hello, I have a profile of 6/6/5. due to financial reasons I was forced to take a drop in my graduation for 1 year but completed it. I belong to OBC category. is any IIM possible? which other colleges should I target?

Can you tell me if an MTech will create an issue for my profile?

IIMs look a lot for diversity. There would be questions on why a double Masters which you will have to justify but on a brighter note you will have a different profile than most others and thus have an advantage in that sense.

Hi, I am Swapnil. I have my final year of BBA coming up and will give CAT2025. I am a SC category candidate with 8/8 profile. How much percentile do I need for IIM Ahmedabad interview call?

@swapnil By your 8/8 profile, I do think you are talking about your 10th and 12th marks. Building onto that I have seen NCOBC candidates with workex get calls at about 91%ile. Your category gives you a bit of a boost but still you should aim for a minimum of 95%ile. That being said, the more you score, the better your chances are. All the best!

I did my engineering in mechanical. I have just completed my final year and am planning on giving CAT 2025. Can you tell me if this counts as continuous year or a gap year?

Hi! I got average marks throughout my education that is between 70-80% and am pursuing a Bachelors degree in economics. Will it be tough for me to get interview calls from IIMs?

@Vishal that depends a lot on which IIMs are you talking about. BLACKIMS will sure be a bit difficult but not at all impossible. If you are talking about CAP calls, you have a slightly better chance. Still anything is possble with a good CAT score so prepare well!

 Remember everything I wrote above is after assuming that you fall under the General Category.

I have completed my Masters in Mass Communication with 9.4 cgpa. Also I got above 90% in 10th and above 80% in 12th. In my Bachelors, I again got a good 9.3 cgpa but I was worried about how my already done Masters will affect my chances in CAT 2025... Any help is appreciated

@Soumi You have a very good profile which will help you out in getting a high Composite Score. Your Masters will not affect the chances of you getting calls from good colleges. Saying that, once you get the interview calls be prepared for few questions regarding a decision to take up a second Masters degree. 

Perform well in CAT and anything close to 99% will probably get you calls from Tier 1 B-Schools. All the best and prepare well!

I am a fresher from IIT Roorkee pursuing B. Architecture and have a decent 9.12 CGPA till now. I am planning to give CAT this year. What should I do and how do I get into good IIMs?
