IIM Ahmedabad: 14 Answered Questions

What is the percentile that will ensure a call from IIM Calcutta, Lucknow, Bangalore, and Ahmadabad having 83% in 10th, 83% in 12th and a 6.9 CPGA in graduation, till now having no work experience?

Aditi BanerjeeLives in Bangalore

First of all, bear in mind that there is never a 100% certainty of getting a call from a specific interest as there are many factors that determine it. 

Considering your profile that lacks work experience and has witnessed a decline in the graduation marks, I don’t consider anything below 99.9 to fetch you a call from institutes like IIM Calcutta, Lucknow, Bangalore, and Ahmedabad. All these institutes only accept the best profiles and high scores. So unless you score a perfect 100, it will be difficult to get admission here.

What is the safe score for IIM A?

Aparna Das
Sonal Mishrastudied at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

By safe score, I assume you are enquiring about the IIM Ahmedabad minimum cutoff. 

Admission to the top MBA colleges in India including IIMs requires a minimum CAT cutoff of 90 percentile. Tier-1 IIMs such as IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, IIM Lucknow, and IIM Kozhikode have a high cutoff around 99+ whereas Tier 2 IIMs requires CAT cut off around 70-80 percentile. 

CAT cut-off 2022 for admission to the IIMs is in the range between 95-100 percentile for all categories. For General category students, the CAT 2022 cut-off percentile for top IIMs is around 98-100 percentile and the cutoff is lower in the case of Reserved Category and baby IIMs. 

Specifically speaking of IIM Ahmedabad, the overall qualifying CAT cut-off is

  • General Category: 80 percentile 
  • NC-ONC and Transgender Categories: 75 percentile 
  • SC and PwD: 70 percentile
  • ST: 60 percentile 

The IM Ahmedabad shortlisting process has begun and the institute has notified the eligible candidates.

How much do I score in engineering to get in IIM Ahmedabad?

Sonal Mishrastudied at Indian Institute of Management, 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.

What is the cutoff of IIM Ahmedabad 2020?

Raktim Tarafdar

The IIMs have released their 2023 qualifying CAT cutoffs in their admission brochures. 

Here are the 2023 category-wise qualifying CAT cutoffs for IIM Ahmedabad admissions-

Category

Cutoff percentile

General

80

OBC

75

EwS

80

SC

70

ST

60

The expected final CAT 2023 cutoff for IIM Ahmedabad is 99 (if you have 80+ percentage in 10th, 12th and Bachelor’s). If not, around 99.5+ percentile is a decent CAT score to expected a call.

To secure admission into IIM Ahmedabad, you need a very high percentile in the CAT examination. But percentile is not the only criteria, and the final selection also depends on other factors like Analytical Writing Test (AWT), Personal Interview (PI), etc. 

Moreover, the 99-99.5+ criteria is for engineering students. This has been done to maintain batch diversity. General students from other backgrounds can get a call and convert successfully at less than 90 percentile. 

Keep a track of the updated final cutoffs as soon as IIM Ahmedabad releases the admission criteria 2024-26.

Will I get IIM A 100 percentile?

Sapna Malik updated
Sampriti Bosestudied at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

Firstly, it’s important to note that there are 2 types of CAT cutoffs for IIM admission: qualifying cutoff and final cutoff

Admission to IIMs or in fact any top B School requires the minimum CAT 2023 cutoff is expected to be the 90 percentile. A 99+ CAT percentile makes you eligible to apply for top IIMs like IIM Bangalore, IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Lucknow, IIM Calcutta, and IIM Kozhikode. In fact, a 98+ in the CAT percentile guarantees a call from these Iimss. 

Some top IIMs that sends calls to 98+ score are 

  • IIM Lucknow
  • IIM Bangalore
  • IIM Kozhikode
  • IIM Ahmedabad
  • IIM Calcutta
  • IIM Shillong
  • IIM Indore

However, a very important point to consider is that these IIMs include other parameters for final selection. Usually, maximum weightage is given to CAT followed by academic profile, work experience, and gender diversity. So, a CAT score does not necessarily guarantee admission to IIM Ahmedabad.

For instance, a candidate with 100 percentile but no work experience might not get admission while a candidate with 95 percentile but excellent work experience might get admission to IIM Ahmedabad. So all factors should be considered and not just the CAT score.

How much percentile do I need to score in the CAT 2020 to get a call from IIM Ahmedabad as a general category candidate with 65% in 10th class 70% in 12th class 81% in engineering?

Rajeev ChatterjeeStudied at Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Delhi

This might be disheartening but the truth is you will never receive a call from IIM Ahmedabad even if you score 100 percentile. 

  • According to the latest selection criteria of IIM Ahmedabad, you are disqualified even before appearing for the CAT exam. Since you have a poor academic record, your chances of getting a call from any of the BLACKI IIMs is almost none. 
  • Sohum Sen, who was one of the toppers of CAT 2019 did not receive a call from IIM Ahmedabad with a 99.98 percentile solely because of his academic performance which is 81% in 10th; 72% in 12th, and 7.93 in graduation.
  • IIM Ahmedabad considers giving a call to candidates who have a minimum of 80% in their 10th and 12th examinations. Sohum Sen failed this criterion and you also do not qualify considering this fact.

Other top institutions give less importance to past academic records, you can aim for them. 99.7+ in CAT and 99.5+ in CAT XAT will ensure high chances of your selection in such institutions i.e. FMS, MDI, XLRI.

Girish Singh
Hardik NagarCAT 100 percentiler, IIMA Alumnus, Co Founder at Cracku

The CAT score required to gain admission to the top IIMs is determined by one's profile. The admission process at IIM Ahmedabad is a little complicated, and it is determined by a number of factors other than the candidate's CAT score. The following are the broad criteria for receiving a call from the IIMs:

  • Academic profile, including grades in 10th, 12th, and undergrad.
  • Academic Variety.
  • Working experience
  • Diversity in gender.
  • Evaluation by category (EWS, NC-OBC, SC, ST, PWD).

The following are the weights assigned to each component in order to calculate the Final Composite Score:
 

COMPONENTS WEIGHTS
CAT Score 25 Points
Personal Interview 50 Points
Analytical Writing Test 10 Points
Application Rating 15 Points
Total 100

Why does IIM Ahmedabad have low percentile cut offs when they are only admitting students at 99.5+ percentile?

Supriya Sarkar
Namrata Das

The 99.5+ percentile requirement is for candidates from an engineering background.

This is because 90 percent of CAT aspirants are engineers. 

A few years back, one of my friends with less than 90 percentile in CAT got a call from IIM Ahmedabad, and converted successfully. He was from the general category, and had a non engineering background. 

The aim of IIM Ahmedabad is to maintain batch diversity. 99.5 percentile means roughly 1000 candidates, far more than the quota for engineering background. 

The final cutoff is much lower for candidates from other academic backgrounds. Moreover, the final selections are not solely based on CAT percentile.
