Hello Nikhil,

Hope you are doing well!

First of all, congratulations on your CAT score.

It seems you have a great profile, and meet all the eligibilities. Unfortunately, it depends on the IIM to call a student for interview, and a good score, and good profile is not everything.

Though this in not common for your score to not get a call, and is really unfortunate in your case.

Hope my answer helped you.

Best of luck!
