To secure admission in the prestigious Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) via the Common Admission Test (CAT), candidates need to meet varying percentile cutoffs depending on the category of the IIM. The Baby IIMs, which include newer and smaller IIMs like IIM Jammu, IIM Sirmaur, and others, typically have a lower cutoff, starting at around the 70th percentile. These institutes provide good opportunities for students with moderate CAT scores.

For the New IIMs, which are relatively established but not as old as the original IIMs, the cutoff percentile is higher. Institutes like IIM Ranchi, IIM Raipur, and IIM Rohtak generally require candidates to achieve at least the 85th percentile. These institutions offer a balance of reputation and growing opportunities.

Securing admission into the well-regarded “M7” IIMs (often referred to as MILK for IIMs Mumbai, Indore, Lucknow, Kozhikode) necessitates a higher CAT percentile, typically above the 90th percentile. These IIMs are renowned for their robust academic curriculum and impressive placement records.

Finally, for the top-tier IIMs, known as the ABC IIMs (IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, and IIM Calcutta), the competition is the toughest. Candidates generally need to score in the 95th percentile or higher to have a realistic chance of admission. These institutions are globally recognized for their excellence in management education and their rigorous selection process.
