CAT cut-off 2025 – Check Institute-wise Opening and Closing Ranks, Factors

CAT cut-off for admission to IIMs – If you are seeking admission to the IIMs, you must meet the CAT cut-off percentile for your category.

The CAT cut-off for the top IIMs can be in the 95-100 percentile range. 

The cut-off for General/NC-OBC category tends to be the highest at 98-100 percentile, whereas for SC/ST/PwD category the cut-off range is 94-100 percentile. Meanwhile, for non-IIMs, CAT cut-off can be 94-100 percentile.

The cut-off is determined based on factors like CAT merit rank, seat intake, total applicants, etc.

The CAT 2025 exam will be conducted in November 2025.

When will the CAT Cut-off 2025 be declared?

The IIMs and top MBA colleges such as FMS, IMT, MDI, SPJIMR, and MICA will release a qualifying CAT cut-off for the WAT, GD, and PI before CAT results are declared. The qualifying cut-off is the minimum score candidates need to meet to be eligible for interview shortlist.

CAT Cut-Offs  – Key points

Here are a few things you need to know about the CAT cut-off.

  • The minimum CAT cut-off for admission to any top IIM or MBA college falls in the 90 percentile range.
  • The cut-off for the top colleges – IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Kolkata, IIM Lucknow, IIM Kozhikode – can be upwards of 99 percentile.
  • The cut-offs for the Tier 2 colleges can be anywhere between 70 and 80 percentile. 
  • Cut-offs for Tier 3 colleges can hover around the 60-70 percentile range.

What is the difference between FINAL and qualifying CAT cut-off?

The qualifying CAT cut-off is the minimum score that a candidate needs to secure to be in contention for the interview conducted by the IIMs.

Or, in other words, if your CAT score is below the qualifying cut-off, you will not be eligible for the interview round.

Note the interview process includes tests like – WAT, GD, and PI.

However, simply meeting the cut-off is no guarantee the candidate will be invited for the interview. 

It is because the participating IIMs will release a FINAL cut-off of CAT based on applications they have received. 

Only such candidates who meet the final CAT cut-off will be invited for the interview round. 

You can better understand the concept by consulting the table below.

It is simply used as a minimum eligibility criteria.		The final cut-off also is no guarantee of admission as the candidate has to next appear in an interview round comprising WAT, GD, and PI.

The only exception is IIM Ahmedabad, whose qualifying cut-off has remained steady at 85 percentile. 		The final cut-off can be as high as 99.99 for the older IIMs.
Expect the cut-off to be around 95+ for the newer IIMs.

How to prepare for CAT 2025

Half measures won’t cut it if you intend to ace the CAT 2025 exam.

The difficulty and competitiveness of the exam is such that even the best of students need to be on their toes.

To give you an idea about how competitive the exam is, around 3.5 lakh candidates apply for the exam every year. Compare that to the around 5000 PGG/MBA seats offered by the participating IIMs. 

So, if you want to crack CAT and get into one of the top colleges, your CAT exam preparation needs to be top notch. Also, you can let your enthusiasm or effort slack at any moment during the preparation.

Here we discuss some vital, but easy-to-follow tips that you need to follow diligently to get a good score in CAT.

Keep reading.

How to prepare for CAT – Tips 

Now that we know CAT is tough, what NEXT?

Throw in the towel and think of some other easy alternative?

Definitely not. 

What you instead do is brace up and let out a battle cry.

Yes!

You will be going to overcome the challenge posed by the CAT exam and come out victorious by following the tips listed here.

Step 1 – Get familiar with the syllabus and exam pattern

The CAT syllabus is the constitution that you will follow. Check out the topics, weightage carried by these topics, and their difficulty level. 

You can go through previous years’ CAT question papers to get an idea about the difficulty level, how questions are framed, and also specific questions asked.

Meanwhile, the CAT exam pattern will guide how you need to prepare for the exam. For instance, if subjective and objective- type questions will need different handling.

Likewise, if a particular section or topic carries more weightage, you will have to pay more attention to such topics.

Also, the time duration per question is another aspect you will have to account for.

Step 2 – Select the best study material for CAT

Here are a few pointers on how to select the best CAT 2025 study material or books.

  • Buy books that cover the CAT syllabus
  • The books should adequately explain all the concepts; however, avoid those books that ramble on and on to explain a simple concept.
  • The most suitable books for CAT will have few errors, be it factual, grammatical or otherwise.
  • The books must also have enough examples, infographics, etc. to explain the concepts.
  • It would also be better if the books contain practice questions at the end of each chapter or at the end of the book. 
  • It is also recommended that the book is published by a well-known publisher.

Step 3 – Take notes during study

If you make the habit of taking notes during study, you are never going to waste your time idling or simply hovering over your test books, while your mind travels to some fancy location. 

The truth is many times we simply sit in front of the study table simply to rake up the study hours.

But such effort is useless. Instead, you need to make every minute of your preparation time count.

With pen and notebook in hand, you will stay engaged and manage to hold your attention span.

Yes, there will still be moments when your mind will drift. But it will be few and far between.

Also Read:

Step 4 – Solve sample papers

If you simply focus on rote learning without putting much effort on improving your problem-solving skills, on the day of the CAT exam, you will be left ruing. 

However, with sample papers in hand, you can unlock your problem-solving potential. Solve enough sample papers, and you will become so confident that problem-solving will become your second nature.

Time-management, problem-solving, handling pressure are some very important skills that you can improve immensely by solving enough sample papers.

Step 5 – Take mock tests

CAT being a very popular exam, online mock tests are available dime a dozen. But you need to take the good ones, especially the ones offered by the top coaching institutes. 

If the CAT exam-conducting body organizes mock tests, that will also do.

Simply take a few mock tests to give final touches to your CAT exam preparation. 

Step 6 – Never forget to do timely revision

Timely revision!

Yes, that is key. If you go on studying, but don’t focus any attention on revision, you will end up forgetting what you read a few weeks earlier.

In the best case scenario, you may not forget the whole thing, but still end up spending a tremendous amount of time and energy preparing the same thing again.

However, if you revise frequently, things will remain fresh and you don’t have to spend much time on the 2nd read, and the next.

In fact, after a few rounds of revision, there is a chance some of the topics will get etched on your brain.

Analytical WritingThe Analytical Writing section measures your ability to:

articulate complex ideas clearly and effectively
support ideas with relevant reasons and examples

Note that the IELTS exam will have four parts – Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.

The Speaking and Listening tests are the same in both types, but the Reading and Writing tests are different.

IELTS Academic Test – Section-wise tasks and syllabus

SectionQuestion paper structure
WritingThe section will include TWO tasks:  

Writing Task 1: You will be shown a visual representation of information; a graph, table, chart or diagram, and you have to summarise, describe or explain the information you see. Make sure you organise your response into three main parts, the introduction, an overview and the main features supported by figures from the diagram.
Writing Task 2: You will be presented with a point of view, argument, or problem. The topics can range from the environment to immigration, culture, and even technology. You might be asked to, agree or disagree with a point of view or argument, discuss two opposing views, write about the advantages or disadvantages of a topic, or explain a given problem, or the cause of a problem and offer a solution. Your response for Academic Writing Task 2 will need to be in an essay format.
Timing: 60 minutes. 
So, you may ideally spend 20 minutes on Task 1, and 40 minutes on Task 2. Note that you are responsible for managing your own time.
ReadingThe Academic Reading test assesses a wide range of reading skills including your ability to follow an argument, recognise a writer’s opinion, attitude or purpose. It looks at how well you can read to understand main ideas, details, opinions and implied meanings. Your reading comprehension skills are tested, covering skimming, scanning and reading for detail.
The Academic Reading test is made up of 3 long texts which are taken from current books, journals, magazines and newspapers. The texts are related to topics you might face if you were to study at an undergraduate or postgraduate level or apply for professional registration in an English-speaking environment.
You will have to answer 40 questions in the Academic Reading test. These questions can range from multiple choice to identifying information or a writer’s view, matching headings, features and sentence endings, as well as sentence, summary, note, table and flow-chart completions, and short-answer questions.
Timing: 60 minutes including the transfer time
SpeakingThe IELTS Speaking is the same for both General Training test and Academic test and assesses your use of spoken English. All speaking tests are conducted face-to-face with a certified IELTS examiner and are recorded in case they need to be reviewed.
The Speaking test takes between 11 and 14 minutes and consists of 3 parts. Part 1 is the first part of the test where the examiner will ask you some general questions about familiar topics like work, family, studies and hobbies.
In Part 2 you will be given a card with a topic. You will be given one minute to take notes on the topic and will be given a pencil and paper to prepare your response. You will then speak on the topic for two minutes. In Part 3 of the interview, you will have a two-way discussion with the examiner where they will ask questions related to the topic discussed in Part 2.
The Speaking test may be conducted on the same day as the other tests or a week before or after the other test parts.
Timing: 11-14 minutes
ListeningThe IELTS Listening is the same for both the IELTS Academic test and General Training test. The Listening test assesses your ability to understand main ideas, detailed information, opinions, purpose and attitudes of the speakers, as well as your ability to follow the development of ideas.
You will listen to 4 recordings in your Listening test and need to answer 40 questions based on these recordings. The first two recordings deal with situations you might experience in an everyday context. The last two recordings, however, focus on situations that might occur in an education or training context.
In recordings 1 and 3 you will hear a conversation between two or more speakers, however in recordings 2 and 4 will hear a monologue. You will need to answer questions connected to the recordings ranging from multiple choice to matching information, headings, features and sentence endings, as well as sentence, summary, note, table, diagram or flow-chart completion.
Timing: The test takes approximately 30 minutes. In addition, you are allowed an extra 10 minutes to transfer your answers from the question booklet to the answer sheet.

IELTS Band Score

The English-language skills of the candiddate during the IELTS exam are measured against band scores. These band scores range from 0 – 9; each band score corresponds to a level of English-language competence.

For example, if you get a band score of 6, it signifies you are a competent user with more or less effective command of the language despite some inaccuracies, inappropriacies and misunderstandings. They can also use and understand fairly complex language, particularly in familiar situations.

Note that the candidate will be assigned a band score for each part in addtion to an overall band score. The overall score is the average of your band scores for Speaking, Reading, Writing, and Listening. Your band scores are given as whole or half-band scores and are rounded up to the nearest half or whole band score.

For example, if you get a 6.5 in Reading, 5 in Writing, 7 in Speaking, and 6.5 in Listening, the average of these 4 scores would be 6.25. This score would be rounded up to 6.5 for your overall band score.

Difference between band score and raw score

The Listening and Reading will be scored out of 40 and then converted  to a  band score which ranges  from  band 1  to  band 9.

The Listening and Reading tests contain 40 questions and each correct question will be awarded 1 mark (so the maximum a test  taker can score here is 40).  Band scores, ranging from band 1 to band 9, are  awarded based on the raw scores.  

Review of IELTS band scores

If you are not happy with your band score, you can ask for a review of the band scores (called an Enquiry on Results).

However, the review request must be sumbitted at your test centre within six weeks of the test date.

You must pay an enquiry fee, which will be fully refunded if your band score changes. 

Further, if your band score changes, you will be issued a new Test Report Form (TRF).

Online STUDY Material for JEE Main Preparation

The NTA portal has a YOUTUBE channel – 

https://www.youtube.com/@NationalTestingAgency/videos.

But unfortunately, it doesn’t have any exam preparation material.

So, if you are looking for online, or more precisely, youtube study material, here are some guide as to how to go about it:

  1. There are many youtube channels that explain various JEE Main concepts
  2. But the problem is how to choose between them and verify what they are teaching is authentic or not?
  3. To address this problem, first check the subscriber count of the channel. If the subscriber base is large, chances are the channel is a genuine one. Next, check who is the person or agent running the channel. Also, check the age of the channel. If the channel is in existence for a few years, and has been publishing content on a regular basis, such content more or less is user certified. Finally, check the comments. Typically, exam content should invite a lot of comments. Read the comments and see what the viewers are saying. Are they finding fault in his content or his presentation, or are they praising the channel. If all appears good, and you also like the content, you can consult such channels for preparation.
