MBA Preparation FAQs

What percentile is required to get calls from IIMs?
There is no single cut-off for all candidates. Percentile requirements depend on the IIM, category, academics, and work experience. Top IIMs usually call candidates above 98–99 percentile, while strong profiles may receive calls at slightly lower scores.
Are Class 10 and 12 marks important for IIM admission?
Yes. Most IIMs consider Class 10 and 12 marks during shortlisting. Academic scores usually carry around 10% weightage in the composite score, though the exact percentage differs across institutes.
Is work experience mandatory for getting into IIMs?
No, work experience is not mandatory. Freshers also get selected every year. However, many IIMs give extra weightage to relevant work experience, which can improve shortlisting and final selection chances.

Most serious aspirants attempt 30 to 50 full-length mock tests before CAT. What matters more is detailed analysis after each mock to improve accuracy, time management, and section-wise strategy.
