I scored 81% in 10th and 62% in 12th (science). Do I have a chance of making it to IIM AHMEDABAD?

MBA from IIM Bangalore (2018)

IIM Ahmedabad or even the top IIMs have very strict rules and regulations regarding the admission process. They strictly adhere to these rules. As of now, there is a rule that the average result combining class 10th and 12th should be at least 80 percent (for Science Students) and 87 percent (for Commerce Students).

If you are a general category student then it is less likely that you will be selected. Even if you get 100 percentile in CAT, you will not be shortlisted because of these criteria. However, you have other alternatives such as FMS, MDI Gurgaon, SP Jain, etc. These are some of the popular B-Schools that select students based on their CAT scores.

How do I make the best out of IIM Ahmedabad and B-School in general?

KD
Kulkarni Dhiraj Posted On : November 23rd, 2022
PGP 2013-2015

The primary thing to focus on while at IIM Ahmedabad or any other B School is the journey and not the end. Don’t start your college with the job as the end result. Upgrade your mindset. College is much more than just placements and jobs.

College life is about life struggles, a lot of knowledge, knowing your own self, finding your area or interests and pursuing your passion. So I would say to make the most of the B School, keep the thoughts of your future job aside and adopt a nature of learning new things every day.

Make the most of the liberal days in your life because once you start working your freedom will be restricted.

Am I eligible for IIM Ahmedabad with 10th 87.83%, 12th 78.2% and graduation BSc 88%?

sd
saptarshi dutta Posted On : June 27th, 2023

You are eligible for IIM Ahmedabad. However, the question is whether you will get a call from IIM A or not. For IIM Ahmedabad, as per the 2021-23 shortlisting criteria, you need to be in the top 80% at each step of academics and CAT. But with your 12th score, you probably won’t be in the 80% as you are from the science stream. So you might not be shortlisted for IIM Ahmedabad.

Your chances of getting into IIM Ahmedabad or any of the BLACKI are quite thin. However, you should consider other top institutions like FMS and MDA that do not take into account past academic performance.

Despite the thin chances try to score 99.7+ in your CAT. Since you are from a non-Engineering background, you won’t face competition from among the engineering graduates. You’ll also get an advantage in the name of academic diversity. Make sure to get some work experience to make your chances of getting into IIM Ahmedabad better. 

Give your CAT all the effort. If not the top IIMs, you will get admission into the best MBA institutions in India.

How good is the IIM Ahmedabad PGPX 1-year full-time program?

DP
Devansh Pathak Posted On : December 22nd, 2022
Studied at IIM Ahmedabad

If your current package is less than 15 LPA, pursuing PGPX 1-year full-time program at IIM Ahmedabad is good. You should look at international colleges if your current package exceeds 15 LPA. You should always do your MBA and find a job outside of India. India is simply the world's back office. It is different if you want to be an IAS officer, but Indian corporate is slavery and junk. Working here for an extended period of time will undoubtedly turn you into a lunatic.

One week of college life is enough to demonstrate the quality of American education. The tasks are out of this world. Americans are among the world's smartest and most innovative people. As a last resort, continue your education in India. Even if you have more than 5 years of work experience, IIM A/ISB will only hire you in one of India's back offices.

If I do my graduation from IGNOU, will there be any difference in chances of getting admission to IIM Ahmedabad?

RS
Rupali Samal Posted On : December 8th, 2023

An undergraduate degree from IGNOU is acceptable for taking the CAT and getting into an IIM. 

An IGNOU degree in no way means that you can not try for the IIMs. But whether an IGNOU degree will lower your chances or not, is solely known upon the interviewers. 

Your chances of getting selected largely depend on your overall profile. One of my seniors at IIM Ahmedabad had completed his UG from IGNOU. His overall profile was really impressive, and he also possessed work experience of 2 years as a CA. Thus, he was selected for IIMA.

Make sure to maintain an impressive academic profile, and score well in your CAT exam. If you do so, an IGNOU degree most likely won’t hinder your selection into IIM Ahmedabad.
