CAT cut-offs vary across different institutes and are subject to change each year based on various factors such as the difficulty level of the exam, the number of test-takers, and the overall performance of candidates. Generally, cut-offs are expressed in terms of percentile scores. Here are approximate percentile cut-offs for some of the top IIMs and other premier B-schools in recent years:
Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs):
- IIM Ahmedabad: 99+
- IIM Bangalore: 99+
- IIM Calcutta: 99+
- IIM Lucknow: 98+
- IIM Kozhikode: 97+
- IIM Indore: 97+
- IIM Shillong: 95+
Other Premier B-Schools:
Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), Delhi: 98+
XLRI, Jamshedpur: 95+
SP Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR), Mumbai: 90+
Indian School of Business (ISB), Hyderabad: 90+
These are approximate percentile cut-offs and may vary slightly from year to year. Candidates scoring above these percentiles are usually shortlisted for further rounds of the selection process, which may include Group Discussion (GD), Written Ability Test (WAT), and Personal Interview (PI).
For the most accurate and updated information on CAT cut-offs, candidates are advised to check the official websites of respective B-schools and admission authorities or consult credible MBA preparation platforms that provide detailed analyses of CAT results and cutoff trends for each institute.
