CAT scores are automatically sent to IIMs you selected in your CAT application. IIM-Ahmedabad is the top MBA institute in the country. The cut-off depends on the percentile achieved by other test takers. Mostly, you should score around 99 percentile to get short-listed for the interview. Your previous academic grades have some weightage in the selection. Every year changes happen so you should be up to date. CAT institutes help you to prepare for the exam pattern, etc.

To get into IIM, you need to write CAT exam. After CAT, if you get the eligible percentile to get into IIM then you have to face a personal interview in any of the prescribed IIM from your choice based on the marks. Sometimes, even you get 100 percentile in CAT, you may not get an IIM, all you need to do is maintain sounding academic background with good communication skills. This would certainly help in shortlisting you.
