Profile sensitivity
Medium
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
IMS IIT MBA cutoff context + OYM competitive buffer
Basic eligibility
Recognised bachelor’s degree; many IIT/NIT MBA programs expect around 60%/equivalent (with category relaxation where applicable). Check the current program notification.
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
Entrance score → application/profile shortlist → WAT/GD/PI or institute-specific assessment → final composite based on test, profile and interview.
Academics, work experience and diversity
Academic consistency, relevant work experience, extracurricular/leadership evidence and interview quality can improve conversion chances even when the entrance score is only around the target band.
