IIM Mumbai and Shillong cutoffs
A
🏫 B-Schools, Calls & InterviewsHi Sir
My profile is 9/7/7 GEF fresher. I graduate this year and have done multiple internships in IISc and Infosys. I'm targeting the BLACKI's and Mumbai and Shillong. According to my profile, what should be a safe percentile to convert mumbai and shillong? I've done a lot of research online but every site suggests different percentiles and it leads to a lot of confusion as to what raw CAT score i should be targeting in mocks, so some guidance here will go a long way. Thanks!

I can understand that mere bachhe.. different institutes and evaluators give different figures primarily because a lot depends on the year's pool of applicants, something that no one has access to. So, whatever number I give you will also be based on estimates and assumptions.
We have a Profile Evaluator tool under the resources Tab mere bachhe. Enter your profile details in that and see what estimates it gives you. Its output is pretty reliable for Old IIMs, FMS and Mumbai, primarily because almost all of them disclose their composite score calculation formulae and methods. But once again, the error caused due to absence of data related to this year's applicant pool, the numbers would still be just an estimate.
Having said that, in general - a safe figure for a fresher GEF (internships may help in converting interview but don't help in getting calls), the least safe bet is 99.75, if you want calls from old IIMs.
As far as 'what raw mock score you should target' is concerned, my answer would be a range: around 90-120 marks. Why is the range so big?? Because CAT's difficulty varies a lot. In the last 6 years, 99 percentile has actually varied between 77 and 98. That's why I will also have to give you a 30 marks range (marks climb steeply as we reach closer to 100 percentile, specially if the paper is easy).
if the mock you are taking is easy, you will need to cross 120 to get calls from IIM ABC but if the mock you are taking is very difficult, then 85-90 might do the job as well. Check the evaluator once and you can ask something again here if it does not make sense.
