If you have scored more than 50% in your graduation, you are eligible for application.
However, the selection process of IIMs entails an entrance examination i.e. CAT, GD and personal interviews, CAT has an important section called verbal ability in English. Group discussions and interviews which are likely to be conducted in English although not compulsorily.
Even if you have done your studies in Hindi, you must prepare for CAT and give a special focus on verbal ability. About one year vigorous preparation in English can make you write CAT with full confidence.
You must display proficiency in English. -
