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!

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).

Dedicate one focused hour in the morning to QA formulas or an RC passage, one hour in the evening to DILR sets, and reserve weekends for full-length mocks and thorough review.

It is not too late, provided you adjust your scope. Focus directly on core topics, start taking sectional tests immediately, and spend time learning through mock test analysis.

Focus on formula sheets, mental math tables, grammar pointers, and your accumulated test error log. Avoid attempting full-length tests during the final three days before the exam.

Enrolling in a classroom programme is rarely practical with two months left. However, a dedicated mock test series or a targeted crash course for specific weak subjects can provide structured practice material.
