Is it clear that because of 78.75% in 12th, I don't have any chances of getting into IIM Ahmedabad or Bangalore?
The admission to IIM Ahmedabad or IIM Bangalore depends on a lot of factors other than just class 12th marks. The tables below will give a breakup of the weightage used by both these institutes during the initial shortlisting and final admission for the batch of 2021-23. You can visit the official websites of both institutes for better clarity.
| Shortlisting | ||
| Categories | IIM Ahmedabad | IIM Bangalore |
| CAT Score | 65% | 40% |
| Academic Profile | 30% | 50% |
| Work Experience | 5% | 8% |
| Gender Diversity | - | 2% |

| Personal Interview (PI) | 50% | 30% |
| Academic Writing Test (AWT) / Writing Ability Test (WAT) | 10% | 10% |

As you can see, it depends on a lot of factors, and just because you have only 78.75% in 12th does not mean that you are out of the race. Your class 10th score, graduation score, CAT score along with your performance in PI and AWT/WAT will decide if you will be selected for them or not. It is also seen that IIM Bangalore gives more emphasis on work experience than IIM Ahmedabad.
Do not lose hope and prepare well for the CAT, PI, and AWT/WAT.
