My academic is not good. 10th-56%, 12th-52% and BBA- 69 CGPA. Is there any chance to get good MBA college by appearing in CMAT?
Like GIM Goa, SIMSREE, Great Lakes, K.J Somaiya, IFMR etc.

Firstly it is very crucial to be always positive in life, your percentage did decrease in 12th but your score in BBA is good, the criteria for CMAT is:
1) Resident of India
2) Graduate in any discipline.There is no percentage demand as such. So be happy, as you can surely go for it.
3. Various segments like quantitative technique, logical reasoning, language comprehension and general awareness are covered. So take good coaching in all these segments and prepare yourself and come out with flying colors and MBA is surely yours. Wish you good luck!! -
Your admission depends on your entrance exam scores. Your prior academics will be considered only if you and another candidate have the same percentile. In such a case the candidate with better academics will be considered. However apart from this situation, a good score in entrance exam will be enough to get a call from top B-Schools. -
Some institutes follow cut-off based admission. So, if you have a good score in CMAT and if you perform well in GD/What/PI, you might have a decent chance. However, some institutes like IFMR follow profile based shortlisting. The overall profile of the candidate including academics, achievements, work experience are given weightage. In such cases, your chances are low. -
Don't think too much about your past results and concentrate on CMAT because excellent scores in CMAT will make you eligible for any college. -

Very difficult due to bad academic track record. Your 10th and 12th both below 60%, most of organisation has criteria 60 throughout career. If you score very high in CMAT and hot selected then at the time of placement facing problem. One thing do job and do PGPM from GLIM, it is better option. -
Depends on the CMAT score you get.

Give your best and apply. Nothing can be said for certain. But if you can justify your score and perform well in interviews you stand a chance of getting into the colleges. -
As your academics are poor, you need to score 99+ percentile in CMAT to have a fair chance at good B-Schools.
