Your career graph is great. Now you need a CAT percentile more than 90% and you should give your best in GD-PI.

Only Academic is not the criteria to get other factors too. Check comparative between IIM A, B, C. https://bit.ly/35yUV8v

Your marks in all of your academic careers are good enough.
What matters is how much you can score in your MBA entrance examinations. The higher you score, the better chances you have to make it to some of the best B-Schools in the country.

Is studying at IIM Ahmedabad expensive?

Sanjana Srivastava

Yes, IIM Ahmedabad is certainly costly. IIM Ahmedabad total fees ranges between INR 64,000 and INR 33 lakh. The fees vary depending on the programme and specialisation selected by the students. The fee for certain programmes certainly falls in the higher end of the spectrum. Students need to pay INR 25 lakh as IIM Ahmedabad MBA fee. However, considering the fact that IIMA is one of the top-rate IIMs and limitless oppurtunities students can experience at the institute, it might be considered a worthwile investment. Further, the institute also offers financial aid to its students.
