CAT Exam Cutoff 2024 (Expected)

CAT cutoff is an indication of the minimum percentile score that a candidate is expected to achieve to get shortlisted by the participating institutes. While top B-schools are known to have a higher CAT cutoff range, the minimum cutoff varies from institute to institute.

CAT cutoff generally depends on certain factors like the difficulty level of the exam, number of test-takers, number of seats, etc.

Further, it is worth noting that there are two stages to qualify for the admission procedure of CAT:

• Stage I → It includes the profile score and the test score (CAT/XAT/NMAT, etc), out of which the profile score may include your academic performance, work experience, and academic and gender diversity, which may vary based on the Institute. 
  (Remember, the CAT percentile is just the first step towards receiving a call. The only thing you can work on is your test score and how to maximize it.)
• Stage II → It includes the WAT-GD-PI rounds, which are again something in your control, and you can work on them to gain admission to your dream B-school.
