About all the details you need for the selection criteria in IIM's go to this link:

(As per your performances IIM-AB are out of your league but IIM- CL are still in your reach if you get a 99+ %ile)


Selection pattern of FMS:
Written test : 70 %
GD 10 %

In GD PI- EXTEMPORE a student even scoring 1/10-1/10-1/10 is qualified.
(FMS don't give much weightage to acads :thumbsup:)

No of seats are not fixed through XAT or CAT.

With your average acads, you will have to Score a very High %ile in order to get a call from SPJAIN.. !!

Puys... one serious question.... Is it possible to fake work experience by giving a fake work experience certificate?? are the ppl concerned going to check it thoroughly?? N what are the chances of making it through..... I am quite confident that i can convince them...
Suggest you not to do so.. !!

@avinashkrjha yes but even after scoring a high percentile is there any fair chance of getting admission?

NIRMA's selection criteria is:

Personal Interview : 20%
Written Communication Test: 10%

So if you come up with a score of 80+ you have a sure shot chance to get a call from NIRMA :mg: Other colleges to apply with 80-90%ile are TAPMI, KJ SOM, LBSIM, XIME, FORE...ATB :thumbsup:

I don't have much info about the average package....you can get that info by visiting the respective colleges website....for you second ques- every top college gives some weightage to past academics its just they differ in the number...so go for college that gives less weightage...

12TH-70
