Summary: The IIM Indore cutoff is a key admission factor for PGP and PGP-HRM programs. It consists of sectional and overall CAT percentiles, which are usually 90-97 in general and lower for NC-OBC, SC, ST, EWS and PwD, giving diversity and equal opportunity.

The cutoff for the Indian Institute of Management Indore is pivotal in deciding students' eligibility for its well known management programs, i.e., the Post Graduate Programme and PGP-HRM. Category and section wise cutoff scores for the CAT exam are announced by the institute annually, which represent minimum qualifying marks for candidates for them to be considered for the subsequent stages of the admission process viz. WAT and personal interview.

IIM Indore tends to have a high but equally balanced cutoff level. In the case of general category candidates, the aggregate CAT percentile cutoff tends to be in the order of 90 to 97 percentile. However, the sectional cutoffs (Quantitative Aptitude, Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension and Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning) are equally crucial in ensuring that the candidates consistently perform well across all sectors. The cut-off in the limited categories such as NC-OBC, SC, ST and PwD is relatively low in accordance with government mandated restrictions to encourage diversity.

Apart from CAT scores, IIM Indore adopts a holistic evaluation process. The cutoff is not the sole determining factor; 10th and 12th grade academic performance, work experience, diversity attributes and performance in the WAT and PI round are all considered. IIM Indore also focuses on consistency in academic performance, tending to give greater weight to past academic achievements than a few other IIMs.

The IIM Indore cutoff overall is designed to select candidates who not just perform well in aptitude but also indicate balanced intellectual and personal promise. Crossing the cutoff is the first step towards securing a place in one of India's best business schools.

Factors affecting the CAT Cutoff 

1. The number of candidates: The number of candidates appearing for the CAT in a given year directly affects the cutoff. An increased number of candidates tends to create more competition which may drive the cutoff higher.

2. Difficulty Level of the CAT Exam: If the paper is tougher compared to previous years the cutoff percentile can be lower because fewer candidates will get high marks. Easier papers, on the other hand can push the cutoff higher.

3. Number of seats: The intake capacity of a given program for IIM Indore is also critical.  With limited seats and a vast pool of candidates the cutoff is automatically higher.

4. The category of the candidate: Cutoffs differ by category such as General, NC-OBC, SC, ST, and PwD. General category cutoffs are higher, but reserved categories have lower cutoffs as per government rules to ensure inclusion.

 5. Academic Records weightage: IIM Indore gives significant weight to Class 10 and 12 marks. Therefore how academic uniformity is given weightage while shortlisting may indirectly contribute to the cutoff.
