Do all the CAT 100 percentilers get into IIM Ahmedabad?
No, it’s not necessary that all 100 percentiles get into IIM Ahmedabad. Either they don’t get selected or they have some other college at the top of their preference list.
The CAT 100 percentilers opt for either of the following options:
-
Many 100 percentilers with work experience tend to apply for GMAT if they want to pursue their career abroad.
-
Some with even 100 percentile don’t get into B-Schools at all. They either pursue teaching in that field. Nowadays MBA preparation websites and CAT coaching Institutes are common.
-
Not all 100 percentilers are lucky enough to make it into IIMA. They get rejected in the interview round.
-
It’s not necessary that every 100 percentiler has IIMA at the top of their preference list. Some might prefer IIMB because of location or FMS because of the fee structure.
We can say that the chances of 100 percentilers getting into IIMA are high but not assured.

How much does an IIM Ahmedabad pass out earn after 12 years of passing out?
IIM Ahmedabad easily ensures a high salary. One of my cousin's brothers was an IIM Ahmedabad pass out. Today he is working abroad for Amazon and earns around 1.8 crore.
Another friend, an IIM Ahmedabad pass out, is making 26 LPA. He was nowhere near 20% or 30% of the batch, neither in academics nor in terms of campus replacement figures.
So we can safely assume that even without much shifting of jobs, an IIM Ahmedabad passout would reach the 1 crore easily.
