For diversity profiles: deduct 3-5 points for female diversity, 3-4 points for non-engineer, 10 points for OBC-NCL, 20-25 points for SC/ST, 25-30 points for PwD.

Thread OP confirmed: "You have good profile. Google Mba vercel app. It will give you estimated percentile required for each college.

" Use MBA prediction calculators to map your exact profile against college cutoffs. Academic weightage matters: 10th 15-20%, 12th 15-20%, Grad 10-15% across top IIMs. Professional certifications add 2-3 points at IIM B and K.

Target your CAT percentile 3-5 points above the cutoff to buffer for normalization variance. Check your eligibility at collvera.
