IIM Ahmedabad - Indian Institute of Management

Hi Kishan,
It's not the case, however, being from a good college would mean that you have already been in the best environments and have learned quite a lot from your time there.

Dear Rahul,
You will have to give CAT exam, only then you will get to know your chances of getting selected for IIM, Ahemdabad. For clearing CAT, you need to be smart, not knowledgeable, and according to me, Indian Army officers are always more than smart. There were many army officers who joined the army and continued their studies too and retired from higher posts. Solve more and more CAT papers and do give IQ tests (Standford Binet or Culture ), giving IQ tests will help you overcome all your fears.

Please apply through CAT exam to get an admit from IIM-A.

PGP is for people with no work experience or with work experience of a few years only. It is Masters in management equivalent according to international standards. While PGPX is an executive MBA which admits students with higher work experience & is equivalent to an actual MBA degree internationally.

Difficult as your academics are tad bit below average with respect to the requirements of IIM-Ahmedabad. Never the less, I would suggest you to give your best in CAT. You never know what will happen!

IIM A has a composite score kind of methodology wherein it takes into account your 10th, 12th, graduation scores & CAT scores and calculates a total score. Hence, yes you can get a call being a 7 pointer also provided you compensate for it by scoring very high in CAT and other academic exams.

From IIM A, most probably, yes. IIM Bangalore can be tricky. Depending on your work ex. (I wouldn't count on IIMB) also there is a 80% cutoff for 10th and 12th marks, if I am not wrong.

It's more than 50% but to get a call from IIM-A you need a very good academics as simple crossing the threshold eligibility criteria is not enough.

Your 10th score is below par to get a call from IIM-Ahmedabad. So no, you might not get a call from IIM-A.
