What is the cutoff for OBC candidate in CAT to get in IIM-B?

The CAT cutoff varies according to the number of students applying etc. There are other factors also that are considered for shortlisting like 10th,12th, Graduation marks, work experience (number of months and quality), academic diversity and gender diversity. For OBC 96+ should be a good estimate. Aim for a maximum score.

Hi, It is simply not possible to know the exact CAT percentile which can guarantee a call. It depends on other factors as well, such as the academic diversity, work-experience (both in terms of number of months and relevance) and academic diversity. Apart from that, it also changes from year to year and can be quite random. So, instead of trying to score a fixed number, I would suggest you to give your best and try to maximize your score. That way, even if you don't get a call from IIMB, you still can aim for other top management schools. If you are talking in terms of minimum possible cutoffs to be eligible, then in 2017, it was 75 in VARC, 70 each in DILR and QA. Overall, it was 80 percentile.

Dear Srujan, For IIM, Bangalore CAT cutoff is not really a good indicator (can go as low as 94-98 percentile) but the overall score is. I would, therefore, suggest that you use Shiksha Call Predictor, wherein you can enter all your graduation scores, etc and, get a scientific answer to your question. In any circumstance, you should aim to score as much as possible.
