Hii,

The Selection procedure varies from One IIM to  another IIM. Generally one need to have minimum 90 percentile in each sections and overall 90 percentile to get into IIM's. Yes, Every IIM considers Sectional Score as well as Overall Score. But if you want to get into older IIM's like IIM- A,B,C , you must get percentile above 95.

Hello Ashitha

It varies from institute to institute. Different colleges keep different sectional and overall cutoffs.

For instance IIMA has kept sectional at 70 and overall at 80 for general category admissions

Cutoff generally depends on the number of candidates and how they perform in each of the sections and also on individual IIMs and colleges.

For instance, IIMB has a min 90%ile as cutoff for the QA section. Similarly, IIML has 85%ile as cutoff for all three sections and IIMA has 70%ile cutoff as minimum for all three sections!

IIM Jammu, Nagpur, Amritsar have lesser cutoffs than these

Hello,

Yes there is a cutoff in CAT Exam for IIMs. The cutoff vary for different IIMs and other than the CAT cutoff there are other selection criteria too. You can refer to this link for previous years cutoffs and trends for more information. https://bschool.careers360.com/articles/cat-cutoff
