    CAT marks are only one of the criterion for getting selected.SDMIMD considers overall academic consistency starting from the 10 th class to graduation.you might get a chance to sit for GD-PI even with a score that is near to the cut off set by the institute.

    CAT marks are one of the criteria for selection, if you get more than 50-60 percentile in CAT, you can expect a call for PI from the institute by filling the application form.

    You will only get a call from the college whose cut-off you have scored. There are a lot of colleges which accept low scores in CAT.
    Good luck to you.

    That depends on the college cut-off. As per your score you will get a call from the college category you fall in.

With a 300 SC category rank in CAT, your chances for NIT Trichy MBA are relatively high. Based on 2025 data, NIT Trichy generally shortlists SC candidates with CAT percentiles around 60-65. To achieve a 300 rank under SC category, you would need about a 65-70 percentile, or a score of roughly 60-65 marks out of 198 in CAT 2025, depending on difficulty and normalization process. Final selection is also based on interview, academics, and work experience. Yes, you are fairly within touch, but I would encourage you to have a solid overall profile as well to increase your chances of admission.
