Since CAT/MAT/XAT/CMAT score contributes to 45% weightage during the admissions process, hence it is very important to have good percentile in it. Another advantage of good percentile in such exam is that you may become eligible for scholarship as well. I think 50 to 60 percentile is the minimum CAT

Yes, minimum 50% marks are required, but if you have appeared in any other competitive exam with good percentile in MAT, XAT, CMAT, ATMA can also help to get admission in Jaipuria College-Indore.

IIM Calcutta has only mentioned accepting GMAT score for admission into EMBA courses.

However, CAT is commonly accepted by other similar institutes for both MBA and MBAEx courses. Thus, candidates are advised to ask admission desk for confirmation on this question.

Is a score of 85% in CAT enough to secure MBA admission at IIM Calcutta?

It is not possible to determine a candidate's admission in IIM Calcutta MBA course through CAT score alone. In Stage 1, a score 85% in CAT will be enough for a general category candidate to be selected for PI+WAT admission stage.

Final admission cutoffs are based on many factors other than CAT score.
