Hi Akshat, You need at least 50% in your graduation to be eligible for entrance exams. As far as IIMs are concerned you need to score beyond 97 percentile and also have a good consistent score in you academics throughout, they do check that. Good Luck Mate.

Hi Akshat, Without having 50% or more, you cannot be eligible for CAT unless you have a reservation quota. However, a few Iims consider GMAT scores as well. But that is only for foreign citizens. Hope that helps. All the best!

Hello, Only if you belong to the SC/ST category (which need to score 45% marks), you stand a chance to pursue MBA from an IIM or non-IIM. Else, unfortunately, it is impossible since their basic criterion is that one must score at least 50% marks in graduation.

Admission in Masters (MBA) is based on the last qualifying exam (graduation, and work experience ) and entrance exam as well as the interview. Therefore, your graduation percentage matters for MBA.

50% is a base score. But still, if you score an exceptional pointer in CAT you might stand a chance for IIM (although the chances are pretty vague).
