IIM Kozhikode Cut Off

IIM Kozhikode's admission criteria for its Post Graduate Programme are based on CAT scores, Group Discussion (GD) or Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) and individual profile. The first step in the process is the shortlisting based on CAT score and academic performance. But only short listing on the basis of IIM Kozhikode cutoff figures does not do the job; one needs to work hard in the second round too. 

IIM Kozhikode Selection Criteria

A list of students is prepared on the basis of Aggregate Index Score as measured by the performance in CAT, graduate degree and other relevant factors. IIM Kozhikode cutoff is then suitably applied to prepare the merit list. The student's performance in CAT is important in the overall admission process. It is equally important to perform well to clear the IIM Kozhikode cutoff. The scaled scores of both the sections in CAT are counted towards calculating the IIM Kozhikode cutoff. Post-qualification work experience carries suitable weightage depending on its quality. The final weightage given to various variables is as follows:

CAT score: 44%

PI: 44%

Resume: 12%

The following table shows the actual CAT cut-off 2021 for IIM-K. For CAT 2022, the cut-off figures are expected to be more or less the same:

Apart from the overall cut-off percentile, IIM-K also specifies sectional cut-offs. For CAT 2021, the following cut-offs were stated for the individual sections. The cut-off figures for 2022 session will likely remain on similar lines:

VARC: 75
DILR: 75
QA: 75

Besides, the institute also requires the candidate to have achieved at least 60% in class 10th and 12th, and graduation.
