What all things should I achieve or know (including social skills,academics,hobbies, certificate courses and whatever required) to confirm my admission in any of the IIM or particularly IIM Ahmedabad?

IIMs generally look for a complete package in every applicant’s profile. They have quite an extensive and detailed process for the applicant and there are three primary stages that you are looking at.

First stage- Preliminary stage: This is the minimum eligibility for every applicant. The eligibility is 90% CAT score, with an 85% percentile in each section for most of the top colleges.

GD-PI Call Stage: All institutes and colleges follow different parameters in all proportions. Mostly they consider the following parameters with different proportions.

• CAT Score
• Past Academics (10th, 12th, and Graduation)
• Work Experience
• Diversity

Admission Offer: This is the last and final step after the successful completion of the GD-PI stage. This really tests you as it puts your personality and characteristics traits to test.

You will have to pay attention to the following three sections too while completing your duration at IIM Ahmedabad.

Academics: A minimum of two subjects is important to be made thorough while you are at IIM Ahmedabad.

Social Skills: Although almost all the interviews depend on the interviewer, it would be fair to say that it helps to be gentle and firm at the same time.

Certificates: Having additional certificates will be a big-time value addition to your professional side. Since most of the aspirants will have good CAT scores and academic records. 

Apart from the CAT preparation that you are doing, it is important that you start paying attention to build your profile beforehand.
