Is there a possibility to not receive a call from IIM A/B/C, even after scoring 100 percentile in CAT?

MK

IIM Calcutta Class of 2015

Yes, there is a chance that you may not receive a call from IIM even after scoring 100 percentile in CAT. However, this happens only for IIM Bangalore. 

You will receive a call from IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta because they choose the top 50 percentilers. But IIM Bangalore has an unknown logarithm for the admission process. I think it focuses too much on academics.

What does it take to get into SRCC?

VK
Vinay Kumar Posted On : January 10th, 2022
studied at Shri Ram College of Commerce (2018)

To get into SRCC, your class 12th results will be the most important. To score a 95 and above 8-10 hours of daily studying is necessary. Revision is one of the key parts. If you also have a proper, more than 75% attendance in your 12th, you are good to go.

Subjects like accountancy and economics cannot be mugged up in a day, so start preparing for them as early as possible.

Try finishing your syllabus before your Pre-Boards and attempt prelims, which will give you an idea about the exam and the proper time frame to complete it in.

Try understanding the practical applicability of the content. Practice as much as possible. There is no other alternative for it.

Set targets for yourself and complete them. Study to learn something new and not only to clear a stage in life.

KC
Kamlesh Chauhan Posted On : March 6th, 2023
studied Master of Business Administration Degrees at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (2015)

SPJIMR usually expects an all-rounder profile from its candidates. A profile is said to be good if

  • Excellent Academics; 90%+ on Boards and 80%+ in Graduation 
  • A great extracurricular background; For instance, Senior diploma in arts/national level winner in swimming, quiz, debate
  • A good work experience; Consistently high rating by senior management, winner in hackathons

All three or at least 2 of these shall guarantee or increase your chances of admission considerably for a profile-based call from SPJIMR. An additional ground to score well is the application form wherein you are required to fill in about yourself. If your matter appeals to the selection committee you can surely wait for a call. The admission process further comprises two group interviews, essays, and psychometric tests.

We can safely conclude that SPJIMR focuses on an overall good profile and not just high scores.

What is the lowest undergraduation percentage to get into IIM Ahmedabad or old the IIM?

SR
Sampriti Roy Posted On : July 30th, 2021
MBA from IIM Bangalore (2018)

I know someone who got admission at IIM Ahmedabad and here is his profile.

  • Work experience- None (0 years)
  • High school percentage- 91.45%
  • Intermediate percentage- 76.33%
  • Undergraduate percentage- 67.21%
  • CAT score: 98.85 percentile

However, I will advise you to not concentrate on these trivial facts. Prepare well and give your best in CAT.
If you manage to score a percentile of 99, then you can confidently anticipate a phone call from any old IIM. After that, it comes down to the way you present yourself in the GD PI round. That would eventually be your real test.

Can an average student get into IIFT?

MS
Mrinalini Sen Posted On : February 1st, 2021
MBA International Business & Marketing, Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Delhi (2018)

Yes, an average student or even a below-average student can get into IIFT. As the past academic scores are not as important as the entrance marks and the student’s performance in GD/PI at IIFT. If you can secure high marks in the entrance examination conducted by IIFT and create a lasting impression in the GD/PI round, then you can get admitted into IIFT as well as other top-rated B-schools.

Useful Tips:

  • The quant section in the entrance examination is not that tough; you can easily clear the cutoff by answering 4/5 questions right.
  • To clear the GK cutoff your reading capability should be good. Reading newspapers can be helpful for GK. It will also help you during GD since most of the topics given during GD are from current affairs. 

Here is the question pattern of the 2020 IIFT entrance paper:

Section

Total number of questions

General Knowledge and current affairs

20

Quantitative ability

25

Data interpretation and logical reasoning

30

Verbal ability and reading comprehension

35

Thus, keeping this structure in mind, you can prepare your own plan of approach. If you can score high marks in the entrance and nail the GD/PI round, then your previous performance won’t hold much weight. According to the popular norm of average percentage i.e. 75%, the student can still secure a seat for himself/herself per their entrance score.
