I have scored 85% in my 10th board and 77% in the 12th board. Is it possible for me to get admission in IIM Bangalore or in any IIM college if I score good in the CAT?
Honestly speaking, your academic record is average and even a very high percentile might not necessarily be enough to get a call for admission.
IIM Bangalore especially focuses a lot on Past Academics. In the initial shortlisting, the 12th and 10th marks are given 15% weightage each which combined is quite a lot. During the final shortlisting, 10th and 12th marks are given 10% weightage each. So the only thing you can do is
- Work really hard and score a very high CAT percentile, something around 99.5+
- Target other IIMs
- Performance during the Personal Interview
You can go for other top B Schools like FMS and XLRI who give very little importance to past academics.

What are some interesting behind-the-scenes stories about IIM Bangalore placements?
Here are a few interesting behind-the-scenes stories about IIM Bangalore placements that I came across from interaction with my friend who is an alumnus of IIT Bangalore.
The initial 2 days witness the heaviest crowds as the maximum number of students are placed in very little time. The students end up giving consecutive interviews until they are selected. As a result, students sometimes have no idea about what they are interviewing and just appear for the sake of it. In a very hilarious incident, a student started praising Ola in an Uber interview.
The GD day is even more hectic as students can sometimes be seen attending GDs from the morning till midnight. In these GDs, you will find people of all kinds. While some will rarely speak, some can be seen shouting and dominating others in the groups. You will see tired bodies moving around and some even crying because of poor performance.
The placement process is completely handled by students under teams called trackers. You will spot groups of trackers huddled together and discussing important issues.
