The most relevant question at this stage of an MBA aspirant’s life is: From which colleges can I get an interview call? While we tried answering these questions individually, however soon realised that since the questions are common, it will be easier for us to post an article giving the required information, hence this post is giving the estimated cut-offs of various MBA institutes. Most of the cut-offs given in the table below are estimated based on information collected from students and other informal sources and hence these should be taken as indicative and not sacrosanct. The expected CAT/XAT score is a little less than the cut-offs given in this table.

Finally, in addition to CAT/XAT scores, some of these institutes take CMAT, MAT and ATMA scores also hence you should apply on the basis of your best score out of the tests that you have taken, please refer to the admission page of the institute for this information.

Now a big question is:

What after CAT 2022?

  • Apply to B-schools based on your expected percentile:

After taking CAT, you must have got an idea about the expected percentile. The answer to what after CAT also includes applying to B-schools based on your expected CAT cut-off. Apart from the 20 IIMs where the application takes place by default along with CAT, you have to apply separately for the other CAT participating institutes. There are over 100 B-schools which accept the scores of CAT for the admission to their two year full time management programmes apart from IIMs. The cut-off of the B-schools ranges from 50 to over 90 percentile. Based on the institute cut-offs and your expected percentile, apply within the deadline stated by the B-schools.

  • Prepare for WAT/PI rounds:

After taking CAT, it is time to buck up with a strategy to crack the WAT and GD-PI. After taking the exams, shift your focus on the preparation of your soft skills in order to ace these rounds of the final selection. Clarity in your thought process is the key factor in cracking these rounds.

Different B-schools allot varying weightage to these rounds. While some management schools have all three rounds, some conduct just one round as a part of their admission criteria. As far as IIMs are concerned, they conduct WAT and PI rounds.
