What are my chances of getting into good IIMs, FMS, IIFT, or XLRI with 80% in 10th, 64% in 12th and a 6.2 CGPA in engineering?
Getting admission to top B-schools like the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT), or XLRI is highly competitive. While your academic scores may not be the best, it's not impossible to get admission if you perform well in other areas.
Here are some factors that may affect your chances of admission:
- CAT/GMAT Score: The Common Admission Test (CAT) or Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is the first step to get admission to these B-schools. You need to score well in these exams to get shortlisted for the next round of selection.
- Work Experience: Many of these B-schools prefer candidates with work experience. If you have relevant work experience, it can improve your chances of getting admission.
- Extracurricular Activities: Apart from academics, these B-schools also look for candidates who have participated in extracurricular activities. It shows that you have leadership skills, teamwork abilities, and are a well-rounded individual.
- Diversity: B-schools prefer students from diverse backgrounds. If you belong to a minority or have unique experiences, it can work in your favor.
Considering your academic scores, your chances of getting into top B-schools may be lower compared to candidates with higher academic scores. However, this doesn't mean that you should give up on your dream of getting into a top B-school. Here are some tips that can help you improve your chances:
- Aim for a high score in CAT/GMAT: Focus on preparing for the entrance exams and aim for a high score. This can compensate for your lower academic scores.
- Highlight your work experience: If you have relevant work experience, highlight it in your application. It can show that you have practical knowledge and skills.
- Showcase your extracurricular activities: Participate in extracurricular activities and showcase your leadership and teamwork skills in your application.
- Prepare well for the interview: If you get shortlisted for the interview round, prepare well for it. Research about the B-school and practice common interview questions.
In conclusion, getting admission to top B-schools is highly competitive, but it's not impossible. With a good CAT/GMAT score, relevant work experience, and extracurricular activities, you can improve your chances of getting admission to top B-schools.

What are the chances of getting into IBS Hyderabad with a 71.1 percentile score after GD PI?
Technically speaking, you need at least 87 percentile to make it into IBS Hyderabad. Although I have seen someone get in even with a 76 percentile, you should know that the chances are extremely low. This is because the students who get selected initially sometimes leave after getting offers from other B Schools like Great Lakes, NMIMS or FORE that are more convenient for them. This in turn empties several seats and candidates with a lower percentile who set ISB Hyderabad as the first preference get a chance to get admission. Even if you are unable to make it into Hyderabad, try for the Mumbai campus.
If a person had low marks in 10th and 12th, is he eligible for IIM Ahmedabad?
Candidates who are eligible to take the CAT 2022 are also eligible for admission to the IIMs, according to the IIM eligibility criteria 2022. They must, however, meet a few other requirements set by the respective IIMs for the selection process. The following are the CAT eligibility criteria for admission to IIMs:
- For general category candidates, a minimum of 50% aggregate marks or equivalent CGPA in graduation is required (45% for reserved category candidates).
- Candidates in their final year of undergraduate studies.
- Candidates must meet the institute's minimum CAT cut-off criteria.
However, older IIMs have their own selection criteria. IIM A focuses on academics, including grades 10, 12, and graduation. IIM B places a high value on work experience. IIM C has the most straightforward selection procedure. Because you received low marks in 10 and 12, you must improve your graduation marks and CAT percentile to secure a call. It may be difficult, but there are always exceptions.
Try to make your profile stand out from the crowd. Just don't limit yourself to IIMs. Other institutes, such as FMS and XLRI, are also excellent.

What are my chances of getting into FMS Delhi or any old IIMs? My academics are 10th/12th/under-grad: 87.3/78.6/75 CAT percentile is 99.78 percentile. Should I expect a call or try other things?
You have a high chance of receiving a call from IIM-L and C but negligible chances of receiving a call from the old IIMs, namely A, B, K, and I, given that you are a general engineering male with the academic scores and a 99.78 percentile in the CAT exam.
You should focus on the high chance of converting FMS Delhi, given your strong academic record and impressive CAT percentile.
Factors such as gender and academic background can also play a role in the admission process and the likelihood of receiving a call from certain institutions.
Got a call from IIM-Rohtak, so should I presume I'll get calls from all new IIMs? Also, what are my chances converting it?
Yes, there is high chance that you will be getting calls from most of the newer IIMs if not all. However, based on your profile it won’t be easy to get into an IIM. You might have to work extra hard for your PI round.
Prepare for the interview by availing of some professional help. The competitions for IIMs are tough and should not be underestimated. One excellent way to prepare for your interview is going through interview experiences on Pagal Guy. It provides elaborate interview experiences of converted calls. You may also join the mentorship program at new IIMs.
Can I get admission to IIM Calcutta with an 80 in 10th, 99.85 in 12th, and 98 in graduation?
IIM Calcutta focuses on CAT rather than 10th/12th/graduation to give you PI calls. Then, during the selection stage, IIM C prioritizes PI performance over all other factors. So, without a doubt, your academic results are excellent and will aid you in the admissions process (though relatively low). So, if you want to get into IIM C for MBA, you should focus on getting a higher CAT percentile and excellent PI preparation and performance.
If you have academic or gender diversity work experience, or if you are from the EWS/PwD/NC-OBC/SC/ST category, the process will be sped up.
