 98. The colleges you have mentioned need a minimum percentile of 98 in CAT. But if you prepare well and your orientation is correct then you can definitely get a good college. And try to get some test series because that really helps.
