Frequently Asked Questions about IIM Call & Composite Score (CS) Predictor

How are IIM interview calls calculated?

IIMs do not shortlist candidates solely based on CAT percentile. They calculate an institute-specific Composite Score (CS) combining scaled CAT scores, Class 10th and 12th board marks, undergraduate GPA, full-time work experience (optimal at 24–36 months), and gender/academic diversity bonus points.

What CAT percentile is required for IIM BLACKI calls?

For General Engineer Males (GEM), safe BLACKI calls typically require 99.5–99.8%ile+. For Non-Engineers and Female candidates (GNEF), diversity points lower the threshold to 96.5–97.5%ile. NC-OBC candidates receive calls from 90–93%ile, and SC/ST candidates from 65–78%ile.
