I hope you’re doing well. I am preparing for CAT and aiming to join an IIM. I wanted to understand the criteria for sitting in campus placements at IIMs, and whether graduation CGPA plays an important

1. Eligibility Concern

If my undergraduate (UG) score is low will companies still allow me to apply for placements during MBA?
What are the minimum academic criteria (10th, 12th, UG, MBA) that companies usually require just to sit in placements?

2. Role of MBA Performance

If I perform very well in my MBA (high CGPA, good skills, internships), can it compensate for a low UG score?
Do companies give more importance to MBA performance over UG marks?

3. Placement Opportunities

Will I be restricted from top companies/roles (consulting, finance, product management) due to low UG marks?
Which types of companies are generally more flexible with academic history?

4. Salary (CTC) Impact

Can I still get a high CTC (good package) despite a low UG score?
Or will I mostly be limited to lower or average packages?
