IIM Calcutta asks for the CAT percentile which should be around 98.5+ to get a call for the interview. You should target to get above 98 percentile to get a call for GD and interview.
Thank you. If there are further queries, you can always ask. -
IIMB has reduced its weightage for CAT and looks at overall profile including X, XII, and graduation percentage. So it will depend on the college you are graduated from and your profile. If you are in gen. category, you'll at least need 98/99 percentile.

Work experience is a plus point, but I am not sure whether it is compulsory or not, but I am sure that you need 95+ percentile in your CAT in order get into top colleges.

As you are talking about IIM C, so it is quite difficult to say that someone can manage to enter into it. But, there are always an exceptions. For that, you should score 99+ile in CAT, and I would rather suggest why to target only IIM C, there are many other very good IIM and other B school which will suit you. -
Well, you need 98+%ile CAT percentile to be eligible for IIM-Calcutta and remember that they prefer a student with a minimum of three years of work experience.
Good luck. -
Hi dear,
For IIM-Calcutta with no experience, you anyhow have to score 98 percentile. Less than that will only take you to the interview but not the selection. You have a good percentage in class 10th and class 12th. Since you don't have any work experience, try for some certification courses, training, and workshops, they can help you a lot. -
