    A CMAT score in the range of 95–99+ percentile, or roughly 315–350 raw marks, is sufficient to gain admission to the top MBA programmes in India. Cutoffs beyond the 99th percentile are probably seen at highly competitive B-schools like Great Lakes Institute of Management, SIMSREE Mumbai, JBIMS Mumbai, and others. Because the exam difficulty level and the number of applicants vary annually, these cutoffs may vary significantly from year to year. Students ought to plan out how they will study the material. It aids in their exam performance. Additionally, it's critical that the pupils practise time management.
