I've got 5.6 CGPA in 10th, 62% in 12th and 60% in graduation. Can I get a call from IIM if I get score of 97+ in CAT?

You can get a call, but the thing is that, you will get call form all new IIMs, and if you are not an engineering student, then you can get a call from old and new IIMs. -

Given your past acads, it seems unlikely to get a call from old IIMs if you are from the general category. Almost all the IIMs have put a cap of 60% in 10th and 12th now. However, if you score above 99 percentile, you may have a shot.

7 years agoDifferent IIMs give different weightage to scores of 10 12 & graduation. So will you be selected if you get 97+ percentile? For some yes, for some no. But for sure you will get a very highly rated college if you do that, and know it that there are certain colleges who have rankings similar to IIM's.
