Do IIM calls at 90 percentile?
Yes, most IIMs have a minimum CAT cutoff around 90 percentile so you can expect a call from IIMs if you touch the 90 percentile mark. The institute-wise overall CAT cutoff is as follows
|
IIMs |

IIM Ahmedabad |

|
IIM Calcutta |

The new IIMs usually have their cut-off requirement at 85 with IIM Shillong having a cut-off of 70 in CAT. However, it’s the sectional cutoff that is more important. One needs to fulfill the minimum cut-off requirement for each section, which varies from IIM to IIM. The lowest sectional cutoff is that if IIM Ahmedabad one can get a call with just 70 percentile.
The actual CAT cut-off is higher than that released by institutes before shortlisting for the further process of the institutes. For most of the IIMs, this cutoff falls in the range of 96 to 100 percentile while the released cutoff is just in the range of 80 to 90 percentile.
