Can a general category student convert IIM Indore or Shillong at 92 percentile? (With a reasonably okay WAT-PI) (with good academics but as a fresher)

While the selection process for admission to IIM Indore and IIM Shillong varies from year to year and depends on various factors such as the number of applicants, the quality of the applicant pool, and the cut-offs set by the institutes. It is generally considered challenging to secure admission to these institutes with a 92 percentile in the Common Admission Test (CAT) as a general category student. But if you are from the EWS category then it is not that difficult. Also, the CAT percentile is just one of the criteria that are considered for admission to IIMs, institutes also take into account several other factors such as academic performance, work experience (if any), and performance in the Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI).

IIMs consider several factors for admission which are academic performance, work experience, and performance in the Common Admission Test (CAT) to get a call. The cut-off percentile for admission in each IIM varies from year to year and it depends on factors like the number of applicants, the difficulty of the exam, and the availability of seats. In general, non-engineer male candidates need to score above the 95 percentiles in the CAT exam to have a good chance of being shortlisted for the IIMs you have mentioned (Nagpur, Rohtak, Shillong, and Kashipur). It might change and you will need a lower percentile if you have some work experience, meeting the cut-off percentile does not guarantee admission, as the IIMs also consider other factors such as academic background, work experience, and performance in the personal interview and written ability test. So, it's important to perform well in all the above factors mentioned in the admission process to increase your chances of getting into your desired IIM.

The eligibility criteria for the PGP program at IIM Shillong require candidates to hold a Bachelor's degree with a minimum of 60% in both 10th and 12th grades. Admission is facillitated through the CAT score,with the exam taking place in the month of November every year. Application forms are available from August. Applicants can apply for all IIMs ,including IIM Shillong through CAT form. As a General category candidate, I did not avail any reservation benefits. Notably , IIM shillong assigns a 15% weightage to work experience , and my direct offer was based on an evaluation of 85%. It's worth mentioning that freshers may need to invest additional effort in the GD and PI processes at IIM Shillong. Interestingly , IIM Shillong uniquely conducts GD before PI , unlike other IIMs.

The Campus in Clouds

I had applied for the Institute of Rural Management Anand and Xavier Institute of Management Bhubaneswar. I decided to choose IIM Shillong as it provided a larger pool of opportunities and had better rankings as compared to my other options. The eligibility criteria for the program is that the candidate must hold a Bachelor's Degree with at least 50% marks for General candidates. Indian students are required to qualify for the CAT. The admission process was very smooth, followed by an induction process.

I cleared the CAT and applied for all the IIM'S including CAP which Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta. Lucknow, Kozhikode, Shillong, and all the 10 IIM's which come under CAP and also the 4 baby IIM's and out of the colleges mentioned I was able to clear Shillong all the Cap's and the baby IIM'S and the reason for joining Shillong were many and to name a few A better Alum Base. Better Placements. College was older. The reputation of the college. Tackling with the Alumnis. I had the SC Quota through which I got the required admission and they check. The admission criteria was a Case Bases GD and also in addition there is no such thing as minimum marks as the admission process has a very big weightage given to the interview so there is no lower limit to the marks you would have to enter the college. The process was fairly smooth and the counseling day was fairly quick and you had to submit the required documents which included the 10th 12th and the undergraduate mark sheets.

The admission criteria consist of below three steps. 1. Shortlisting candidates on the basis of cat score and calling them for the next process 2. Conducting case study-based group discussion followed by an interview. 3. Shortlisting candidates for admission on the basis of accumulated cat score, 10th grads, 12th grad, graduation score, and GDPI performance.

"IIM Shillong" Review

1.9Helpful

I have taken CAT 3 times. I cleared my CAT 2019 attempt and got 96 percentile and got admission to IIM Shillong in 2020. And my interview was held online due to covid and the process was very smooth.For IIM Shillong, there was no GD and no WAT. It was only PI online and there were 2 moderators during the interview and my interview revolves around General affairs, academic questions. I think my given topic was somewhat related to Indian Agriculture. So, being from an economics background basically in almost all the interviews I was asked some academic question from my area. There was not any single interview in which I was not asked. It ranges from consumer price index, the difference between GDP & GNP and inflation rate, Keynesian vs classical theory all these kinds of questions. I worked as an insurance adjustor. So, they asked me about the basic principle of insurance and the rest types of insuring companies in India, in foreign.I was prepared before it. I took coaching in Delhi. If someone is a fresher I would advise him/her to be thorough with their academic subjects and they have not a work experience. So, mostly the interview would be based on academic subjects based on my experience. Also, you are going to do an MBA. So, you are expected to know everything about current affairs like what is happening around you. You do not need to have deep knowledge but you need to have a knowledge of all the topics, of all the things happening around you. So, I would refer to the BS coaching institute to release their preparation books. You can refer to them. Also, I refer to IIMs Bible.I was thorough with my academic subjects. I answered them very confidently. Whatever they have asked I have just replied to that question only. I have not answered any extra or any less because answering even extra may land up you in a difficult situation.
