IIM Indore invites freshers with 97.5+ in CAT. Those with 90+ in 10th, 12th and graduation may receive a call at 97+. Work experience and an impressive educational and professional record may result in a call at 96 percentile. But 96 is the minimum requirement for a GEM (General Engineer Male) to receive a call from IIM Indore. For someone who belongs to a quote of any kind, the minimum requirement may further relax.
But a call from IIM Indore does not mean anything unless you perform well in the WAT and PI rounds. Only after performing well in WAT and PI can you expect to receive admission at the college.
