Admission & Realistic Cutoff

CAT
Competitive target
CAT 93–96+ realistic target
Safer target
95–96+ is safer.
Profile sensitivity

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.
