Primary answer
Students selected in top IIMs typically have high CAT percentiles (often 98+ for general category), strong academic records in 10th, 12th, and graduation, and may possess relevant work experience. However, diversity in academic backgrounds, gender, and professional experience is increasingly emphasized. Final selections are based on a composite score rather than CAT percentile alone, so candidates with balanced profiles often have better chances.
