IRMA Cut Offs in Shortlisting
This year the admission criteria for PGDRM 2019-21 batch at IRMA has been changed as the shortlisting for final selection round will be based either on profile or on the CAT/XAT score, and only the shortlisted candidates will be able to appear in IRMASAT and GD-PI

Accordingly, IRMA cut offs for Admission 2019 differ for both the rounds. The shortlisting cut offs based on profile and cut offs for Merit based exam score are different. Besides, IRMA has shifted its mandatory IRMASAT to final selection round instead of pre-requiste for shortlisting.

IRMA CAT and XAT Cut offs
IRMA gives higher emphasis on other quality parameters in its admission process. Accordingly, the B-school has not pegged the CAT, XAT score cut off very high. The candidates above the minimum cut-offs in the CAT 2018/XAT 2019 will be considered for final admission round
