Navigating IIMs and Non-IIMs Calls: A Comprehensive Guide for High-achieving Students

Which Calls Should I Expect for My IIM and Non-IIM Prospects?

Dear Siddhant,

Your academic profile is impressive. With a CAT percentile of 97.51 and an average score of 9.4 to 9.5, you stand a strong chance of receiving calls from some of the top Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs).

Strength of Your Application Against IIM Criteria

Since IIMs place extra weightage on non-engineering streams, your profile already positions you favorably. Should you have any commendable extra-curricular achievements, the likelihood of receiving calls from IIMs A, B, and C greatly increases. It's crucial to perform well in the subsequent rounds of the selection process. Remaining calm, composed, and smart will be key to your success. If you are from a general category, be prepared for a strong chance of being called by top IIMs.

Top IIMs: Your Invitation to Participate

Based on your profile, you have a strong chance of receiving calls from various IIMs including IIM Bangalore, IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Kozhikode, IIM Calcutta, IIM Lucknow, IIM Indore, IIM Raipur, and IIM Visakhapatnam. With the new IIMs and some of the newest ones, you have a very good chance of getting an invite. However, if you are from the general category, IIM Indore might also consider you, given that they place a relatively high weightage on academic performance (around 75%).

While you may receive calls from SPJIMR and other private colleges that place significant emphasis on profile strengths, opting for colleges in cluster 2 and 3 will likely lead to more diverse offers. Remember, securing a call is just the first step. Prepare diligently for the subsequent rounds of the selection process.

Final Thoughts

Your profile is compelling, and you will likely receive calls from many of the top IIMs and some newer IIMs. Keep your spirits high and focus on your preparation for the subsequent rounds. A great performance in group discussions and written assessments could significantly improve your chances of securing a seat. Always remember, landing an interview call is just the half of it.

Good luck!
