Is 15 a Good Overall Score in VARC Section in CAT 2025?

A score of 15 marks in the VARC section of CAT 2025 generally places a candidate in the 75–80 percentile range, which is comfortably above the usual IIM sectional cutoff of 70–75 percentile. This means the candidate will safely clear the VARC cutoff and won’t be eliminated because of verbal ability. However, 15 marks are still far below the 40+ marks typically needed for a 99 percentile in VARC, so this score works more as a basic safety net than a competitive advantage.

In simple terms, 15 marks keep you in the running, but they are only the starting point. To truly strengthen the chances of getting a call from the premier IIMs, a higher VARC score is essential.

Dear Student,

Since you have completed your Master’s in Psychology from Panjab University, your next step to become a trained clinical professional is to pursue an RCI-recognised Diploma in Clinical Psychology, also known as DCP. You should apply only to institutes approved by the RCI, such as IHBAS Delhi, RINPAS Ranchi, GFSU, or other government medical colleges offering DCP or M.Phil programs. Admission is usually through an entrance test and interview, and after completing DCP or M.Phil, you can obtain RCI registration to legally practice as a Clinical Psychologist in India.

Thank You
