Yes, chances are there but you must also present yourself in the best way. Score a percentile above 99 and perform well in GD-PI.

You have good chances provided you have exceptionally well in CAT. Keep your percentile above 99.8 and you can have calls from these premier colleges and convert it.

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?

Saurabh Khanduri

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.
