    You must have a qualifying percentage to be sure. Then, regarding the other attributes, you must be fully satisfactory. You got to be good, though you need not be excellent.

    Yes you can definitely get, but you need good work experience to support and good CAT score above 90+ with good GDPI. You can definitely get tier one and tier two B schools.

    Only 15% weightage is given to past academic records so you still have 85% with you. Therefore focus on your written exams and prepare well for GD/PI rounds.

    See all depends on CAT score.Some IIMs may call you if you have excellent score in CAT. Chances maybe low but why not give a try. sometimes there may be a miracle. Do not lose hope. Life may be difficult but the journey is enjoying and lovable. So try and make a mark.

    Yes, you can get admission to a college if you score well in the CAT even if your academic score is low. Many Schools consider other factors in addition to CAT scores, such as academic profile, extracurricular activities, and personal traits. The minimum cutoff for admission to IIMs and top b schools may consider CAT score between 80-90 percentile.

    First, you will have to clear the CAT cut-off to get shortlisted for an interview. Thereafter, you would progress through the interview rounds based on your performance in each round example: group discussion, personal interview etc.
