Your 10th marks are good. Your 12th marks are on the lower side. Your UG CGPA is also average. Any non-
managerial work-ex, specifically IT is not relevant work-ex for MBA. You will get some points for your work-ex however. Anyways, if you are a General Engineer, you will need to target 99.9+ percentile in CAT. Also, don't restrict your options to just IIMs. There are some amazing non-IIM Schools also in India that you could apply to - FMS, MDI, IMTG, SP Jain, XLRI, XIMB, JBIMS, NITIE, IIFT NMIMS, SIBM, etc.

Hi.
If you apply with JEE Main scores, CU primarily considers your JEE Main percentile / AIR for admission.
12th marks are generally secondary in this case — mostly used for eligibility criteria (like minimum 50–60% in PCM or aggregate, depending on branch).
High JEE scores can also qualify you for JEE-based scholarships at CU.

Yes — for admission to B.Tech/B.E. at Chandigarh University (CU), there is a requirement on your 12th‑class marks (along with other eligibility conditions), even if you're using your JEE Main score.

Hi.
AIIMS is primarily a medical college/university (undergraduate, postgraduate, super-speciality, etc.) + a hospital.
Its courses begin after Class 12 — i.e. you must have completed 12th standard (10+2) to be eligible for entry into courses like MBBS, B.Sc., etc.
The official course list of AIIMS includes medical and allied health degrees — not school-level classes (11th / 12th) as per its academic catalogue.
Thus, AIIMS itself does not run 11th and 12th standard as a school.
