The expected cut off will range between 98 to 99 percentile. IIM- B has many more parameters to judge for shortlisting such as academic performance in class 10th, 12th, graduation and work experience. After that to get admission in IIM-B, your performance in GD and PI round will also count.

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.
