94 Percentile in CAT 2025: With a 94 percentile in CAT 2025, management aspirants should expect to attain an overall score of 60.8 marks based on last year’s trends. While 94 percentile is generally considered a decent percentile, the chances for admission to the top-tier institutes are limited. Here is a detailed analysis of the overall and sectional expected scores, along with the institutes accepting 94 percentile, with a detailed analysis of the possibilities for admissions is provided here. Candidates should always aim to secure their best chances at securing the best seat for admission based on all factors considered for admissions.

96 Percentile in CAT 2025: For candidates expecting to score 96 percentile in CAT 2025, they should be prepared to obtain admissions to some of the best management institutes. To achieve 96 percentile, candidates are required to score a minimum of 66.3+ marks overall, with a sectional expected score of Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC): 34.5+ marks, Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR): 22.9+ marks, and Quantitative Aptitude (QA): 24.4+ marks. It should be noted that this projected marks vs percentile is based on the past trends, and is most likely to change as per the latest data, including the performance of the candidates in the CAT 2025 exam, overall level of difficulty, previous year's cutoffs and various other factors. However, 96 percentile is a good score, and candidates will be admitted to the top management institute with such percentile.

The overall CAT 2025 cutoff percentile for MBA admissions at the IIM Visakhapatnam is likely to be around 90 for the general category and between 75 and 45 for the reserved categories. While the official cutoff is yet to be released, it is anticipated to closely mimic the following tentative cutoff data. It is mandatory to secure the specified overall and sectional CAT cutoff percentile to be shortlisted for the WAT-PI round of selection. Those who meet either of the two cutoff requirements may still be eligible for shortlisting based on the grounds of gender diversity (reserved for female candidates) and a non-engineering background. The CAT cutoff percentile varies from one IIM to another and therefore, it is important to meet the admission criteria to get shortlisted for the MBA program at the specific institute.

IIM Sirmaur CAT 2025 expected percentile cutoff for preliminary shortlisting is set to make sure only candidates with great overall performance in the CAT exam move forward towards the next stages, which include the Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI).

The expected cutoff percentile for IIM Sambalpur CAT 2025 preliminary shortlisting is around 90 for the general category, 80 for the EWS category, 75 for the OBC category, and between 45 to 55 for the remaining reserved categories. It is expected to closely mimic the cutoff percentile trends of the past year across all the student categories. Students are required to meet the cutoff percentile for the overall and sectional categories individually to qualify for the WAT-PI shortlisting. Moreover, if any student scores just below the specified cutoff percentile, they can still apply through a list of factors like gender diversity (reserved for female candidates) and a non-engineering background. The official data for the institute-specific cutoff percentile is likely to be released soon.
