The approximate, estimated CAT cutoffs at which general students get calls for WAT/GD/PI rounds from the top IIMs in India are listed in the table below. There are many factors that may affect these based on diversity of gender, UG specialisation, reservation categories, academic record, etc.

It depends from IIM to IIM as new IIMs have lower cut off in comparison to older IIMs. But you must score more than 95 percentile and for older IIMs may be above 99.
