There is no chance to get into IIMs or FMS. You need to score minimum of 92% and more in CAT examination. -
No chance if you are from gen. category but if you are from gen. category then yes you can get a call.

Hi Debayan,
For admission into FMS-Delhi, you need to score in excess of 99.5percentile in CAT. The higher your CAT %ile is, the greater will be your chances. -
Hi,
Your HSC score might work against you in this. However, given that you belong to SC category you might end up getting calls from new IIMs. I am not sure about FMS though. IMI-Delhi can give you a call if they lay off the criteria of HSC cut off.
All the best. -
If you are from a general category, you cannot get admission in any of the mentioned exam (not sure about IMI-Delhi though, but I doubt if you'll get admission there as well).
If you are from OBC/SC/ST category, you can expect a call new IIMs and FMS.
SP Jain doesn't have any reservation quota, so you don't have many chances of getting a call from SPJain. However, SP Jain has a special profile-base shortlisting. So, if you have a really good profile, then you may expect a call from SP Jain.
