Admission & Realistic Cutoff

CAT

Competitive target

Safer target

99.7+ is a safer planning target for a typical General-category profile.

Profile sensitivity

High

Sectional guidance

Do not plan only for the overall percentile. Keep all CAT sections strong; for top schools, ~80–85+ sectional percentile is a safer planning floor, subject to category/profile-specific rules.

Cutoff basis

OYM competitive target; profile-sensitive, benchmarked to CL historical-call logic + current IIM process

Basic eligibility

Bachelor’s degree/equivalent; typically 50% for General/EWS/NC-OBC and 45% for SC/ST/PwD; final-year candidates can apply subject to CAT/IIM rules.

These are indicative competitive targets based on recent admission trends, not guaranteed interview-call cutoffs. Your category, academics, work experience and profile can materially affect shortlisting.

How Selection Works

Process

CAT → profile/composite-score shortlist → WAT/PI or institute-specific interview stages → final composite using CAT, academics, work experience/diversity and interview components.

Academics, work experience and diversity

Shortlisting can materially depend on Class 10/12/graduation marks, academic discipline, gender diversity and work experience; the exact weights vary by IIM.

Weightages / note

Shortlisting: CAT 65%, Class 10 10%, Class 12 10%, Graduation 10%, Work Ex 5%, Diversity 0% (IMS 2026 summary).
