Your gap of a year will not at all be a reason of hindrance in your admission process or percentile for that matter.

Hello,
Year gap after UG will not affect your percentile or the admission process. -
Hi Rahul,
Having a gap year does not affect your percentile or the admission process, but you might be asked about the reason for the gap during the personal interview. So it is advisable to be prepared for such questions. -
No, there is no such problem. Only when your admission is confirmed, you have to fill a Gap Certificate whose format will be provided to you at the appropriate time. Gaps do not have any effect on percentiles or in other process. The interviewer might ask you the reason for the gap if he/she feels like so it is advisable to take a drop if one has concrete reasons for the same.

CAT cut offs do not flutuate much. For the past few years, the CAT exam cut offs for IIMs or other top colleges have not seen much change. If there is any change at all, it is in decimals.

CAT cut offs for 2026 admission will largely remain the same as the CAT 2025 exam difficulty level was same as last year and number of takers dipped from last year.
CAT cut offs for IIM admission 2026 batch will not change. They will remain high between 92-100 percentile. Top 6 IIM cut offs will be between 98-100, while the cut offs for rest of them will be between 92-97.
There will be no option of result evaluation in CAT 2025. Candidates cannot challenge the scorecard. Marks and percentiles printed on CAT 2025 result cum scorcard will be final.
CAT result is not released offline. Candidates have to download it from the iimcat.ac.in website only. The scorecard is available for download for 1 year.
As the Manipal University CAT Cutoff 2025 is not out yet, according to the Manipal University CAT Cutoff 2024, the qualifying cutoff was 25 percentile for General category candidates under the All India quota. The CAT cutoff for 2023 was also the same. So, going by the previous years' cutoff trends, the CAT Cutoff 2025 would fall around this level.
Please note that this is just an estimation and the actual cutoff may vary.
