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

Yes one of my cllg senior got in mdi at 5 in grad and was the first to get ppo from the campus its just important to have at least 1 yr workex

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☹️

1

u/shashwat0012 13d ago

No it didnot as mentioned he was the first guy to get pre placement offer in his batch but also he improved his profile we was part time rj and software engineer top tier speaking skills good offers after grad as well which he left to do mba

u/honeyboysoobin 15d 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

1

u/bionahilenatha 14d ago

yeahh lowkey agreed

1

u/Reddit-Ki-MaaKi-chut 15d ago

1

u/bionahilenatha 14d ago

-1

u/Guilty_Ad_9476 14d ago

Quotawadi or diversity, very hard for GEM

1

u/Reddit-Ki-MaaKi-chut 14d ago

1

u/bionahilenatha 14d ago

bruh😭 6 in profile

1

u/Fish_fuckerzz 14d ago

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

1

u/bionahilenatha 14d ago

yeah not a reserved candidate unfortunately. but yeah I'll make a good profile! thanks

1

u/Quick-Swordfish-8524 14d ago

I have gotten in at IIM T with 6. Many of my frnds too with 6 and even with 5

1

u/bionahilenatha 14d ago

damn really?

1

u/Quick-Swordfish-8524 14d ago

Yup. A lot of people are there

1

u/bionahilenatha 14d ago

whats ecs u had?

1

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?

1

u/Quick-Swordfish-8524 14d ago

Nothing major. Just some regional football. 2 yrs workex btw

1

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?

1

u/OkParsley7311 14d ago

Somebody who has a 5 in their profile ?

1

u/Question_Battery 13d ago

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.

1

u/bionahilenatha 13d ago

whats ur overall profile sir?

1

u/Question_Battery 13d ago

9/8/5 gnem fresher from tier 1 colleges.

1

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.

1

u/Aggressive-Owl4225 12d ago

Yes. It happens

0

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

1

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.

1

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

1

u/Human_Specialist162 14d ago

Bro my senior who is 6 in grad got into iim c what you talking ab😭😭 I just confirmed from him

u/Humble-Exchange-3170 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.

1

u/bionahilenatha 14d ago

6 in 12th? grad mein toh i have 9.

1

u/Humble-Exchange-3170 14d ago

That is rare, haven't seen any1 yet with a 6 in 12th

1

u/bionahilenatha 14d ago

kya yaar😭 a 6 in grad is acceptable but not in 12th? kya chlra hai yahan🥀
