Will my marks of class 10th and 12th affect the chances of my admission in IIM Calcutta?

I scored 42 percent marks in class 10th and 59 percent in class 12th. My graduation marks are 60 percent. If I score 100 percent in CAT exam will this make any difference?

    While it is acceptable to have a below average graduation score, data suggests that if you have scored below 80% in 10th and/or 12th, chances of receiving an IIM Calcutta call are significantly diminished. Hope it helps.

    IIM Calcutta asks for the CAT percentile which should be around 98.5+ to get a call for the interview. You should target to get above 98 percentile to get a call for GD and interview. If there are further queries, you can always ask.

    Hello,If you have an excellent score in the CAT (preferably 99+ percentile), then your past academic scores should not really affect your chances of final admission. Give your best in the CAT and don't bother about your past. Good luck.

    If you score good percentile in CAT then these things will not matter.
