The minimum percentile required to get admission to PGDM programs through CAT, CMAT, CET, and XAT exams may vary depending on the institute and the program. The percentile required for admission may also depend on other factors such as the number of applicants, the availability of seats, and the overall difficulty level of the exam.
In general, to be considered for admission to a good PGDM program, you should aim to score a percentile of at least 85-90 in CAT, CMAT, CET, and XAT exams. However, the cutoff percentile for admission to top-tier institutes can be higher, usually in the range of 95 to 99 percentile.

Generally 90 above percentile is required in addition to good performance in GDPI. This years process is already done.
