Nice to hear from you, Considering your academic profile as above and category you can expect most of the calls at CAT percentile at or above 98. With a nice GDPI performance you can expect converts too. But you need o keep in mind that the emission process is very dynamic and competitive these days, considering you as a CAT 2024 aspirant you should work towards maximising your CAT score. I hope this helps, write back if you have more queries.
Thank you for your insights sir.
Will definitely reachout in case of any queries.
Hello sir,

Hi Ashish, Hope you are doing well. With your profile as above, a CAT percentile at or above 99.5 can mmaximise your GDPI calls. If possible try adding 8-10 months of workex more to your profile, It will further improve your calls chances. Thanks 👍
Hey iim buddy what will be the maxium cat pool score any idea plzzz if u can’t tell exact figure plzz tell range
Plzzz reply ASAP
Hi Nilesh, For PGP 23-25 the number you are looking for is 160.48 and for PGP 24-26 relevant statistics will be available once institutions successfully conclude their admissions for PGP 24-26 but if we take a guess, I think it should be around 160-170. Thanks
Hi, the class composition is 187 general candidates and the total general candidates with admission offer is 197. Then shouldn’t the waitlist movement be 10? Why does it say 1 in the table.
This 197 refers to all admission offers containing both Prime Offers (Merit offers) and Waitlist offers. If someone receives a waitlist offer then they don’t necessarily end up with a final admission offer. This is the reason why you see a class composition of 187 where total offers made (waitlist+Merit) equals 197 with only one movement. I hope this clears your query. Thanks 👍
The IIM A shortlist data for CAT 2023 shown on their website mentions the CS calculation requires CAT score divided by 198. is it the maximum score people scored in CAT 2023, or is it something else?
It means maximum possible score that is 198 unless stated.
Is the “CS cutoff for Admission offer” the Final Composite Score (taking WAT, PI, CAT score etc all into account), or is it the same as CS which is calculated for shortlisting for WAT/PI?
Final CS is inclusive of all its components (ex- GDPI, CAT score, acads etc)
hello sir….i am gem 2024 passout with 91.2 percent in 10th,70 percent in 12th & 89.9 percent in btech,what percentile should i target for iim A,B,C
Hi Udit, hope you are doing well. With an academic profile as above I think a percentile above 99.5 is what you need for the trio. If not from A, a 99.5+ will get you call from other BLACKIS. Dont think about these things right now, Just focus on maximising your score and you will do great. Thanks 👍
thnx sir
Why are there so few seats for EWS candidates at IIMA? It is not even 3% of the class composition. Also please explain EWS waitlist movement and final composition.
Don’t know the reason for them not having full quota seats for EWS (Reach out to them for a detailed reply). Regarding waitlist movement for EWS, Almost none in terms of movement. People only leave their offer if they get something better and chances of it happening is really low. For EWS Movement was total of 3 for PGP 2023-25. I hope this clears your quey. Thanks 👍
It is mentioned that 12 admission offers were made, waitlist movement was 3 and final class composition was 9. Does that mean initially 9 offers were made and 3 from waitlist moved to get the offer. That way it adds to 12 offers. Please clarify.
Correct 👍, since it’s the same number as class composition I guess IIM A don’t give buffer offers then.
In EWS category 12 admission offers were made and waitlist movement was 3. Final class composition was 9. Does that mean initially 9 offers were made and later waitlist moved by 3 and it adds to 12 offers?
Hello, I am on waitlist with no. 8 for IIM Ahmedabad under sc category. Will it convert? If yes, in which waitlist it would convert and when can I expect the waitlists to release??
Waitlist depends on others leaving their offers and nothing can be said about it. Usually it moves 1-2 days after the last date of offer acceptance fee payment for the offer made earlier. Thanks👍
Hi! This data is insightful. Can you also publish the waitlist movement release dates along with the movements on that waitlist? Thank you!
They didn’t provide the dates and reaching out to them for the same and then publishing it would take atleast 20-30 days. By then things would anyways get cleared. Thanks 👍
