Hello !

Yes , cut -off of IIM C is below 90 percentile ,but it is only for the initial screening , you will get a call or not depends on many factors like your academic profile , work experience , diversity area .

If you want to know detail split up of these criteria please visit their official site :

https://www.iimcal.ac.in/programs/pgp/admission/admission-policy/admission-procedure-for-domestic-candidates

Also , required percentile will varies as per your profile , for example if you have low academic score then you need to get a very high CAT score for getting admission , I will advise you to check the detailed eligibility on the site , it will help you.

Hope it helps !

Dear Aspirant,

To get a call from the IIMs, your past academic records, your graduation stream, your gender, your work experience, all are considered. IIM Calcutta shortlists around 2000 candidates for the final selection round. The shortlisting criteria of IIM Calcutta are so designed that more than 40% female candidates are shortlisted by IIMC for PI-WAT.

In an average profile, you can expect a call from IIM-C at anything above 99 percentile, but for an engineer, male candidate with average acads, it is unlikely that a call will be made, however, call can be expected at 99.5+.

Hope this helps. Thank you.
