Profile evaluation

Hi everyone,
My profile:
10th: 90%
12th: 59.8%
B.E. CSE: 85.8%
OBC, Male
3 years of work experience at MNC

Is it still realistic to target a IIM with 59.8% in 12th?!

5 months left for CAT – Honest advice needed

Hi everyone,

My profile:
10th: 90%
12th: 59.8%
B.E. CSE: 85.8%
OBC, Male

Is it still realistic to target a good IIM ,What percentile should I aim for with this profile? Looking for advice from people who were in a similar situation or have gone through the process.
Thanks!

Targeting CAT → IIM Udaipur & IIM Trichy.
Need honest answers:
Can I realistically convert these colleges with a strong CAT score?
Will 59.8 in 12th badly affect SIPs/final placements for tech/product/analytics roles?
Would appreciate practical insights from current students/alumni.

9/5/8 GEM with 59.8% in 12th — Is CAT 2026 still worth attempting?

My profile:
10th: 89.3%
12th: 59.8%
B.E: 85.6%
Work Ex: 2 years
GEM

I’m confused about whether my 12th marks make CAT/IIMs unrealistic.

Do most IIMs have a strict 60% cutoff in 12th for interview calls?
Will 59.8% automatically reject me from many IIMs?
Even if I convert an IIM, will placements be affected because of the “60% throughout academics” criteria in companies?

Looking for honest opinions from people with similar profiles or current MBA students.
