IIM Ahmedabad (IIMA) All Questions

Dear Rehmat, there are 20 IIMs and each has its own selection process.Because CAT exam will be held at different slots, CAT scores will be normalised to ensure equivalence in the difficulty levels of the exams for both slots. IIM Kozikhode will normalise the CAT scores using percentile equivalence. Adjustment of location and scale differences of score distributions across different norms and then scores will be normalised. The 20 IIMS and all the Participating Institutions will announce their Cut offs. The cut off is prepared after checking various factors. MBA aspirants will have to apply separately to all the Colleges that accept CAT scores. While CAT score remains the main criteria for selection, IIMs also consider other factors like previous academic performance, work experience, gender and Academic diversity. CAT exam paper can be Categorised into 3 parts:

Quantitative Ability

Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension

Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning

We shall enlist the admission criteria of all the 3 IIMS here:

For all the Candidates shortlisted, the 10th and 12th board results are initially adjusted by dividing each such score by 90th percentile score of that board. And then an adjusted score is calculated for the Bachelors degree for each of the candidates based on the final scores obtained by the candidate are used for the Bachelors degree and professional degrees. For example,

CAT = 40

10th board = 20

12th board = 10

Bachelors = 20

Gender Diversity = 2

Work Experience = 8

The 40 points for CAT are derived from the performance in each of the three sections as follows:

Verbal & Reading Comprehension - 14 points

hello aspirant,

see for iim ahmedabad, kolkata you need to score 99-100 percentile. but only on cat scores it is not certain that you surely get calls, they also screens your 10+2 scores and graduation marks. also if you have done any job or internship that will give credit to your profile. but as per the score of your academic record, if you get more than 99 percentile you will surely get calls from IIM b, c.

Hi,

Admissions to IIM is based on the CAT percentile. The cut-off percentile for IIMs differ every year based on mainly 5 factors i.e. the difficulty level of the exam, number of test takers, candidates qualified, number of seats and the institute's ranking and reputation.

As you want to know specifically about IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Bangalore, as per the previous years i e. 2018's cutoff, you will need to score 80 percentile in CAT if you are from general, 75 percentile if you are from NC-OBC cum transgender category, 70 percentile if you belong to SC and PwD category and 65 for ST.

In case of IIM Bangalore, you will need to score an overall percentile of 90, 80, 75, 70 and 60 if you are from general, NC-OBC, SC, ST and DA categories respectively.

Hello dear,
.
Accordingly scoring 120+ will make you to get 90%.
Most of the business schools will consider this as a good score.
.
If you wanted to get a call From IIM then you should be needed 98 to 99%.Which is like a score of  160+
.
Scoring 160+ will make you get nearly 98%.
I would suggest you to score more then 165 if you wanted to get a call from IIM.
.
Hope this was relevant to your question.
Best of luck

Hello,
.
I don't think you will ne surely getting a call from IIM.
As i have heard before that IIM needs 98% to give a call letter.
.
You haven't scored less but you haven't reached its highest to get a call letter.
.
I can just suggest you to give a try.Why to loose hope without giving a try.So go for the best hope for the best.
.
Best of luck.

Hi Aspirant,

As per the details provided by you, i can say that you have got a good chance to get into IIM or any top b-schools if you score a decent percentile. Since you are a physically challenged candidate, therefore this marks will be sufficient for you to get into top b-schools of India. You must focus on getting 75+ percentile and then you'll be able to easily get into any top b-schools including IIMs.

Hope this helps..
All the best and Good Luck
