General-category applicants must score 75 percentiles in each segment (VARC, DILR, and QA) and overall 95 percentile to go beyond the initial shortlist.. Other category cutoffs are: EWS: 55 each section, 81 overall NC-OBC: 52 each, 81 overall SC: 45 each, 66 overall ST / DAP (PwD): 25 in VARC & DILR, 30 in QA, 42 overall
Not necesserily, the cutoffs are potential levels for shortlisting, but attaining them does not ensure a personal interview call.. Candidates are ranked within categories and only a subset advance to the PI stage.
No. Instead, the CAT cut-off requirement will remain the same for MBA, MBA-BA, and MBA-HR in 2025-27. The percentile thresholds I shared apply to all these programs.
In terms of final selection, the CAT component accounts for 65% of the Consolidated Merit List (CML), followed by your profile (20%) and PI + WAT (15%).
They’ve been fairly consistent. For the 2024–26 batch, general-category cutoffs were 73 in each section and 94 overall—just a slight uptick for 2025–27 to 75 and 95 respectively.
