You have a good profile. Target a percentile higher than 99.5%ile to get a call from IIM-A.

That depends on a lot of factors: where do you see yourself 5-10 years down the line? Would you prefer a less hectic PSU life or a more hectic yet more rewarding career?
A PGPX from IIM-A will open your doors to a medium to a higher management role in private multinational companies. This will be hectic of course but will have better career progression compared to PSU. So at the end of the day, it is your decision. If you ask me, I would say ofcourse you should opt for PGPX at IIM- Ahmedabad.

Yes, you can. You can apply for ePGP program of IIM-A which is primarily a distant learning program offered by IIM-A. The selection for the same is through CAT only & there is no placement support provided by IIM-A. Having said that, all the participants are considered bonafide students of IIM-Ahmedabad and will enjoy similar privileges, including alumni status.

As IIM, Ahmedabad considers academic consistency as one of the important factor for selection of students, it is very difficult to get a call even if you score 99% marks.
Having said, that please apply for other good colleges, which do not give significant weightage to academics to get a call.

Hi Rohan,
Though your percentages are on lower side, it is certainly not impossible to get calls from ABC. But, do remember that these class 10th and 12th scores carry significant weights for calculating the composite scores. So, even after getting a call, it will be difficult to get the final admission. As you are from a non-engineering stream, you would get additional points for academic diversity which could help your case. Having said that, there are many other good MBA colleges that you can get if you score a good CAT percentile. So, my advice would be to not limit yourself to aim by aiming for a particular CAT score but rather aim

You need to apply through CAT. The fees for 2017-2019 batch was Rs 21 lakhs for 2 years.

To get admission in Ahmedabad, I would suggest you to go for MICA which is one of the top college to fulfill your requirement. It may not be on the 2nd number but will meet your expectations. I am listing the college link to get better idea of the college and the courses offered.
