Hi Adrita,
IIM Bangalore as such does not have any minimum cutoff percentage in class 10th, 12th or Bachelors, which you need to clear. However, it assigns a weight of 50% (20% for 10th, 10% for 12th and 20% for bachelors score) and thus, it would be difficult to get a call from IIM Bangalore (refer to http://www.iimb.ac.in/sites/default/files/iimb-pgp-admission-process.pdf). IIM Ahmedabad on the other hand has a minimum cutoff percentage which is set at 80 percentile score. Thus, looking at your graduation score, it would be impossible to get a call from IIMA (unless you are in top 20 percentile at your college, please refer to https:/

Hello,
The IIMs are the top ranking institutions for management programs. So, obviously the percentile would be higher only.
Usually, the percentile will be above 90 for which you need to have good profile.

Hello! Since the IIMs lay significant weight age to the past academic scores, it's really good that you've scored around 90%. Just try scoring the same percentage marks (around 90) in UG too, which will strengthen your chances of getting an IIM interview call(provided you score well in CAT too). Good luck!

For getting into IIM, first you need to attend for PI/What rounds conducted by IIM's. For getting a call from reputed IIM's you must possess a good percentile in CAT exam. Good percentile could be at-least more than 90 for general category.
These play a major role in getting a call from IIM. An average scholar with at least an aggregate of 85% in X, XII and 65% in UG can get a chance to get into IIM.
One should be able to speak fluently in English, which helps to defeat the others in GD (in some cases) and it also helps in PI as well. Because one needs to understand what the interviewer is asking and able to communicate his/her views cle

There are 20 functional IIMs right now in the country. Every year each of them releases their criteria for calling students for GD/WAT/PI rounds. Though academic performance at school does make an impact on a student's chances of getting a call from the IIMs, it is to be kept in mind that it's not the only criteria. One can always make up in other areas like CAT percentile, UG percentage or work experience. As far as weight-age is considered, different IIMs weigh the scores differently while calculating their composite scores for the selection process. Since you are still in the first year of your under graduation, try to score as high

No and yes.
While for some IIMs, it is a matter to gain marks, some IIMs are also there which do not justify any candidate on the basis of his/her job experience.
So, it will be good to have at least 1-year of work experience. On the contrary, there will be no any problem if you don't have any prior work experience.

Yes, you can. Nothing is impossible in the world.
But, if you are keen to do so, because CAT exam needs dedication and hard work . You should become serious for your exam and you should try to improve your study strategies.
