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.

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.

48% in 12th can be a problem. But prepare well for CAT and try to score more than 90percentile. It might be of help somewhere. Do check the minimum eligibility requirements on the site of the colleges you mentioned. You can also check them on shiksha.com
