My academic record is too poor as I scored 58% in 10th and 12th from state board. How to join an IIM?

However, it assigns a weight of 50% (20% for class 10th, 10% for class 12th and 20% for Bachelors score) and thus, it would be difficult to get a call from IIM Bangalore (refer to<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.iimb.ac.in/sites/default/files/iimb-pgp-admission-process.pdf" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>http://www.iimb.ac.in/sites/default/files/iimb-pgp-admission-process.pdf</a>). IIM Ahmedabad on the other hand has a minimum cutoff percentage which is set at 80 percentile score. Thus, looking at your graduation score, it would be impossible to get a call from IIMA (unless you are in top 20 percentile at your college, please refer to<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://web.iima.ac.in/users/admission/files/ShortlistingCriteria" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>https://web.iima.ac.in/users/admission/files/ShortlistingCriteria</a> for PGP 2017-19 batch_110117. Pdf). However, having said that, there are many top B-schools who will consider you provided you could score a respectable score in CAT. Therefore, your aim to be to maximize your CAT score. All the best.
