How to prepare for 99.99+ percentile? I am currently in college second year and saw the high packages from top iims. Since I can sit for the exam only after graduation, assume two years of preparation is the time I am left with

I got 80 in 10th and 60 in 12th. Eligible for CAT and top IIMs after getting high scores? Reading Reddittiya threads shocked me after knowing that school percentage also matters.

✅ Complete eligibility and requirements for a General Category candidate to get into a top IIM (after CAT):
---
🎯 **1️⃣ Educational Qualification**
Bachelor’s degree* (any stream) from a recognized university.
At least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA* in graduation.
* Final-year students can apply (but must pass with 50% before joining).
---
🎯 **2️⃣ CAT Percentile (Minimum to Get Shortlisted)**
👉 To get shortlisted for WAT/PI at top IIMs, you typically need:
| IIM | Overall CAT percentile (General) | Sectional percentiles |
| ------------- | -------------------------------- | --------------------- |
| IIM Ahmedabad | 99+ | 70-80+ each section |
| IIM Bangalore | 99+ | 80+ each section |
| IIM Calcutta | 99+ | 80+ each section |
| IIM Lucknow | 98.5+ | 85+ each section |
| IIM Indore | 97-98+ | 80+ each section |
| IIM Kozhikode | 97-98+ | 80+ each section |
✅ Cutoffs vary slightly year to year, but 99+ is generally safe for IIM A, B, C if you're General category.
---
🎯 **3️⃣ Shortlisting Criteria**
Top IIMs shortlist based on:
CAT overall + sectional scores*
10th, 12th marks* — higher is better (many IIMs like A, B, C give weight here)
Graduation marks*
Work experience (optional, but adds weightage)*
Diversity (gender or academic background, e.g., non-engineers may get extra points)*
👉 Example:
* IIM A gives heavy weight to 10th/12th.
* IIM B emphasizes work experience and academics.
* IIM C focuses more on CAT score but still considers academics.
---
🎯 **4️⃣ WAT + PI (and sometimes GD)**
✅ After shortlisting, you must appear for:
Written Ability Test (WAT)* — an essay
Personal Interview (PI)* — most important for final selection
* (Rarely now) Group Discussion (GD)
Your performance here is critical — no matter how high your CAT score is!
---
🎯 **5️⃣ Final Selection Formula**
👉 Final score = weighted average of:
CAT score* (20-40%)
PI score* (30-50%)
WAT score* (10-20% where applicable)
10th / 12th / graduation marks*
Work experience (if any)*
Diversity factor (only if you’re non-engineer / female)*
---
🎯 **6️⃣ No age limit**
There is no age limit* for IIM admission.
---
🎯 **7️⃣ Documents needed**
* Graduation marksheets/certificate
* 10th / 12th marksheets
* CAT scorecard
* Work ex proof (if claiming experience)
---
✅ Summary for General Category
| Requirement | Minimum |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| Graduation marks | 50% |
| CAT score | 98-99+ percentile |
| Sectional cutoff | \~80+ percentile |
| 10th / 12th | Higher is better (often >85% gets good weightage) |
| Work experience | Optional, but 1-3 years is beneficial |
| Age | No limit |
| WAT/PI | Must clear; PI is critical |
