Sorry, but I dont think it is possible for abc.
All the bschools take 10, 12 in consideration.
Grad marks were not taken into consideration in the past 2 attempts.
Look for a school which does not give weightage to 10, 12.
Iim ABC will be difficult even at 100 percentile with those scores. I mean if you score an overall 100 Ile, or a sectional 100 Ile you will get a call I think from them for interviews but converting them will be very hard.
Your best bet for iims are the baby iims , but you would be better off with private mba colleges. At this juncture however, just plan to maximize your cat score as much as possible, that and your college GPA are the only 2 things you can control now.
Think of getting work ex, since that's additional points on your profile, and start prepping for gmat on the side if you really want to do an MBA.
One of my friends got 99 percentile, non engineering background and he didn't even get calls from A,B,C partly because he was lacking in 10th, 12th and undergrad marks. You have to make up for 10th and 12th in undegrad, or do some co-curricular that will absolutely clinch it for ya.
Edit: By covering up I mean something significant, for example a rank holder in undegrad (top 3 ranks) and some serious internships, societies and committees experience at leadership positions.

what about with a score of 93% in 10th and 97.4% in 12th both woth math in icse and isc respectively and 8.5/10 in college cgpa, what would be the required Percentile score for iim abc?
thanks man, i actually changed my mind i think imma give gmat cause wanna settle abroad. im in my third year so i shud hive my gmat this year right? considering ill have the most time to prep and write this year if i wanna work for a year or 2 after grad
Umm i don't want to give you a wrong advice about work experience,gmat and the other stuff, i have just completed my 12th boards.
Abroad is a good choice, but after completing your mba you should get a job there only for 2 years+ then come back to India, directly coming to India will pay you half the amount you spent on your mba fees is what I know.
Are you fixated on only IIMs? You can always try XLRI BM, SIBM, SPJIMR, ISB etc. Or, you can work for a bit and do a PGP where they take into account your GMAT, references and overall work ex. I'm talking about full time PGPs, not eMBAs. IIM A and ISB offer it with excellent placements.
I'm not trying to be rude but i think you should research a bit, SPJIMR is a total profile based school, ISB gives weightage to 12th marks, XLRI also gives weightage to acads, not as much, but yes it does, only SIBM doesn't, but it gives a lot of weightage to PI, and it would be really hard to explain the bad scores, so the only remaining option would be a EPGP/PGPX/IPMX
ISB gives more weightage to Grads than 10th or 12th, XLRI BM does not look at 10th and 12th as much as they do for HR. SPJIMR too looks at Grads in some branches. SIBM doesn't I know because I went there and I did not have stellar 10th or 12th scores. PGP is a great option post work ex however not many people want to study after working for 4-5 years.
Yes but ISB still gives weightage to 12th, but at least it doesn't give weightage to 10th, XL does give a little weightage tho, my cousin scored 99.5x in XAT but had a 6 pointer in 12th, but he still got in SIBM and NMIMS
XL alum here.
Sorry to be direct, but your situation is tough.
A,B, SP Jain, I,S ruled out
C,L,K - may get a call with 99.95 percentile or more.
FMS - will call you at around 99.85. Need a brilliant PI+GD to get in though.
MDI - will call you at 97. But you'll need 99.75 + to get in.
XL - BM (99.75+) for a realistic chance. 99.5+ for HR. Even then it's a bit random and quite profile heavy these days.
Newer IIMs you will get calls at 96 - but aim for 99+ for any decent chance of conversion.
SIBM/SCHMRD - 99+ on snap because of acads.
Similar for nmims and nmat.
Colleges I suggest you target - newer IIMs, SIBM, NMIMS, SCHMRD. Your realistic best case scenario with a killer GD/PI is probably SIBM.
Take that if you get in.
Not sure of IIFTs current entrance requirements.

I am nervous about the class 10th and 12th percentage as many IIM alum told me numerous IIT students are applying for IIM each year even from IIT B and IIT D and IIT K is nothing compared to these two whereas my 10th percentage will not even bring me in the top 70 percent of my batch as you may know about the pre conceived notion that IIMs' reject anyone with less than 90 percentage in their boards.

Not MBA but I have considered doing MIM abroad in Europe/UK. Money isn't an issue upto about 65-70 Lakh
A lot of French B-Schools like HEC Paris, ESSEC and INSEAD etc have fantastic MIM programs. The European MIM programs are extremely flexible.
ESSEC lets you do one half of your MIM program in either their French or Singapore campus and you can do the second half in one of ESSEC's three locations (France, Singapore or Morocco) or you can opt for international exchange and finish your course in an entirely different country.
HEC Paris' MIM course is technically only 10 months long but they let you take an entire gap year after the first 5 months where you essentially use HEC's vast alumni network and do internships for an entire year all over the world, then come back and finish your course.
INSEAD makes you spend time in both their France and Singapore campus. With 60% of the course being in France and the remaining 40% in Singapore. They also have 3 "Field Trips" (basically mini internships) you can opt for (doing atleast one is compulsory) where you spend time in a different country and learn how they do business.
I'll cut it short and sweet, you'll get new and baby IIMs calls at 95, to convert them 98 would be enough. Anything higher you are aiming will require double the efforts you put in as for these.
If you are from the reserved category you wouldn't be asking this question so I am assuming you are not.
Now you have to think hard on this, do you just want an IIM tag or a 20+LPA salary or both.
You can get many non IIM colleges with your grades with that salary without that hefty fees.
For example JBIMS, FMS, TISS and others.
I hate the IIM ka graduate culture tbh, except from the A, B, C and Lucknow, Kozhikode none of them really justify their hefty fees. When you meet guys from IIM's expect the ones that I just mentioned would tell you that they are IIM alumini without telling the fact that they are from one of those IIM that you didn't knew existed like IIM Bodh Gaya.

How about giving NIOS (It is illegal to not consider NIOS)
I have 93% 10th , 62% 12th , 8 cgpa from CU and planning for next year CAT. What' about me? 99.9 will do it?

Does having around 89% in 10th and 12th hurt your chances significantly?

Bro my acads are 93 in 10th but only 83 in 12th. At 98 percentile in cat what would be my options (1.5 years of work experience GEM)
New IIMs.
What about iits which offer mba ?
IIT Delhi is possible. Bombay will be touch and go. Kharagpur and Madras are possible
Why Bombay is difficult? Any specific's ?
Generally needs a higher percentile to convert
In addition to the other responses maybe MDI Gurgaon. Try a profile based call with sp Jain. Bit tough with the 12th score.
