Sir
I have got in 10th 7.2 CGPA in 12th 63%
and in BBA 69%. I have got CAT 94.87 percentile.
I would like to know that I can get admission in
IIM for PGDM course?

Yes,you are eligible to get admission in PGDM course.

The full form for PGDM is Post Graduate Diploma in Management.

PGDM Admission Eligibility Criteria in India is approved by AICTE .Following are the eligibility criteria for the admission:-

-The minimum qualification for admission is at least a 3-year Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in any discipline with minimum 50% marks in aggregate from a recognized university.

-Candidates in the final year of a Bachelor’s degree course or equivalent are also eligible to apply. However they are required to provide the proof of their graduation at the time of joining.

-Candidate with business experience is given additional weightage in the selection process.

-Candidates need to take any of the Entrance examination like CAT,MAT,CMAT,XAT,etc. to get admission in PGDM course.

I am extremely sorry to state that there is very less chance of yours to get admission call from IIM. This is because you do not have bright career record and even the percentile in CAT is not very high. Although a student is eligible for IIM call for the interview if percentile in CAT is more than 90 but usually the cut off goes very high and the profile of the students are taken into account ultimately leading to the cut off for CAT percentile around 95 percentile. But for a student to expect call from the IIMs for interview with 95 percentile is only when he/she has a good career profile.
