IIM Visakhapatnam, like most B-schools in India, sets minimum criteria for admission based on the percentage scored in 10th, 12th, and graduation. The criteria for admission at IIM Visakhapatnam are not as stringent as some of the older IIMs, and generally, a score of above 60% in 10th, 12th, and graduation would make one eligible for admission at the institute. However, it's important to note that the institute may have different requirements and cutoffs for different programs, and it's best to check the official website or contact the institute directly for the most up-to-date and accurate information on their admission criteria. Additionally, while meeting the minimum eligibility criteria is important, it is not the only factor that is considered during the admission process, other factors such as work experience, entrance exam scores, and personal interviews are also considered.

The CAT score, in addition to being a selection criterion, is also used to establish the minimum level of proficiency that is expected from the candidate in respective areas as indicated by section-wise minimum scores in the CAT. 

The weightage for key components of the shortlisting criteria for IIM Visakhapatnam in 2022 is as follows:

Your chances of converting to NMIMS Mumbai are average considering the cutoff below 

The overall cutoff is 232 while your score is 211. This slight variation can be compensated by performing well in other rounds and areas. NMIMS gives different weights to the different parameters that constitute the final merit list:

• NMAT Score - 70%
• Group/Case Discussion - 10%
• Personal Interview - 10%
• Academic Performance - 5%
• Work Experience - 5%

In case you think your NMAT score is not enough, acing the CDPI rounds will work for you. Both rounds carry a significant weightage of 10% each and can prove to be definite game changers. Other criteria include work experience and past academic records.

Also, there might be people who score higher than you but let that demotivate you as a lower score can be compensated in consecutive rounds. The CDPI round is rather unpredictable and needs to be handled tactfully. Sometimes the performance of one candidate can affect others in the case discussion round. So be prepared for the worst scare scenarios.

Considering the criteria and the recent trends, I deem your profile to fare quite well provided that you perform well throughout the selection process.

Once you have been shortlisted you have to face 3 rounds during the selection process

1. Written ability test
2. Psychometric test
3. Interview+Extempore 

Your mentioned score combined with your great performance during these rounds will increase your chances of admission.

The top 5% of people from any academic category will be preferred when giving a call provided that they have cleared the various criteria. They include:

• Primary sectionals

• Overall CAT cutoff

• scored above the specified percentage in 10th and 12th

• scored above the 80th percentile graduation score 

If you have cleared all these criteria then you will be among the eligible candidates. But IIM Ahmedabad calls only 5% of the top composite score holders. For example, if there are 100 general candidates then it will call only the top 5 composite score holders. If there are 2000 general candidates it will call only 100 top composite score holders. But the maximum number of calls made will never exceed 100. 

Honestly, there is almost no chance of getting into any IIMs with your profile with any percentile. Even getting a 99 score in CAT will not guarantee your admission into IIM Ahmedabad given your past academic score is so low.

Still, you can try your best and score the maximum CAT percentile and instead go for institutes like FMS, MDI and NITIE, IIT B/D/M. Another tip is to take XAT as it may increase your chances of admission. 

A 90-95 CAT score will open other options for you such as

• IIFT (own entrance)

• SIBM, SCMHRD (both through SNAP)

• NMIMS (through NMAT)

• IMT, XIMB, IMI, Delhi University courses (DSE, MIB, MBE)

So it’s best if you try all options and sit for various exams. Then choose the best institute for you.
