Most CAT aspirants aim to secure a higher percentile to receive IIM calls. But many students wonder, \u201cIs 95 percentile enough for IIMs<\/strong>?\u201d The honest answer is Yes, but it depends. A 95 percentile is a good score. It means you scored better than 95% of CAT test-takers. It makes you a strong contender. But when it comes to the IIMs, the game is beyond percentile. The IIM shortlisting also depends on your academics, sectional scores, diversity, work experience, etc. Some IIMs may shortlist you at 95 percentile. Some may not. Some may call your friend at the same percentile, but not you. That does not mean the system is unfair. It means the IIM selection process is composite.
