How did Vidit Garg get an IIM Ahmedabad call at 89 percentile when general candidates need 99?

Question

Nikhil Reddy · Accepted Answer

IIMs invite students for interviews based on CAT scores, but the 99 percentile is generally for General Category students, especially males from engineering backgrounds (GEMs). Competition is super tough for GEMs because the top candidates grab most of the spots.

Vidit Garg isn't a GEM or an engineer, which gives him an edge. Plus, he has work experience, which is valued for managerial skills. So, to nail a spot in a top B-school as a GEM, you've got to shine in academics and extracurriculars!

It's a Question about your future!
