Hello,
Some percentage of seats (10% or 20%) in most of the MBA program are institute level seats and are offered on merit basis to open and other category students. Students meeting the eligibility criteria can apply for these seats after submitting an application individually to the college. Admission will be granted subject to availability and merit at the discretion of the Management. College might charge application fees for the Institute level seats will be the same as fixed by Shikshan Shulka Saimti for the given year. Candidates who had appeared for CAP rounds, but could not secure admission through earlier merit lists, can apply for Institute Level Seats. Other candidates who had not appeared for CAP may also apply with valid scores of national level test (CAT, XAT, ATMA, MAT, CMAT) along with copies of relevant certificates but this rule changes from college to college.
All applications for Institute Level Seats must be received by the institute on or before the deadline date decided by the college. Applications may be sent through email or courier or submitted in person at the colleges. All candidates applying for Institute Level Seats might have to appear for GD/PI to be held at the college. To conduct GDPI or direct admission depends on college's discretion.
No amount have to be paid for ILS SEATS the fees would be same as Normal People but extra forms fees has to be paid.
Cutoff for ILS seats are 97.5% as per last year in SIESCOMS.
All the best.

No, not possible. Last year cutoff for ILS was closed in 97.5%, which mean you have very small chances to get selected. But, don't loose hope just follow the SIESCOM'S site till the last round. Maybe you will get selected. It usually starts after 2-3 Rounds of CET. Best of luck.

It is very tough to get admission in SIES with this percentile. I would suggest that please appear in entrance exam like MAT, ATMA, CET, XAT to get more good Marks.
Since, SIES doesn't give weightage to entrance score just perform very well in GD PI for securing your seats. You have to be damn good.
All the best.
