Hi,
If you have absolutely no idea about the exam and process,I suggest you join a coaching Institute. There are many like T.I.M.E., Career Launcher and IMS. Study hard and get a good score.
Also, remember that CAT score is not the only thing that can get you an admission into an IIM. Your profile also matters a lot. You can find your chances here at https://www.shiksha.com/mba/resources/iim-call-predictor

CAT does not provide percentages and all shortlists are announced on percentile. To get into established IIMs you will have to secure atleast 98.5 percentile. Hence do as good in CAT as you can.

Dear Mayank,
For Admission in IIM's one must need to score atleast 90% for any of IIM"S and for best one's above 95% is required.
If you manage to then considering your past scores you will make it.
All the very best

Hi
IIMs dont offer MBA. They offer PGDM/PGP/PGPX etc. The difference between any PGPs (PGDM, PGDBM etc.) and an MBA is:
MBA/MMS is offered by 'Universities' or 'Colleges that are affiliated to Universities' or Central Body directly under the Indian Govt while PGDM/PGP is offered by individual colleges and IIM's.Fees is high in case of PGDM/PGP as compared to MMS/MBA.
PGDM is much more flexible in terms of syllabus as syllabus is not bounded by a particular university.
Ideally PGDM program is residential while MBA is not.
PGDM at IIMs are as globally best as MBA abroad at a lesser cost.

Yes, in the history of IIM not one student has dropped because of financial reasons. There are sufficient number of scholarships available including special need based scholarship. Also financing is not at all an issue as IIMs make sure that you have access to bank loan with minimum paperwork and minimum interest rates.

Hi Krishnakamal, Yes academic percentage 10th, 12th and graduation plays a role in your selection for IIM. The weight age that they give for academic scores is different for different colleges.

Hi Ganesh,
You did not mentioned which course is doing now? There are many colleges offer Value Added courses along with Degrees and Masters. This will help students to find a job easier and getting adequate knowledge in some areas.
For Example, if you are doing BBA/ B Com courses, you can do add on courses in
1. Digital Marketing
2. SAP
3. Computerized Accounting etc.
BCA / B.Sc-IT/CS, B Tech -CSE / IT students can take
1. Web Applications and Development2. Cloud Computing 3. Networking4. Software Testing etc. along with graduate studies
Learning English and Communication skills, Business Writing skills will be an added advantage.

There is no fixed answer for this as there are a lot of factors that determine your chances of getting into IIMA. IIMA usually prepares composite score which assigns different weights to your 10th, 12th and UG marks and also CAT Percentile. With 65% and 71% you are seriously disadvantaged in 10th and 12th, hence you will have to make sure that you get really good CAT percentile. If I have to guess, I would tell you to score more than 99.8 percentile. SO prepare really well and give your best shot at CAT.
