I Scored 94.3% in 10th, 78% in 12th, 8+ CGPA in BTech. Can I Get into IIM Ahmedabad?

Ans: First step would be to get a call from IIM ABC. Improving your CV will not help you to get a call in this short period of time. The only way to get a call would be to do well in CAT. If improving CV does not affect your preparation for the exam then can devote your time for that purpose.

Ans: Hello dear.
To get admission to IIM, you have to crack the Common Admission Test (CAT), Written Ability Test (WAT), and Personal Interview (PI). There is no relation of 12th marks yet at least you must good score in a situation of tie.

If satisfied with the reply, pl like and follow me, else ask again.
Thanks

Ans: Aditya, To be eligible for admission to IIM Ahmedabad’s flagship MBA (PGP) program, you must hold a bachelor’s degree with at least 50% marks (or equivalent CGPA) as a General category candidate. Your 10th and 12th marks—92.4% and 89.2% respectively—position you well in the academic segment of the selection process. For your B.Tech in mechanical engineering, you need to maintain excellent college grades, as IIM Ahmedabad considers the graduation marks within the applicant pool for engineering/technical disciplines. Work experience, if relevant and well-documented (ideally between 24 to 36 months), contributes up to 5% in the initial shortlisting and final selection formula. Scoring above the qualifying minimum in the CAT exam is paramount; for the General category, a minimum overall 80 percentile with at least 70 in each section is required to be eligible for the Analytical Writing Test (AWT) and Personal Interview (PI), but securing a shortlist typically demands a 99 percentile or higher due to tough competition. Ultimately, IIM Ahmedabad’s selection gives significant—though not exclusive—weight to CAT, academic performance, work experience, and performance in the AWT and PI stages. Non-academic factors such as academic and gender diversity also play a limited role. If you perform very well in the CAT, have solid B.Tech marks, and strong work experience, your overall profile can be competitive for a call, understanding that every year’s actual shortlist depends on the entire applicant pool’s quality.

Recommendation: If you combine strong B.Tech grades, significant work experience, and an exceptionally high CAT percentile, your profile is eligible and can be considered for IIM Ahmedabad, though admission is highly competitive and depends on surpassing both the academic and CAT score thresholds set by the institute annually. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
