Cut-off marks or scores or percentiles represent the “minimum qualifying marks” that a candidate must achieve in an entrance exam to progress to the next stage of the selection process. For MBA admissions, IIM Ahmedabad Cut Off scores are typically released for the CAT exam. These cut-offs vary across institutions and programs, depending on factors such as institute rankings, the number of applications received, intake capacity, or available seats. It’s important to note that IIM Ahmedabad Year Wise Cut Off may vary slightly from year to year.
Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad MBA Cut-Offs
IIM Ahmedabad releases two different CAT Cut-Offs: IIM Ahmedabad Qualifying CAT and IIM Ahmedabad Final CAT Cut Off. Let’s understand both of them.
IIM Ahmedabad Qualifying CAT Cut Off
These cut-offs are used to shortlist candidates for the Personal Interview (PI) round. The IIM Ahmedabad Qualifying CAT Cut Off is typically around the 80th percentile.
This percentile is lower compared to institutes like IIM Lucknow (90), IIM Indore (90), IIM Rohtak (96), IIM Bangalore (85), IIM Calcutta (85), and IIM Kozhikode (85).
IIM Ahmedabad Final Cut Off
This refers to the actual cut-off for students admitted into the MBA program. The IIM Ahmedabad Final Cut Off tends to be higher and typically falls between CAT 96-99 percentile.
This range is comparable to IIM Lucknow, IIM Indore, IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Bangalore, which also set final cut-offs in the 95-99 percentile range. However, the variation depends on the batch profile, seat availability, and the weight assigned to other admission parameters like work experience, academics, and diversity.
While the IIM Ahmedabad Qualifying CAT Cut Off for PI round shortlisting is announced shortly after the CAT exam, the Final Cut Off for IIM Ahmedabad admission is known only after the admissions are completed.
IIM Ahmedabad Executive MBA (MBA-PGPX) Cut Off
For the Executive Post Graduate Programme (MBA-PGPX), no specific GMAT or GRE cut-off is publicly released, varying from year to year. Please refer to the EPGP cut off for IIM Kozhikode as reference here.
