Expected Cutoff Percentile for 50 Marks in CAT 2025

The expected percentile for 50 marks in CAT 2025 is 87.6th. It is not at all considered a good score for MBA admission across the IIMs. Students who secure an 87.6th percentile in CAT are likely not to get into any of the IIMs. However, there is a very slim chance of eligibility for admission into the newer IIMs like Trichy, Udaipur and Raipur, if a student applies through the gender diversity factor. The minimum required cutoff percentile for IIM MBA shortlisting is usually 95+. Students who are from the reserved categories might stand a chance to apply for the mid-tier IIMs with 50 marks in CAT 2025. Some non-IIM options for MBA admission with 87.6 percentile in CAT 2025 include IMT Ghaziabad, GIM, IMI New Delhi, and others.

Admission Policy for CAT 2025 Shortlisting

The admission policy for CAT 2025 shortlisting usually describes a two-stage process: Application Shortlisting and WAT-PI Selection. Detailed information about these two steps is provided here for your reference:

Stage 1: Application Shortlisting

The first step of MBA admission at the IIMs and other business schools is the registration process. All participants are required to submit their applications based on their CAT performance. Those who meet the minimum required cutoff and all the other admission criteria will be shortlisted further for Stage II, which comprises a written test and a personal interview round. The shortlisting process will be conducted by considering the composite score, which is calculated by taking various components such as the CAT score, classes 10th and 12th scores, Bachelor’s degree performance, work experience, and gender diversity. Each component has a separate weight for the selection criteria, and they are judged on the basis of the student’s overall and sectional cutoff scores in the CAT exam.

Stage 2: WAT-PI Selection

The WAT-PI selection process includes a written test, followed by a personal interview to finalise the candidates for admission. The post-PI scores are considered the final criterion for selection, and the parameters for this usually include personal interview round performance, WAT score, CAT score, Class 10th board score, Class 12th board score, Bachelor’s score, and work experience.

In a gist, 50 marks in CAT 2025 will be considered a very low score for MBA admission, especially into the IIMs. Students will not only not be eligible for the top-tier IIMs but also may not get into any of the remaining IIMs with an 87.6 percentile score. They will also find it difficult to get into the other elite business schools apart from the ones mentioned above in this article.
