What is the safe percentile for ABC and LKI

Hi Roshan,

You already have a really strong academic background. Your non-engineering degree is an added advantage, and the internships, extracurriculars and leadership experience make your profile more well-rounded.

If BLACKI is your main goal, I would suggest aiming for 99.5+ percentile, with 99.7+ giving you a stronger chance at ABC. For the newer IIMs, 95–98+ can give you good options, while 98.5–99+ would be a good range for SPJIMR. For ISB YLP, your overall profile will matter alongside your CAT score, so your internships and extracurricular activities can definitely add value.
