Hi Kartik! Your past academic records can be considered as average. As far as the IIMs and FMS are concerned, you need at least 95+ percentile in order to get shortlisted. However, there is no guarantee of shortlist with a high percentile as these institutes mostly compute the scores based on various factors and specific weightages are assigned to each parameter. Hence, it's best to focus on your preparation now rather than worrying about shortlists. All the best!

Hi Poonam,

The application rating may affect your chances so, in order to get shortlisted for the PIWAT round, you'll require more than 98%ile.

Also, if you're graduation is in commerce or arts, the required percentile can be reduced.

For more information regarding the AR score and the procedure, you can check out the official page of IIMA.

Hope this helps,

All the best!

Hi Tanisha,

You can pursue management as it is the kind of education which requires a certain level of creativity. To pursue it you have to enroll into an MBA program you can do that by sitting for one of the entrance exams like CAT, XAT, NMAT, IIFT etc which will help you in getting a seat in a top b-school in India where you can pursue your dreams.

Good Luck!

Hi Harsha, 

In order to get IIM calls, you should secure at least 90+ percentile. While old IIMs like IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Lucknow and Indore usually call candidates with 99+ percentile, for the newer IIMs, the cutoff is slightly lesser, but still, 90+ percentile is what the cutoff trend is for General category candidates.

As far as non-IIMs are concerned, the cutoff range varies from institute to institute. For the top-ranked institutes like FMS Delhi, IITs (Delhi, Bombay and Madras), the CAT cutoff percentile is 99+. On the other hand, other premier B-schools like MDI Gurgaon, IMT Ghaziabad, SPJIMR Mumbai cutoffs range from 90-100 percentile.

Hello Vinay,
IIM – A only provides with MBA courses. You will have to give CAT if you want to get into IIMA. However, BBA+MBA is provided by IIM Indore, for which you will have to clear IPMAT.
Hope this was helpful and all the best.
