Hi,
No. This is not required. A percentile above 99.30 percentile gives you a high chance of getting a call from IIM A, B, C.
You can check the profile of the current and previous batches that studied at IIMA to know about their education and work experience background.

Hi,
For getting into IIM A,B,C , a percentile above 99 should be competitive enough.
However, for new IIMs this figure reduces to 97-99.

Is it better to study in this college than abroad? Does it guarantee placements? Will I easily get a bank loan if I pursue MBA here?

Hi Kashish,
It 's hard to answer which is better as you did not mention which college are you comparing with. Once you get into IIMA, you need not worry about placements. Banks would be waiting for you to give the loan, I still remember my first day in college when many bank managers and their staff

Hi Shubamdange,
The percentile varies from year to year as the selection criteria vary. IIMs look for overall performance and potential of a candidate apart from academics and percentile, there is a significant shift in the selection process from academic-centric to overall performance and capabiliti
