Is 70 percent good for IIM?

Admission to IIMs in general and IIM Ahmedabad specifically are done on the basis of the Common Admission Test or CAT. IIMs are the best institutes that provide MBA programs across the country and thus the admission criteria too are rigid. The focus on academic background is less than CAT and the minimum percentage required in Graduation is 50 percent marks in any discipline. The primary focus is on the CAT score and WAT-PI. 

Generally, IIMs eligibility criteria are 50 percent marks in Graduation and CAT scores. However, the IIM shortlisting criteria for admission include 95+ CAT percentile and 70 percent and above in graduation. This means 50% makes you eligible for admission but 70% and above makes you a better candidate for admission thereby increasing your chances of a call. It’s best to aim higher than the CAT cut-off percentile fixed for that year to maximize your chances of selection. 

So we can say that the Eligibility criteria for IIM admission include 50 percent in graduation combined with CAT score and GD-PI around.
