Here are the anticipated shortlisting cut-offs and overall percentile in CAT 2025 for the General category in the top IIMs. These cut-offs are predicted according to the trends used in past years, and these may change at any time in the year, according to the difficulty level and the overall performance.
Institute Name | Sectional Cutoff Percentile | Overall Percentile |
IIM Ahmedabad | 85 | 95 |
IIM Bangalore | 75 | 85 |
IIM Calcutta | 80 | 85 |
IIM Lucknow | 85 | 90 |

IIM Jammu | 75 | 95 |
IIM Nagpur | 75 | 95 |
IIM Sirmaur | 75 | 95 |
After the announcement of the results, the attention will shift to MBA/PGDM admission. Shortlisting for WAT-PI (written ability test and personal interview) rounds by IIMs and other leading B-schools on the basis of CAT 2025 scores, academic profile, work experience and diversity factors will commence. Each IIM will publish its own cut-off and shortlisting criteria through its website.
If your percentile in the General category is around 95+ in CAT 2025 , you will be considered for shortlisting by many top IIMs and other leading B-schools. But it is not the final selection will be based on CAT score only- good academic profile, relevant work experience and good WAT/Personal Interview performances can considerably enhance your chances even when your percentile is a bit below the expected cutoff.
Candidates are requested to keep visiting the official CAT website and not to rely on any unauthorised sources/rumours. The website may also be slow due to the large number of visitors as a result, so be patient.
