What should I do to build a great background to get admission in IIMs in future? I have passed in 12th this year only.

Complete your graduation with more than 55% marks. Prepare for CAT and score more than 99 percentile in it to get a call from IIM for PI. During your final year of graduation prepare well for CAT, join coaching classes and solve mock papers as many as possible.

Till now, your scores are good, but to get into IIMs, one should be excellent in academics and also in other things like personality and good and effective communication skills in English and make sure that your graduation percentage is above 80%. So, this can add value to your selection into IIMs, and also you require to attempt CAT and score above 95%ile, so concentrate on that and also you can appear for CAT during your final year. Keep in mind that qualifying the GD and personal interview round in IIMs will be the most difficult thing, so in order to qualify that, you must have good communication skills and also you should have a broad knowledge of the subject and also of other things, because they will test your knowledge. Mainly focus on CAT from now.

Hi Pranav, A great background encompasses excellence in both academic as well as extracurriculars. You should focus first on completing your graduation with a good score and try choosing a stream other than engineering because there are extra marks for academic diversity. Next, try to participate in various other competitions like Olympiads, debates etc. which would help you enhance your other skills. The admission to IIMs happens through CAT so please start working on your aptitude in your graduation year only. Having a strong background would definitely give you an edge over others. All the best.
