IIM

Hello! All the IIMs accept the scores of only CAT and no other exam for their further admission processes. So without CAT, it is next to impossible to get admitted into an IIM. Though for the other non-IIMs, giving CAT is not compulsory; there are other exams too like XAT, CMAT, CET, etc.

If you are from general category, you have to score above 98 percentile. My friend scored 96 percentile from general category, but didn't get call from any of the IIMs.
Good luck!

For getting IIM call you should have a decent percentage in your academics. Atleast above 75 percentile. But sometimes you will get a call according to your percentile in CAT exam as it all depends various IIM. You can even get a call if you have 55% above in all academics.

Yes, it is possible, First you need to crack CAT exam then according to your percentile you will get a call from different B-school and of course for IIMs you need above 93-94 %ile because you belong to OBC category. Otherwise for non-reservation category you need above 97-99 %ile.

Yes, there is an option of pharmaceutical management too.

Graduation score matters for MBA, not 12th.

If you score perfect or very high CAT score, you stand chance of getting call from legacy IIMs and new IIMs.

Hello Yayati! The classes of the various IIMs generally commence during the months of June or July.

Check Shiksha call predictor. It should be near to 90%ile marks.
