What CAT percentile do I need to score in order to have a healthy chance of converting IIM Calcutta? My profile is 9.8/83/8.3 (GEM fresher).
There is no specific percentile that will get you into IIM Calcutta. But if you want to stay on the safer side you meet to score at least 99.65-99.70+ in CAT. The minimum cutoff required for the general category remained 85 percentile, however, the actual cutoff to get a call remained much higher i.e around 98-99 percentile.
For the final selection, 4 parameters are considered:

How does ISB Compares to IIM Calcutta? Provided a candidate is looking for Operations/General Management Roles post MBA.
The MBA course from ISB or the Indian School of Business specializes in offering Operations and General Management roles. My cousin is from the same B School. She has listed down some reputed companies that offer you Operations and General Management roles.
- Amazon
- Flipkart
- Uber
- Myntra

What is the percentile that will ensure a call from IIM Calcutta, Lucknow, Bangalore, and Ahmadabad having 83% in 10th, 83% in 12th and a 6.9 CPGA in graduation, till now having no work experience?
First of all, bear in mind that there is never a 100% certainty of getting a call from a specific interest as there are many factors that determine it.
Considering your profile that lacks work experience and has witnessed a decline in the graduation marks, I don’t consider anything below 99.9 to fetch you a call from institutes like IIM Calcutta, Lucknow, Bangalore, and Ahmedabad. All these institutes only accept the best profiles and high scores. So unless you score a perfect 100, it will be difficult to get admission here.
