श्रेणी-वार अपेक्षित कटऑफ (सांकेतिक)
| श्रेणी | अपेक्षित कटऑफ (सांकेतिक) |
|---|---|
| General | 90-100 percentile (typically 98+ for top IIMs; 90-95 for newer IIMs) |
| EWS | 88-98 percentile (typically 96+ for top IIMs; 88-93 for newer IIMs) |
| OBC (NC) | 80-94 percentile (typically 94+ for top IIMs; 80-88 for newer IIMs) |
| SC | 60-75 percentile (typically 70-75 for top IIMs; 60-65 for newer IIMs) |
| ST | 50-65 percentile (typically 60-65 for top IIMs; 50-55 for newer IIMs) |
| PwD | 50-70 percentile (varies by institute; typically 50-60 for newer IIMs, 60-70 for top IIMs) |
- General vs. OBC gap: Approximately 8-12 percentile points for top IIMs (e.g., Gen 98+ vs. OBC 86-90); gap narrows for newer IIMs to 5-8 percentile points.
- Cutoff drivers: Difficulty level of exam, number of test-takers, seat availability at individual IIMs, and institute-specific sectional cutoffs (each IIM sets independent criteria beyond CAT percentile).
- Note: These are *CAT percentile* cutoffs for shortlisting; final selection involves GD-PI-WAT performance, academic profile, work experience, and diversity factors, which vary significantly across institutes.
