Admission:

I have gotten calls from IIM Indore and IIM Kozhikode apart from IIM Lucknow. I chose IIM Lucknow for it's academic rigor and also being ranked higher than the other IIMs. The eligibility is decided through the CAT exam and one-on-one interviews. Cutoffs can be as high as 99th percentile. Admission experience is very smooth. There are some documents to get before admission. But this is usually streamlined and very easy to accomplish.

IIM Lucknow: 4 Answered Questions

What percentile do I need to get into IIM Lucknow?

Akash VaderaStudied at Kirori Mal College, Delhi University (Graduated 2018)

Candidates need to score a minimum of 90 percentile in CAT to participate in the IIM Lucknow admission process for PGP courses. The cutoff for various courses at IIM Bangalore are as follows 

Course

Cutoff Percentile

PGP-ABM

85

Post Graduate Diploma in Sustainable Management 

85

PGPM

90

However, according to the cutoff trends, the minimum expected cutoff for IIM Lucknow is 90 and the maximum expected cutoff is 99. Some points to keep in mind are

  • Your maximum focus should be on your CAT score. Try to score 99+
  • Past academics are also taken into consideration in IIM Bangalore admission 
  • Work Experience carries 10% weightage
  • A decent to good profile can be get admitted by scoring 99.3+
  • An average profile's required percentile is unpredictable but should aim as high as they can.

Being a non-engineer female can increase your chances while vice versa can decrease your chances.

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.

How much minimum CAT percentile do I need to get IIM Calcutta or IIM Lucknow if I have Xth 93, XIIth 73, and BTech 70, without any work experience?

Khushboo Shafi
Raktim Tarafdar

Your graduation score is a bit low but it depends on your institute too. If you are from a top college, then this score will be considered pretty good. Moreover, past academics are not the only deciding factor when it comes to admission to IIMs. You do have decent changes if selection viewing your overall profile. 

As for the CAT Score, don’t set a fixed target and just aim for as high as you can. The cutoffs keep changing depending on various factors so what should remain constant are your efforts. Additionally, preparing for the interview is very crucial because it determines your chances of admission.
