8/7/8 isn’t that bad just aim for as high a CAT percentile as possible around 98 - 99 you definitely have chances at A/B/C/K/L so don’t overthink the profile rn

With an 8/7/8 profile (General category), your chances vary significantly by college because every IIM uses a distinct composite score formula. While older IIMs place substantial weight on 10th/12th/Grad consistency, New and Baby IIMs (via the CAP process) and institutions like FMS Delhi or MDI give much greater weight to your CAT score.
