IIM Indore Selection Criteria 2018: Final Selection Criteria -
After the WAT-PI is complete, candidates will be shortlisted on the following criteria:
Based on the Final Composite Score, a candidate will be given an admission offer at IIM Indore.
The Verdict -
Much like its Calcutta counter-part, IIM Indore lays major importance on 10th and 12th score of an applicant. Therefore, if your academic profile has been not-so-stellar in either of the two, your chances of getting a shortlist call can only be salvaged by an exceptional CAT 2018 score. There is no weight for work experience at all, so freshers and working professionals are on the same plane. Further, non-engineers are not given any preference for academic diversity, so anyone from any academic background has an equal chance of getting into Planet-I.
According to the InsideIIM Gender Diversity Report, IIM Indore is one of the most gender-diverse B-schools in the country but wants to continue growing in that direction. Therefore, a total of 4 points will be given to female applicants this year as well, according to IIM Indore selection criteria 2018.
Since 10th and 12th scores of most applicants are generally in the same range, it is that 20% weight to the CAT score that will become crucial to getting a WAT-PI shortlist call from IIM Indore.

Do both 10th and 12th marks have to be above 90% for IIM Indore? I've got 95% in 10th and 87% in 12th.

you stand a good chance. I have 94 in 10th and 88 in 12th, and I got the call at 97.35 percentile. Plus, you are a female candidate too.
