To get a call from BLACKIS you need to get atleast 98+ percentile.

Although there are many other things on which also your calls vary like in IIM A one of your score is made on the basis of your 10th, 12th, graduation marks, work experience, engineer or non engineer, gender diversity. With this score you need to cross min score kept by IIM A. If you are not able to cross min score then irrespective of your CAT percentile you won't be eligible for next round. One of my friend in general category with 99.83 percentile didn't got call from IIM A and B because of unable to clear min. Score of other parameters.

IIM B also gives a way more weightage to work experience and also to excellent academic records like scoring above 97 percentage both in 10th and 12th. So to get a call here also is complicated.

IIM I is also unique as it gives more weightage to 10th and 12th marks than CAT marks. So to get call from IIM I you need to have a very good academic background.

IIM K also gives weightage to work experience not like IIM B but yes it prefers students with work experience. I am in 2nd year of IIM K and my batch average work experience is more than 2 years.

So it's quite a lot complicated to assure a call from BLACKIS aim for a very high percentile in CAT exam.

All the best!!

It's for OBC category only. I have told you the percentile for assured call. For General category in IIM A, B, C from last 5 years you get call above 99.7 percentile.
I have gave you an example of a friend in general category to tell you the complexity of calling pattern.

Otherwise you need to have above 96-97 percentile in order to get a call and convert.
