What is the cutoff for IIM Amritsar (general) and other baby IIMs (estimated percentile required for conversion, not just calls)?
It is possible to achieve a high percentile in the CAT exam, such as 99+, and still not receive an invitation from any Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs). This is because a high percentile alone is not always sufficient for guaranteed acceptance.
It is important to note that IIMs take into consideration a candidate's overall academic performance since the 10th standard and not just their CAT percentile. Additionally, candidates must also clear the Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds. Furthermore, candidates from an engineering background may have a slight disadvantage in terms of points.
Some IIMs also place a significant emphasis on work experience.
| Category | Quantitative Aptitude(Percentile) | Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning(Percentile) | Verbal & Reading Comprehension(Percentile) | Total(Overall Percentile) |
| Section-1 | Section-2 | Section-3 | ||
| General | 80 | 75 | 75 | 85 |
| EWS | 80 | 75 | 75 | 85 |
| Non-Creamy Other Backward Classes (NC-OBC) | 65 | 60 | 60 | 75 |
| Scheduled Castes (SC) | 55 | 50 | 50 | 55 |
| Scheduled Tribes (ST) | 35 | 35 | 35 | 40 |
| Persons with Disabilities (PwD) | 35 | 35 | 35 | 40 |
It is highly recommended to visit the official websites of the IIMs you are interested in for detailed information on the selection criteria and to keep yourself updated. You can also connect with current students via LinkedIn to gather more information. It's important to note that selection criteria can slightly change every year.
