IIM Ahmedabad - Indian Institute of Management

Your academic performance looks impressive and in my opinion you should get a GD/PI call from IIMA if you secure more than 99 percentile.

I am not sure as you would be borderline case for all IIMs and other top colleges. And also as soon as results are out, shortlists are announced. Hence you should not worry about the interview calls. I would suggest you to focus on the CAT and do your best.

It should totally depend on you. IIMs or any other business school do not impose a condition on type of course. The only requirement is that you should have completed your bachelor's degree with minimum 60% marks.

You can take admission in any graduation degree of your choice to appear for CAT, XAT or MAT etc. to do MBA or PGDM.

Yes there are scholarships both at central and state levels.Moreover there are financial institutions to offer study loans .What one requires is hard work and get good job soon after degree and IIMs have the repo for the same.The loan can be easily paid back.

You may go for CAT using Career Launcher's study material, and appear its test series too.
it is much good enough.

Dear Himanshu,
If you manages to score good somewhat around 99% in CAT and considering your past academics you will most probably get call from IIM-AHM.but for admission they will consider other things as well.such as your social activities , social life, skills, communications, etc.
All the very best

You seem to be on the average side for an ST candidate. Given your performance, I would guess the range to be between 90 percentile to 97 percentile. To be on the safer side, you should aim for higher percentile 99.99. Please note that the cutoffs change every year and it is impossible to guess the cutoff. Hence put in your best foot forward.
