However, all of this is the minimum criteria to apply; you will only be receiving calls from IIM Lucknow if your CAT percentile is at least at 98.2 percentile. The higher your score goes beyond this percentile the higher are your chances of converting IIM Lucknow. After PI and WAT takes place which is based on various criteria like the scaled CAT score, the Class 12 and Graduation marks, diversity factors based on gender and fields and the work experience of the candidates, the final score will be calculated taking PI and WAT into consideration on the basis of which admission will be given to candidates.
