You must get above 95% for any IIM and for the Kolkata try getting at least 98-99. Scholarship gives leverage in fees only not the eligibility criteria.

Hello Vinesh,
Of course the CAT score is given the most preference in the admission process. The percentage of it considered in the total process, however differs from college to college. Some universities have the break-up like this: 60% CAT score and 40% GD/PI.
This distribution differs, but always the CAT score will have the highest percentage.
The 'graduation score' is given the lowest preference in almost all the universities or sometimes it isn't even considered, because nowadays GD/PI have become more important in the admission process.
All the best.

There are other ways to do MBA in India. You may opt for GMAT, wherein many Indian universities are taking intake, plus the same is relatively easy to CAT.

Hello Dheeraj,
Your grades in school or college don't decide whether you will crack CAT for IIMS or not. You must start preparing for CAT the most popular exam for MBA if you want to get in any IIM. The ideal time to prepare is your 2nd year of Graduation. Make your basics strong, take coaching for CAT and forget your grades used to be low. Anyone can give CAT from any field or degree. After you crack CAT with good scores, you have to give Interview which will decide your branch of IIM. All the best.

You need to dedicate good 6-7 hours per day to learn and understand the concepts. Once you are done with concepts, start giving mock tests. Give as many mock tests as you can so that you know what's your preparation level and how much more you need to prepare. Most of all, dedication and commitment towards studies are required.

Hi Nikita, Students new to paper pattern can take up to a year or more, but the ones with a bit background or knowledge can grasp the concept overall in 6 to 8 months. There are students who study from years and still can't make to Iims and even the fresher crack the admission process with less training. You need passion and determination.

Your CAT percentile doesnt always have to be the limiting factor in finding a good B-school. I found one and so are so many others who arent willing to give up despite the unlucky performance on CAT day.
I have applied to Sri Balaji Societys BIMM and other colleges which offer two year PGDM programme. in multiple specializations. they have 4 B-schools and 13 courses each of which is as good as the other(as per inputs from friends and alumni). I have applied to other B-schools too and look forward to get admission in at least one of these but what attracts me towards Sri Balaji Society is their placement. Almost all students get plac
