Should I join IIM Kozhikode?
A senior I knew who graduated from IIM Kozhikode has told me that it was her childhood dream to become a civil service officer. She started reading the CSR or Civil Service Chronicles from class V. She belonged to a family of doctors and she had to go against the wishes of her father to take mathematics instead of biology in her 10 (+2). As she wanted to graduate from college quickly and completing MBBS would take around 5 and a half years.
In her final year of college, she appeared for the CAT examinations because firstly, she was curious about it. And secondly, appearing for Civil Service examinations is not possible without graduation. Not only did she manage to crack her examinations but she also got calls from IIM K, I, S, and the other new IIMs.
Although she is still uncertain about what she wants to do in the future, she is confident that IIM Kozhikode was one of the best decisions she has ever taken. The institute helps immensely in developing the perspicacity of a student.
B-schools are much more than placements, grades, competitions, or committees. It is one of the pioneer institutions that help you overcome your shortcomings.
What percentile should I score in CAT (GEM) to have a fair chance for IIM ABCLKIS, MDI, FMS, SPJIMR, and NITIE provided I have 95% in both 10th, 12th and 8.7 CGPA in BTech (fresher)?
To increase your chances of getting a call from different MBA colleges, it's important to know their criteria for selection.

- Bangalore looks for both academics and work experience.
- Calcutta typically gives out calls to candidates with very high percentiles.
- Ahmedabad looks for academic diversity.
- SPJIMR considers your overall profile and academics.
- Kozhikode focuses on gender diversity and requires a very high percentile score.
- Shillong and NITIE typically call candidates with scores around 97, but NITIE has a higher cutoff for VARC.
- For Bangalore, a fresher may need a score of around 99.8-99.9, and with work experience, a score of around 98.8 may suffice.
- For Kozhikode, aim for a percentile score of 99.9 or above.
- FMS typically calls candidates with a score of 99.3 but aims for a score of 99.6 to increase conversion chances.
