Have a question related to IIM Ahmedabad (IIMA) ?

How much percentile is required for IIM A/B/C or FMS for this profile. 10th- 92 percent 12th- 93 percent Master's - 8.3 (cgpa) (completed in June 2025 Work ex- 0 Catagory - SC

For your profile (92% in 10th, 93% in 12th, 8.3 CGPA in Master’s, SC category, fresher with no work experience), here’s a realistic CAT percentile target:

IIM Ahmedabad (A): With SC reservation, a 92–95 percentile is generally safe for a call. Since you’re a fresher with strong academics, 94+ would maximize chances.
IIM Bangalore (B): Around 90–93 percentile should be competitive for SC. They value academics highly, and you’re strong there.
IIM Calcutta (C): Usually calls SC candidates around 90–92 percentile.
FMS Delhi: Typically requires slightly higher even for SC 94–96 percentile as seats are fewer and competition is intense.

So, aiming 95+ percentile would cover you well for all of these.

Hi I belong to sc category . I'm also pwd candidate. So what is minimum percentile for call and minimum percentile for guarantee admission in IIM a,b,c.

Hello,

Depending on the IIM, SC or PWD candidates minimal percentile for an IIM call typically falls between 50 and 70. Generally speaking, a percentile score of 80 or more is seen as a safe bet for admission assurance. However, various IIMs and even different years for the same IIM may have varying cut offs and admission chances.

Hi I'm from sc category I'm pwd candidate minimum percentile for iim a,b,c call and minimum percentile for guarantee admission.

Hi Lokendra

As you are from SC category and also a PWD candidate, your chances of getting a call from IIM A,B,C will be very good at 60 - 65 percentile. The official minimum percentile required for your category (cutoff) is 50 percentile but the safe percentile for getting a call from IIM ABC is 65 percentile. The safe percentile to guarantee your admission would be 80 percentile.
