IIM Bangalore · PGP (MBA), 2027-29 (policy read; not in the check above)
Why it is not in the check: Its CAT 2026 minimum percentiles are not printed: the document says only that there is a pre-set minimum in every section and that a positive raw score is needed in all three. Its table of percentile cut-offs is labelled as the 2026-28 batch's, based on CAT 2025.
- First shortlist: a pre-set minimum in every CAT 2026 section, and a positive raw score in all three sections.
- Score before the interview (100 points): CAT 55 (VARC 19, DILR 21, QA 15), Class 10 marks 10, Class 12 marks 10, bachelor's marks 10, work experience or a professional course 10, gender diversity 5.
- Work experience before the interview: 10 points from 36 months (counted up to July 2026), and a proportional share below that.
- The top 10 in each category by CAT total, by adjusted bachelor's score and by CA/ICWA/CS score are called to interview directly.
- Final score (100): interview 40, writing test 10, CAT 25 (VARC 8.75, DILR 10, QA 6.25), Class 10 5, Class 12 5, bachelor's 5, work experience or professional course 10.
- Last cycle's minimum percentiles (2026-28 batch, CAT 2025), as the 2027-29 document prints them (overall / VARC / DILR / QA): General 85 / 80 / 75 / 75; NC-OBC and EWS 75 / 70 / 65 / 65; SC 70 / 65 / 60 / 60; ST 65 / 55 / 55 / 55; PwD 60 / 50 / 50 / 50. They are not the CAT 2026 minimums.
