Category-wise IIM Ahmedabad CAT Cutoff Percentile 2025; Know how much percentile required for preliminary shortlisting
IIM Ahmedabad has announced the CAT cut off 2025 category-wise for preliminary shortlisting. Know the overall and sectional percentile required for General, EWS, NC-OBC, SC, ST, and PwD categories for the CAT 2025 exam.
The Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad has published the category-wise CAT cutoff percentile 2025, which will be used for the preliminary shortlisting of candidates for the PGP 2026-28 batch. As always, the university follows a strict and competitive selection process, and the IIM Ahmedabad cut off 2025 is the first major filter students must cross before reaching the next steps of admission.
IIMA has kept its two-step admission process intact for the new batch. The first step is the preliminary shortlisting based entirely on CAT 2025 scores, where students must meet both the overall percentile and the sectional percentile requirements. Along with this, candidates must have a positive raw score in each section - VARC, DILR, and QA - to even be considered. These IIM Ahmedabad cut-off percentiles act like the main gate before students are invited for the AWT (Analytical Writing Test) and the PI (Personal Interview).
