CAT Cutoff
CAT Cutoff
CAT cutoff information must be separated into two different concepts.
Qualifying cutoff
An IIM may specify minimum overall and sectional CAT percentile requirements for a candidate to be considered for a particular admission process.
Admission cutoff
The actual shortlisting and final admission process may depend on additional factors and institute-specific criteria. Therefore, a published minimum qualifying percentile should not be treated as a guaranteed admission cutoff.
Each IIM publishes or applies its own admission criteria. These may include CAT performance together with academic record, diversity factors, work experience, performance in written assessment or personal interview stages, and other institute-specific components.
Historical cutoff values should always be labelled by IIM, programme, category and admission year.
