Yes, 90%+ in 10th typically translates to the full 10 marks at IIM ABC, with scoring thresholds at IIM A structured as: 90%+ = 10, 80-90% = 8, 70-80% = 6, 60-70% = 4, below 60% =

For 9.0 CGPA in UG at IIM A (typically 81% equivalent), you get 8 points - the same as 80%+. A 95% in 10th or 90% CGPA is what it takes to max 10 points. Practical advice: if your 12th is 89%, don't stress - the 8 points you score is only 2 less than maxed. Compare to IIM Indore where 10th weight is 39%: a 90% vs 95% delta at Indore is a 3-4 percentile-equivalent gap, life-changing for conversion. For aspirants still in school, pushing 10th from 85% to 91% gives you an extra 2 points at IIM A but 10+ points at IIM I - the high-leverage moment is school performance, not undergrad.
