How much do I score in engineering to get in IIM Ahmedabad?
There is no fixed GPA that can guarantee your selection into IIM Ahmedabad as an engineering student. Every institute however specifies a minimum percentage of graduation score that you have to achieve to be eligible for admission. For IIMs, the minimum percentage required lies in the range of 50 – 60 percent. Remember, the higher your graduation score is the more chances of your admission.
Assuming you are a general category student, the bachelor cut-off is mentioned in the table below:
|
AC-1 |
68.92 |
|
AC-2 |
83.37 |
|
AC-3 |
84.5 |
|
AC-4 |
79.95 |
The UG score is an important criterion in the selection for PI and final shortlisting. However, these marks constitute only a tiny component of the overall criteria, so rather than focusing on graduation score, it's recommended that you prioritize CAT and WAT-GDPI preparation.

Students getting admission at IIM Ahmedabad usually have past academics - 90/90/85 and a CAT score of around 99.85+.
Comments
The criteria to get into IIM Ahmedabad depends on the 10th, 12th, and the percentile of the entrance exam of CAT. The updated admission criteria of the Institute are always available for reference on the official website of the Institute.
The admission also depends on the application rating or AR. For example, if you score above 90 in 10th and 12th then the AR would be 10 each. Suppose the scores in 10th and 12th decrease to 80-90, then the AR would also decrease to 8.
Several cases are mentioned below so that you can get an idea about AR.
| Case | Engineering CGPA | AR |
| 1 | More than 8.5 | 10 |
| 2 | 7.5-8.5 | 8 |
| 3 | 7-7.5 | 5 |
| 4 | 6-7 | 3 |
The total application rating is out of 30 with 10 each from 10th, 12th, and graduation scores.
The scores that you need to obtain in academics to score a good AR are as follows.
- AR - 30, you need to score approximately 99.75+
- AR - 28, you need to score approximately 99.81+
- AIR - 26, you will need to score more than 99.87+
- AIR - 25, you need to score more than 99.91 +
Therefore, it's important to attain high academics and the CAT percentile to get admission in IIM Ahmedabad. People with an AR of 25 and the CAT percentile of 99.85 didn’t get a call from IIM Ahmedabad. So, it's difficult to get an admission.
