With a 9/8/9 profile from an NIT, you have strong baseline academic credentials for BLACKI calls. As an engineering candidate, target a 99.5+ percentile for older IIMs (Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta) to offset academic diversity penalties, while 98.5+ puts you in strong contention for FMS Delhi, SPJIMR, and IIM Lucknow/Indore.
