Are there any freshers in IIM Ahmedabad from colleges other than IITs, NITs and BITS?
Yes, there are lots of freshers in IIM Ahmedabad who are not IIT, NIT, or BITS alumni. It’s not a matter of concern if you don’t belong to any of these. As IIM Ahmedabad looks for consistent academic performance rather than the brand name. If you take a look at the IIM Ahmedabad batch profile of 2017-19, you will see that students from IITs take up 36% and students from NIT+BITS take up 13%. The rest of the batch is from other colleges.
Since the majority of the batch was freshers (39%), you will find many students from tier 2 colleges.

Yes, there are many freshers in IIM Ahmedabad from colleges other than IIMs, NITs, and BITS. IIM will not reject you just because you didn't come from an IIT, BITS, or an NIT. IIMs look for certain other attributes in the candidates. This may, however, vary from one IIM to the other.
I personally know many such people, who have done their graduation/B Tech. from a private institute or state university and still secured a seat in IIM Ahmedabad.
Studying in a premier institute such as IITs, NITs or BITS doesn’t boost your chances of getting through the selection process. If the admission committee finds you eligible, you will definitely convert the call. They will make you an admission offer, irrespective of your undergrad college.
Your stand is as strong as the candidates from such premier institutes of the country. So, do your best and get ready for the competition ahead.
