Hello aspirant,
Cut off of a specific college can differ every year. It depends upon various factors such as total number of aspirants, highest scorer, number of seats, difficulty level.
If we take previous year records , the expected cut-off of CAT for Great lakes was 80% and of CMAT was 85-90%.
Hope this help!
Hello!Can I Know About the Weight age given for Academics?
Hello,
Please mention about which stream you want to know.
If you are asking in general then it is just a bar which is kept as eligibility criteria by college , institutes and organizations for selection or admission. So it is important to score above 60% which is quite stable and makes easy to go through the process. There are institutes like IIT and NIT where you can take admission only if you have 75% in 12th
Many MNCs hire candidates with eligibility criteria above 65 -75 also.
But there are many other option also where your skills will be considered over your academics score.
Hope it helps!
Thanks

ive secured 91.32 percentile in cmat with 8months of work ex and 64.5%in gradution(b.tech: mechanical). would i get a call from greatlakes?
Hello Rohan,
Firstly, congratulations for such a good percentile.
Now at Great Lakes, there is no fixed cutoffs and any minimum scores are decided on after the completion of the application process and review of the overall applicant pool as along with candidates cut off also varies every year.
Evaluation of candidates is done in a holistic manner and not just rely on aptitude score. Applicants are evaluated based on GMAT/CAT/XAT/CMAT scores, past academic performance, essays, work experience (if any) and performance in the interview. The selection process builds on a criterion that facilitates evaluating each applicant on Academic Abilities, Standardized Test Scores, Leadership and Interpersonal Skills, Integrity & Ethical Values and Diversity of Background.
So while the test scores are important, they emphasize more on selecting well-rounded candidates with a strong overall track record.
Though 91.32 percentile is a good score to get admission if you have a good profile along with it.
Apart from this as per your percentile you can apply to various good B-schools. Few of them are :
JBIMS Mumbai: Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies
SIMSREE Mumbai: Sydenham Institute of Management Studies And Research And Entrepreneurship Education
GIM Goa: Goa Institute of Management
SIMSR Mumbai: K J Somaiya Institute of Management Studies And Research
