Hello,

See we don't know what actually they are actually looking... though this time they had the cutoff of  81 percentile. To be specific no one know what could be the reason but under such circumstance, you can mail the Issue to them... who knows they might consider...

Hey .

For getting into that college you need above 95 percentile in CAT .

All the best .

Thanks

Hi. For IIM A, You need to appear for CAT and score 98+ to qualify the cutoff criteria. Also, the final selection is done on the basis of GD/WAT/PI. However, IIM does not publicize the cutoff for CAT but it is known that it takes candidate with a very high percentile.

Thank You! 

Hi Samay,

As per the eligibility criteria of CAT, you should have 50% marks in aggregate in graduation. For SC, ST and other categories, there is a relaxation of 5%. So, you fit the eligibility criteria of the exam. To get into IIM A B & C, the first thing you need to do is score 90 percentile and above in CAT exam. If you meet the cutoff criterion of the top three IIMs, you will be shortlisted for the admission process which includes Writing Ability Test (WAT), Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI). Once you appear for all these rounds, the institutes will rate your profile on the basis of your performance in all the selection rounds. Your past academic performance like marks in 10th and 12th work experience will also be considered before the final selection.

To know the entire CAT selection process in detail, kindly explore the link below:

CAT 2018 Selection Process

@page { margin: 2cm } p { margin-bottom: 0.25cm; direction: ltr; color: #000000; line-height: 120%; orphans: 2; widows: 2 } p.western { font-family: "Liberation Serif", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; so-language: en-IN } p.cjk { font-family: "Droid Sans Fallback"; font-size: 12pt; so-language: zh-CN } p.ctl { font-family: "FreeSans"; font-size: 12pt; so-language: hi-IN } a:link { so-language: zxx }

All the best.

Nikhil, I'm glad you're taking your preparations seriously.
You should always aim for that coveted top 1 percentile to maximise your chances of getting a call from IIMs.
The thing is, for a couple IIMs, who focus on academic performance in college as well, your percentage could hurt a little. So to be safe, try and score as much as you can. I repeat, as much as you can. But at least 97 percentile to be at least half sure.

You seems to have a good academic records and as you are in second year so you also have enough time to improve your graduation percentage. All these things matter for getting an admission in any top reputated colleges like IIMs because after you will give CAT exam every college prepare a merit list to call students for interview round. That merit list is based on the aggregate scores of individual students which is made on the basis of many factors such as CAT marks, 10th 12th and graduation percentage, work experience, engineer or non engineer, gender with different weightages for different colleges.

Then with this merit list students are called for interview and WSAT round. After this again a final list this time including interview and WSAT marks which generally has highest weightage in final list. On the basis of final list students are offered admission.

Now as you are looking for call from IIM A, B, C from the last few years trends you need to score atleast above 99.67 percentile in order to get a call from these colleges. Even after scoring above 99.67 percentile there is no surity of getting a call because in IIM A you need to cross a min. score that is set on the marks gained by all parameters except CAT marks. If you cross this min. Score then only you will be eligible for further evaluation irrespective of your CAT percentile. In case of IIM B it gives way more weightage to work experience and an excellent performance in academics like scoring above 95 percentage in all three 10th 12th and graduation.

One of my friend didn't got a call from IIM A and B even after scoring 99.83 percentile in CAT 2015 because of being a fresher and poor academic records.

You have good academic records in 10th and 12th. Also you have enough time to improve your graduation percentage. So start working on it along with the preparations for CAT exam. As I said earlier to get a call for interview from IIM A, B and C you need to aim for a very high percentile.

All the best for your preparations!!

U need to choose travel and tourism course as it is not a degree.

Thanks,
Azim
