CAT Cutoff

CAT Cutoff is the minimum score to be applied against candidates’ score to select them for the next round of admission process of MBA postgraduate course in IIMs and other participating B-schools of the country. It can be taken as a selection parameter which delimits the number of candidates as well as ensures that best candidates are selected. The candidate who score marks more than or equal to cutoff would get chance to participate in counselling and seat allotment.

Some of the factors on which the CAT Cutoff would be applied are - number of candidates, number of available seats for admissions, categories, reservation norms, last year admission trends, exam difficulty level, and marking scheme. An estimate is that CAT Cutoff Percentile for top B-schools would be around 97 whereas for average B-schools, it would be around 85. For lower rung colleges, one can expect cutoff to be around 70.
