Which IIMs can i target practically?

Asked by Anonymous on 2026-05-10 in Profile Review

91.4% in 10th grade, 89.4% in 12th grade, and a 3.6/4 GPA in university (BCom in Finance and Investment). I have completed 4 internships so far and am currently pursuing my 4th year. I may do one more internship before getting placed (though I’m not sure if internships are counted as work experience).

I was also a part of NCC, the Student Welfare Community, and the Call for Social Action (social awareness community). Additionally, I used to do part-time jobs as a student and am currently working as an accountant.

Can anyone lmk what IIMs i can realistically target? cuz i have no idea tbh.

Internships do not count as work experience. You need to an onrolled employee of an organization to count it as work ex. However, since you will be a fresher it is okay to not have work experience, you will miss out the points assigned to it during final profile evaluation of a b-school selection, but don't worry on that as you being a fresher your profile will compete against fresher's profile only.

You should target a 99+% percentile for BLACKI and FMS. For tier-2 IIMs you can target 95+ for non IIMs the percentile lies somewhere between 98-99%ile and more. Hope this helps you. Do you own research and start making a list of it with the last year avg cut off, last year highest and lowest percentile take up for each b school and more.
