    Yes, you can pursue, but you need a very good CAT score as well as you need to do well in PIWAT. You will be asked questions about the drastic drop in class 12th percentage, so be prepared for the interview.
    All the best.

    Yes, you can do that. IIM's consider class 10th, 12th, graduation and CAT score card. So, if you can crack CAT exam, you can join IIM.

    Hello,

    Few pointers which the B Schools take into account -
    Academic Record - School, Graduation etc. CAT Score - While there is no cut off for CAT score, but there are sectional cut offs which are never public knowledge.
