58 percentile might be tad less. We shall explain this by taking NIT Trichy into consideration. The CAT cut off for NIT Trichy is usually around 80 percentile and more. Though the cut offs change every year based on various factors, even for Reserved Categories like SC/ST, the minimum required percentile is 65 and above. Apart from the CAT score, to be eligible for NIT Trichy, you should fulfil the following criteria:

  • Should have completed Bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognised University.
  • Should have secured atleast 6.5 CGPA on a scale of 10 or 60% for General Category/OBC/EWS/ It is 6.0 CGPA or 55% in case of SC/ST Candidates.
  • The CGPA or aggregate should be based on all semesters
  • Those in their final year and awaiting their results should submit Provisional certificate

The shortlisted Candidates will be invited for Group Discussion and Personal Interview. So with a percentile of 58, you might be a little short for being shortlisted for NIT Trichy. You might have to try other B -Schools. Please use our CAT College predictor to check your chances: https://bschool.careers360.com/pathfinder/cat

Dear aspirant,

According to your question and taking into consideration that you want to know about what marks a candidate should score in order to get iit or nit for mba.

I would like tell you that taking your percentile into consideration there is no chance to get into the top IITs like kgp,bombay,delhi as the minimum percentile to clear the cut off is generally 75 percentile and may be you can try for some lower nits.
