IIM Ahmedabad gives consideration to a lot of factors while giving an interview call to candidates. These factors include CAT score, Class 10, Class 12, and Bachelor's degree marks, work experience, academic, and gender diversity. If you even score somewhere around 99 percentile in the CAT , this will not mean that you will get a confirm call from IIM Ahmedabad. However, if you belong to the reserved category, then there are good chances of receiving an interview call at less percentile. Therefore, the CAT score is not the only criteria but is one of the criteria for admission to the IIM Ahmedabad . The cutoff will depend upon various factors which will change every year. However, candidates must meet the minimum overall percentile of 80 and sectional percentile of 70 in all three sections (less percentile for reserved category candidates) to become eligible to receive the WATPI shortlist.
