Primary answer

The acceptance rate of top IIMs such as IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, and IIM Calcutta is typically below 2% of total test-takers. With over 2 lakh candidates appearing for CAT and only a few hundred seats available in each of these institutes, competition is extremely intense. Securing a high percentile alone does not guarantee admission due to additional evaluation stages.
