For OBC candidates the minimum overall percentile required in CAT is 75 with the sectional cutoffs being 65 in each section. But you should score 80-85 percentile in order to be on the safer side as IIMs do a very rigorous shortlisting based on the profile, candidate's CAT percentile and extra curricular achievements.

All the very best

Sampriti Gupta Hi Sampriti,

Is your recommendation of 80-85 percentile...more of a guesstimate .......or is it that you had seen someone getting a call at that percentile in the last couple of years ?
