How much minimum CAT percentile do I need to get IIM Calcutta or IIM Lucknow if I have Xth 93, XIIth 73, and BTech 70, without any work experience?

Your graduation score is a bit low but it depends on your institute too. If you are from a top college, then this score will be considered pretty good. Moreover, past academics are not the only deciding factor when it comes to admission to IIMs. You do have decent changes if selection viewing your overall profile. As for the CAT Score, don’t set a fixed target and just aim for as high as you can. The cutoffs keep changing depending on various factors so what should remain constant are your efforts. Additionally, preparing for the interview is very crucial because it determines your chances of admission.

What is the percentile that will ensure a call from IIM Calcutta, Lucknow, Bangalore, and Ahmadabad having 83% in 10th, 83% in 12th and a 6.9 CPGA in graduation, till now having no work experience?

First of all, bear in mind that there is never a 100% certainty of getting a call from a specific interest as there are many factors that determine it. Considering your profile that lacks work experience and has witnessed a decline in the graduation marks, I don’t consider anything below 99.9 to fetch you a call from institutes like IIM Calcutta, Lucknow, Bangalore, and Ahmedabad. All these institutes only accept the best profiles and high scores. So unless you score a perfect 100, it will be difficult to get admission here.

Placement - The Placement scenario at IIML was amazing
Culture- The culture of academic rigour at IIML was something that pushed students to do better

Dislikes

Single badminton court- There could have been more badminton courts

Admission:

Cutoff for Indiant Institute of Management Lucknow was quite high and the admission process was also very strict with CAT being the clearing criteria followed by a written assesment test and a 45 Min Personal Interview.

MBA college review

4.0Helpful

I liked the campus. Nature's beauty is truly visible in the pollution free campus.

I think the infrastructure can be improved more.

-The eligibility for the course was a graduation complete student . -When you fill the CAT form ,you can apply the colleges. Once the results are out, the institute released the composite score based on their criteria. -Once a person is shortlisted,they have to fill the detailed form along with SOP and then go through the WAT-PI stage. -Depending on WAT-PI your score is considered along with some portion of composite score and results are announced.

Hell captured in an year

5.0Helpful

Sports is the best thing. Other than this, Campus life and friends are the most adorable thing here
Classrooms are mostly interactive and case based which give us a real life experience

Academic schedule is too hectic, due to which we rarely get time to go out
The security here does not allow outstation stays after 12 am

Embarking on the journey towards IIM Lucknow was both exhilirating and challenging. The gateway gateway to this esteemed college was the CAT exam, a rigorous test of aptitude and problem solving skills. Key to success was not just navigating through the exam but also aligning with the application dates. Timeliness was paramount. Despite the well structured process, there is still a space more more transperancy in the evaluation

Professors and their way of teaching was excellent. They did not leave any stone unturned
The experience with fellow students was exhilarating to say the least. The different perspectives that they have to offer is mind boggling

Sometimes it felt as if the curriculum is too intense. The load can be lightened a little bit

Had to appear for CAT exam. Anyone who has completed their graduation or are in their final year are eligible for the exam. Application forms are released on CAT's website in the month of July. After securing a good enough percentile which depends on your category, you are called for GDPI process of each college separately. Then a final merit list is prepared .

The diversity of students which you have here is very helpful as you get to learn from your peers very much as they all are from different background and everyone has a different mindset with some or the other quality which really helps as a student.
The quality of faculty that we have is very helpful.

Sports facilities have a scope of improvement.

To get into IIM-L here's the summary of eligibility and admission process; 1- CAT exam- the primary requirement is to appear for CAT. 2- percentile required for general candidate is about 98 and for other candidates reservation policies are followed as per government norms. 3- keep an eye on the CAT official website for the important dates.

AC in summers and heater in winter season.
mix of students not only from cities but also from small villages

Also winter where you will dont want to go outside of rooms
the average students who are introverts will feel some difficulty in first year

After appearing for CAT I was shortlisted for the Lucknow interview and then got admission after clearing WAT and PI. I got some extra marks for the final score for being an agriculture background. The process is smooth and I believe that Lucknow has one of the most transparent processes for admission as we know the scores of all the sections and cutoff.

A Nexus of Academic excellence and Vibrant campus life

4.7Helpful

The beautiful Campus : From the enchanting autumn colours to the chilly winter nights shrouded in fog, every season brings its own charm that will make you fall in love with the place. The campus truly feels like home.
Infrastructure :The campus features a modern gymnasium , pool tables and board games in hostel along with indoor badminton court and outdoor sports facilities. Additionally, there is swimming pool, squash court and well-equipped library.

The Common Admission test (CAT) is the primary entrance exam for admission to the PGPM program. Other programs may have their specific entrance exams or criteria. IIM Lucknow's selection process can be summarized in three steps : 1. Shortlisting based on CAT percentile 2. Further shortlisting based on profile and CAT score for the WAT/PI round 3. Admission based on WAT-PI performance Selection criteria : CAT score accounts for 60% of the composite score for the WAT-PI selection process . Work experience (>6 months) carries 10% weightage , while academic and gender diversity each holds 5% weightage in the PGP program at IIM lucknow.

IIMs are more than just placements

4.3Helpful

Campus life including batch, clubs & activities
Course was good. With specializations, faculty was good. Really liked the course bidding system

Library is too small for the entire batch. New reading halls could be made near hostels.

Students need to take CAT exam, based on a composite score (60% CAT, 10% 12th & graduation each, 10% work experience, 5 each for academic & gender diversity) shortlists are given for interview. The minimum cutoff is 85%ile in sectionals & overall 90%ile in cat exam. The cutoff is usually about 50+ composite score for interview calls for general category students. Eligibility - Cat exam, must be in final year at time of interview or passed out from a degree course. No separate application form initially, only CAT application. Post the release of interview shortlist, students need to submit a detailed application which includes basic details & a SOP statement. It is available on the admission dashboard on IIM Lucknow website. Post the interview, final admission list is released on IIM Lucknow website & waitlist movement happens. The entire process was smooth however there is lot of confusion regarding waitlist movement & one has to call admission office for details.

What is the general category cutoff for the MBA-SM program?

Rency Daniel

For the MBA-SM programme at IIM Lucknow, the general category cutoff is between the 85th and 90th percentile for admission in 2024. For admission to IIM Lucknow during the WAT-PI phase, this percentile is necessary.

Can I expect a call from IIM Lucknow with a 92 percentile in CAT?

If your CAT result is at least 90 percentile—the minimum qualifying percentile for IIM Lucknow's PGP course admissions process—you can get a call from the institute.
