Hello there. Hope you are doing good. I would like to tell you that all the IIMs only accept CAT score. APICET score or any other entrance exam is not accepted by any of the IIMs. You need to clear the CAT cutoffs to get admission into any of the IIM. I hope you found this answer helpful. Good luck for your future.

Hello aspirant,

Admission in IIMs are dependent upon different criteria while the most important and the thing which carries the most weightage is the CAT scores, For admission in Different IIMs there are different cutoffs while some go upto 99-100 percentile others go up to 80-85 also, it depends on caste and category aswell, other than that in top IIMs you will be able to get admission on the basis of GD scores, PI scores, experience scores, 10th, 12th and graduate percentages etc.

There are a lot of factors associated with admission in IIMs and you can know the required cutoff and more information about it in the following website,

It's a good you have been shortlisted for TAPMI. it is really a good start up for career. And you can also get nice career option in CAT. I can suggest you some companies (https://vipmatrimonialservices.com/) please wait for 2 days.

Hello Rasagna...The minimum percentile that is required for any IIMs is 90 for general category and for obc, 75 percentile or above 75 percentile is required in any IIMs...so if you belongs to obc category then you must have minimum 75 percentile in CAT exam...but as you told you have got 45 percentile,it is hard to get a chance on any IIMs...but keep trying...If there is a will there is way...so best of luck for future.

Hi debashish,

Last year cutoff of IIM Visakhapatnam was 85 percentile for general category. So if we consider last year trend then your daughter has low chance. However cutoff percentile may change. You can check detail here

Hope it helps and good luck.

Hi Arshad,

I would like to congratulate you on securing such a decent percentile in CAT. Considering that you are from OBC category will enhance your chances of securing a call from good B-Schools. I am listing down some of those B-Schools from which you can expect a call with their average salary:

However, this is not an exhaustive list and there are some other colleges from which you can expect a call. You will have to appear for another test for admission in IRMS and your CAT score will only act as a qualifying one.

Your graduation in BCom will serve you as a catalyst since colleges prefer diversity in their batch as most of the people doing their MBA nowadays are engineers.

Now, since you have a fair understanding of the colleges, you may as well start preparing for Group Discussions and Personal Interviews since you won’t be having ample time of preparing once the colleges start rolling out the shortlist and summon you to appear for their GD/WAT/PI process.

I hope I have been able to solve your query. Do write to us in case of further  doubts and we will be glad to help you out. All the best!!!

Hi Nitesh,

Firstly, I would like to congratulate you on getting such a decent percentile. You have done hard wok throughout the year and this has reflected in your percentile. I addition to that, you have an awesome profile. Being a B-School student, I have seen placement processes where profiles similar to yours are getting shortlisted for interviews for summer placements and final placements. The fact that you got 90+ percentage in both class 10 and 12 would be like icing on the cake where your perfect work experience will pull up your CV. So you won’t be having any kind of problem if you keep your pointers good in academics during your MBA, though it doesn’t matter much.

I am jotting you down some of the top colleges and their CAT cut offs:

These are some of the top colleges and the average placement packages that you can expect at the end of your 2 year MBA program.

You will be getting a call from mostly all of the baby IIMs, namely

• IIM Sirmaur
• IIM Bodh Gaya
• IIM Udaipur
• IIM Jammu
• IIM Ranchi
• IIM Amritsar

What I can say is that, you have a very good chance of converting some of the renowned B-Schools in India. So just start preparing for the initial Group Discussion, Case Presentation and Personal Interview rounds.

I hope I have been able to solve your query. Do write to us in case of any doubts and we will be happy to help. All the best!!!

Krishna, to be honest with you, all the IIMs even the new ones require an overall percentage of 95 and above for General Category. So that rules you off of the IIMs list. You have a narrow chance at IIT Madras. In 2019, 85.11 was the cut off percentile. You also can have a shot at IIT Kharaghpur. This IIT had a cut off percentile at 85% in 2019, You can also try BITS Pilani because in the last couple of years, their cut off percentile was 60%. IIM Nagpur has lesser overall percentile for CAT but again the minimal cut off itself is 95 and above. But IIT Madras and IIT Kharaghpur are your best shots if you are particular about studying in IITs or IIMs. A student with lesser cut off than yours got a call from IIM Rohtak but we do not have your academic details to let you know your chances with IIM Rohtak.  Because we do not have your sectional cut offs and your Academic details, we cannot help you with more options but you can check out Path finder for more options that you might have: https://bschool.careers360.com/pathfinder/cat
