What percentile should I score in CAT (GEM) to have a fair chance for IIM ABCLKIS, MDI, FMS, SPJIMR, and NITIE provided I have 95% in both 10th, 12th and 8.7 CGPA in BTech (fresher)?

To increase your chances of getting a call from different MBA colleges, it's important to know their criteria for selection.

• IIM Indore focuses primarily on academic scores.
• MDI doesn't consider academic scores but may grill candidates for low scores.
• Bangalore looks for both academics and work experience.
• Calcutta typically gives out calls to candidates with very high percentiles.
• Ahmedabad looks for academic diversity.
• SPJIMR considers your overall profile and academics.
• Kozhikode focuses on gender diversity and requires a very high percentile score.
• Shillong and NITIE typically call candidates with scores around 97, but NITIE has a higher cutoff for VARC.
• For Bangalore, a fresher may need a score of around 99.8-99.9, and with work experience, a score of around 98.8 may suffice.
• For Kozhikode, aim for a percentile score of 99.9 or above.
• FMS typically calls candidates with a score of 99.3 but aims for a score of 99.6 to increase conversion chances.
