You need to score more than 98.5 percentile to get an interview call from FMS for general category.

The graduation percentage doesn't matter much, though it has a slight weightage. The thing that matters is CAT percentile. It is very much needed to get a CAT percentile of above 98.5. And when it comes to graduation, it is better to keep the overall percentage as above 80.

The students need more than 95-96 percentile in CAT to get a call. But old IIMs do not only give weightage to CAT, they also consider academics, work experience and other things.

Hello,
Academic score are as of now not required in FMS. So, you can target getting into FMS. For IIMs, it will be difficult in the ones like B or I giving very high weight to past academics. With 98+ percentile, you can get into 2nd generation IIMs.

For old IIMs it depends on your caste category. Also, old IIMs don't shortlist solely based on CAT score. They give a weight to profile so the percentile you require would depend on your profile. Anyways a safer percentile would be 98+ in any case. For FMS and MDI, the cut-off is near 98 percentile for all.

96-97 percentile to get interview call but after that it depends on interview performance.

Above 90 percentage marks were score.

You will need 99+ percentile in CAT to get FMS. FMS is usually a top choice just after IIMs. Hence you need to score higher.

To get into IIMs, FMs, MDI you should at least score more than 96 percentile at CAT. So, prepare well for CAT and go for it.

Aim for 99.6% and above at least. If your percentage is lower than that, it will be difficult in securing a call. It would be hard, but is possible.
