I got 82% in 10th and 70% in 12th. Can I get an admission in IIM-Calcutta?
There are a number of factors that IIM Calcutta takes into consideration during the selection process of the students. However, out of the 3 top IIMs it has the simplest criteria wherein a CAT score above 99.8% can maximize your chances of admission. It's difficult to get admission to other IIMs even with a CAT score above 99.99%
Some other factors that determine your admission chances are
- Graduation Scores: The higher your graduation score, the higher your chances of admission to IIM Calcutta.
- Profile: The more diverse your profile is with a lot of achievements the higher your chances of admission.
- Gender diversity: Although this is an uncontrollable factor, it is considered while shortlisting.
- Academic Diversity: Non-engineers have better chances of admission than a GEM.
Now, considering your profile, you have great marks in class 10th but average marks in class 12th. So to increase your chances of admission, you need a high CAT score of around 99.98% especially if you don’t have legit work experience.

Yes, all you need to do is focus on your CAT score and score around 99.5 or more.
The first stage for admission is the PI rounds which take place on the basis of your composite score. The composite score has
-
CAT score
-
Class 10th score
-
Class 12th score
-
Gender Diversity
Your class 10th and 12th scores will be calculated as follows
Class 10- Greater than or equal to 80 gets 10 marks
Class 12- Greater than or equal to 70 gets 6 marks.
This score is not a bad one and still can get you into IIMC as long as you get a high CAT score.
For the next round, your work experience comes into consideration. Your above-average 10th marks and average or below average 12th marks demand a high CAT score along with above-average work experience to get into IIM Calcutta.
