How much I have to score in CAT to get call from IIM A, B and K if my CGPA in 10th is 6.7 and 57% in 12th and I'm from ST category?
-
See, there are many criteria which IIM-A, B, and K will consider before giving out interview calls or final admission. Like your graduation stream, graduation percentage, quality of work experience, and extracurricular (though there is no separate weightage for this, but it helps you a lot during interviews) and the list goes on. So, if you can share some more details about your profile, I can give you more meaningful answer. Still, considering these two things for IIM-K, I think anything above 88-90 percentile may get you an interview call. I cannot comment on IIM A and B.

You need to score more than 60% marks in graduation and for getting call form IIM, you need to score more than 99 percentile in CAT, if you want to get call form IIM a b c. -
Aim for the maximum, and then you can share your percentage and we can speculate as to where all you can get a call from. It is a fruitless and time waste exercise in my opinion to think about it now. -
Try to get 75 percent marks in all subjects. Categorically, you may get more privilege, but mind that your job and service are not underprivileged scope.
