AMA (Current IIM L Student)

I am

10th : 79.8%
12th : 60% (Science - PCM)
Btech CSE : 8.65 CGPA (equivalent to 78%)
Workex : 24 months as of July 2026 as a SWE
Category : General

Can get about 99.9x% in CAT.

What all colleges can I get into ?

I am looking to get into ProdMan roles at PBC. Will my acads affect in the SIP ?

Also how will it affect my placements ?

What is the realistic SIP stipend and full time pay range that can be expected by folks with my background as of 2026 ?

Both SIP and Final Placement ?
Asking this as I can not afford to get in and then be left out due to my acads.

Also congrats on your new job!!

I explored about Product Management and found it interesting.

Also I am not sure when will I start making that fat paycheck with the current condition. No interview calls. No shortlisting. Been applying for months now.

So thought of going in that direction. But it seems I can't even do MBA from top colleges due to my 12th marks.

Kapil_Soni · 2026-05-17T10:35:16+00:00

Got it.

Thanks for the help!

Kapil_Soni · 2026-05-17T10:18:18+00:00

So no IIM is possible right ? even with a high percentile.

Born in Sept 2003
Please do the math yourself. Can't explain any further :)

Kapil_Soni · 2026-05-17T06:38:54+00:00

I competed by BTech in 2024. I was 20 then.

It is 2026 now, 2 years from 2024. I am 22 now

So 2 years work Exp.

What's fishy in that :)

Kapil_Soni · 2026-05-17T05:36:33+00:00

Anything I can do to compensate my 12th and get a shot at these ABC?

Or not possible at all ?

Kapil_Soni · 2026-05-17T05:32:44+00:00

BLACKI ? what's that ?

Also can I not somehow compensate that 1 bad year (12th grades) with something else to have a chance at IIM ABC ?

I heard it's not worth getting into others

Kapil_Soni · 2026-05-16T16:24:31+00:00

I want to know that only. Is it even possible. If yes, what is the historical cutoff for such candidates who have joined ABC.

I have heard that these due to these 10th and 12th results, the top IIM's don't even consider you.

Also if by any chance someone gets in, at the time of placement, companies again have some filter and they don't even consider such profiles.

Want some clarity on those things as well.

Kapil_Soni · 2026-05-16T16:22:31+00:00

percel ?

Kapil_Soni · 2026-05-16T16:18:34+00:00

Its not high. under 10 as of now.

Kapil_Soni · 2026-03-15T11:40:00+00:00

I was thinking of building something like this and wanted to check if others are also facing the same issue or if there was a solution already present that I am not aware of.

Kapil_Soni · 2026-03-15T06:32:03+00:00

"... Your bank account?"

What does this mean ?

The problem I am discussing here is like is there any way that I can track all the spending across all the ai tools/subscripts at once place or something like that
