May 11 2024

Percentile Required for IIM Call

CAT Exam is nearing, CAT Exam Application notification is out and students are registering to appear for the Exam. Students intending to pursue management education from the highest B-Schools of the country have started to get ready for CAT examination.

To score well in CAT, candidates need to work strategically and consistently to succeed in the benchmark set by these institutes.A candidate shall solely be admitted to anyone of the IIMs if he/she scores quite the minimum CAT score set by the institute.

Every year the IIMs unleash a cut-off list whereas saying the admission criteria. Students meeting these minimum cut-off percentiles are shortlisted for section 2 of the admission method which has GD & PI. We tend to detect that there aren't any major changes in the minimum CAT percentile of IIMs within the previous few years.

We have compiled the information of all IIMs as well as the new IIMs, listing down the minimum CAT score necessities. 

So, before you start together with your journey of getting ready for CAT 2020, set a target to be achieved, supported the data bestowed below:

As per numerous news reports and government documents, the overall variety of IIMs stand at twenty-one. However, there is a small degree of confusion. Consistent with some, there are twenty IIMs (not 21). This rumor started currently once IIM state (AP) was proclaimed within the latest Union Budget. AP already has associate degree IIM. So, it’s being assumed that this twenty-first IIM is supposed for the state of Telangana. However, no official details are out. 

Please Note: The below-mentioned cut-offs are minimum percentile required to be eligible to get an interview call from IIMs. Getting these percentiles do not guarantee a call from IIMs. The actual percentile required may vary.
