    Yes Shubham, You can get a call from these IIMs if you score really well in CAT. Also, just for your information, not all IIMs consider your 10th and 12th marks. And many consider your graduation marks as well. IIM Ahmedabad specifically considers an average of 10th and 12th marks. So, you shouldn't really worry about these scores, just focus on getting a food score.

    You need to score really high in CAT to expect a call from IIM C. Call from IIM A/B would be difficult with your acads.

    If you are a general male candidate then it is difficult to get a call from A and B considering their current criterion of shortlisting but you have good chance for C, given you score decently in CAT.

    The only thing you have in your hands right now is CAT score, so just aim to ace it. Other things will sort themselves out, as a lot also depends on your peers sitting for the exam that year. And, the criteria changes year on year hence, nothing is set in stone there as well.

    You have to be in top 0.2 percentile to get a call from old IIMs.

    Here, if you have score 98+ CAT score, then chances are good to get a call. Rest depends on IIM ends maybe lucky you can get chance to prove yourself. Thanks.

    Your school marks doesn't matter much, the score in your CAT exam is something must, so do best there and get above 95 at least.

    If you are fresher then it is a hard task to get into IIM-A and B. For C, you need to score a very high percentile. In addition to your educational background, how you perform in GD and PI will also impact. Your 12th percentage and CGPA is good. Work on your communication skills and improve your general knowledge.
