What are the chances of getting an admission into IIM Calcutta?

Let’s discuss the changes in getting admission into IIM Calcutta through past figures (general category only).

Apart from CAT score, the chances of getting into IIMC depend on various factors such as

• Academic profile (i.e. marks in 10th, 12th, and undergraduate)

• Academic Diversity

• Work experience

• Gender Diversity

• Category-based evaluation (EWS, NC-OBC, SC, ST, PWD)

IIM Calcutta has around 200-220 general category seats. Also, it rejects 4 students for 1 selection which means around 1100 students are shortlisted. To be among these 1100 students you need to have at least 99.33 percentile.

The chances increase if you are a favorable candidate apart from a high CAT score. Being a female, non-engineer, decent work experience. If you aren’t then your cutoff increases to 99.5. 

Your chances drop to 0.5% and passing the interview round becomes more difficult.

So work around the factors I have mentioned beforehand to become a favorable candidate for admission into IIMC
