IIM Nagpur Cutoff represents the minimum required CAT percentile for admissions into IIM N's MBA. Candidates who achieve this minimum score are eligible to be invited to participate in the admission process, which will allow them a chance to participate in WAT/PI. The IIM Nagpur cutoff includes both the overall percentile and sectional percentiles, and has historically been an attractive target for candidates seeking admission to newer IIMs due to IIM Nagpur cutoffs being competitive but marginally lower than older IIMs.
