Hello Gouri,

First of all, congrats on your grades in school and college.

I now turn to your question.

Try to obtain a minimum percentile score of 40+ (ST Category) on each and every area of the CAT exam in order to receive calls from any new IIMs. It is advised to get a score of 70+ (ST Category) percentile or above in each component in order to receive calls from top IIM-A, B, C, and FMS.

Please note that, even if you have a high CAT score, there is no assurance that you will receive calls from past IIMs because the CAT Scores are only one of the criteria taken into account during the selection process.

I suggest aiming for the best CAT exam score you can get. Even with a very high score, there is no guarantee that you will be picked.

I wish you luck!
