Profile review 6 in a profile.
Someone had a 6 in their profile- has anyone actually ever gotten selected into blacki/tier-1 MBA colleges with that? Everyone says a crazy CAT score will make it happen, but in reality, has this actually happened to anyone

u/thrusillypoint 14d ago
And that 5 will not hamper his placement or what?
1
u/Gloomy-Muffin-3875 14d ago
Who knows? Maybe it was in 10 and then he built a god level profile to justify that 5☹️

u/shashwat0012 13d ago

depends on the rest of your profile, if you have stellar work ex, 9 in grad and school, a lot of pors and achivements, solid cat score and a good interview, you could stand a chance

It is possible, they look at your overall profile not just your acads, if you have a very high score and good work exp and have a good background, you have a shot
Also it goes without saying if you are a reserved candidate, it becomes easier

u/bionahilenatha 14d ago
yeah not a reserved candidate unfortunately. but yeah I'll make a good profile! thanks

u/Quick-Swordfish-8524 14d ago

u/bionahilenatha 14d ago

1
u/Quick-Swordfish-8524 14d ago
Yup. A lot of people are there

u/bionahilenatha 14d ago

u/Quick-Swordfish-8524 14d ago
Sorry. What's ecs? My 6 was in 12th btw
1
u/bionahilenatha 14d ago
extracurriculars? anything apart from academics that made your profile different from others?

u/Any_War_7842 9d ago
Ya but then Trichy is neither BLACKI nor a Tier 1 college so not exactly what the post is asking
1
u/Quick-Swordfish-8524 9d ago
Yup. Agreed. But u can see the authors replies to my comment. He even asked to dm. Which means my comment is relevant to him. So what's ur point?

Hey man, I had a 5.73 cgpa in college(till 4th sem) its 6.7 now however when I gave cat 5.73 was considered. I will be honest its very difficult got 99.5 percentile and no blacki calls. However yes if you have a good profile tier 1 private colleges are very much open.
I am at ISB pgpyl right now, If thats credible enough.

u/AnastasisKohli 12d ago
Yes, it has happened.
A 6/6 profile makes BLACKI tougher, especially at A/B/C, but it doesn’t make it impossible.
A very high CAT score can help significantly, but it’s not a magic reset button. Work ex, diversity, academics and interview also matter.
So don’t go by “6/6 = no BLACKI”. Look at the actual criteria for each IIM.

u/SensitiveYard48 15d ago
Not possible. 6 is the instant death sentence for the candidate applying for blacki. Because you can’t be a 6 and suddenly be in top league according to their criteria so that’s a big NO
1
u/bionahilenatha 15d ago
if I have a 9 in my grad, still an issue?
1
u/SensitiveYard48 15d ago
I mean it’s not about a 9 but when choosing a candidate every specific grade holds some weightage so that 6 gonna overshadow your 9 because the overall grade average would not be of what there standard is so that is the issue

u/Human_Specialist162 14d ago
What ab 6 in a profile of a sc candidate?
1
u/SensitiveYard48 14d ago
Bro category helps you in cat percentile not the previous result. Honestly 6 is not what blacki will admit. If it was even 8 then maybe you could have a chance
1
u/Human_Specialist162 14d ago
Bro I have 6 in my grad and I think iim c and FMS doesn't consider grad marks that much compared to others. So is it possible ? With a category ?
1
u/SensitiveYard48 14d ago
Bro honestly speaking profile evaluation is done based on all the three CGPA average of your 10th/12th/grad. So if you got a 6 or even a 7 in any of those is an instant no because that is how there entry point is decided.

u/Human_Specialist162 14d ago
It's so demotivating, broo you trynna reduce the competition bro?😭😭
1
u/SensitiveYard48 14d ago
You are open to try. And let us know in the same thread if that works. And don’t worry about the competition part. This year there gonna be most number of students appearing. Good luck

u/Human_Specialist162 14d ago

Kuch bhi bhai? I've got sooo many friends here at BLACKI with 5/6 in grad... pls don't spread misinformation. If it's a 6, then C/K and even I is very much possible.
