How do I get into IIM Ahmedabad if my 10th class score is 78% and my 12th class score is 55%?

In order to get selected at IIM Ahmedabad, you must have a strong academic record because the institute gives high weightage to past academic records during its shortlisting process. It is even hard if you belong to the general category.

You should not lose hope as there are numerous other top b-schools that give less weightage to past academic records and more to CAT score and GDPI. So, your selection will not be much affected by it.

If you get a call from IIM Ahmedabad, you can give your best to impress the panelists during the interview but, even then your chances of converting will be slim or next to impossible. This is because your 12th standard marks are very low according to the bars set by IIM Ahmedabad.

There are top institutions such as the Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), Delhi which gives more importance to CAT score and less weightage to past academic records. Targeting such institutions will be good for you.
