*Note that certain colleges have different cut-offs for different MBA programs. The given cut-offs indicate the minimum percentile required for any MBA program in the institute, based on the previous years' trends.

Also, most of the B-schools have the criteria for sectional cut-offs and shortlist only those candidates who have cleared both the sectional and overall cut-offs. The institutes vary widely in the weightage given to CAT score, academic profile, work experience, and other parameters. In other words, B-schools calls depend on a wide range of factors. For detailed information on the same, you may check out the official websites of the respective colleges.
