In 10th I got 58%, 60% in 12th and 75% in graduation. Do I have a chance in IIM with good CAT score like 98 and 99 percentile?

Hi Shahid, You can get into Iims with good CAT score. Weightage of 10th, 12th and graduation marks is around 30%. Good %ile in CAT and interviews can overcome less score in your academics. All the Best.

There are two points which have to be noted:
1. Your past academic is not that good, (-ve point)
2. Your past academic performance has an increasing graph (+ve point)
With a percentile around 99-100 you will definitely get a call from IIMs. If you are able to explain with valid reasons regarding your poor performance in the past academics you stand a fair chance to get into an IIM. -
Only 99 percentile won't guarantee a seat in IIMs as the academic performance is also required and in CAT, sectional individual percentile should be very high to secure a seat in IIM. -
Hi,
Yes, you have fair chances of getting an IIM with these grades if you have got 98-100 percentile.
