Dear Aspirant,

Hope you are doing fine! Below are the categories who get benefits of reservation in CAT -

  • As per the Government of India requirements, 15% of the seats are reserved for Scheduled Caste (SC) and 7.5% for Scheduled Tribe (ST) candidates. 27% of seats are reserved for Other Backward Classes candidates belonging to the non - creamy layer (NC - OBC).

To avail the reservation benefits one must upload the catagory certificate at the time of CAT registration. In case of other mba colleges you might get chance to apply separately as many mba colleges take separate applications for admission after cat exam. But in case of IIMs candidates will be shortlisted for interview based on their application while registration for cat, during the selection process they need to produce the documents for verification. But in your case if you have not attached catagory certificate at the time of CAT registration you will be shortlisted as per general cutoff. Below I have provided you previous year cutoff for different IIMs.

  • IIM Ahmedabad - 85 percentile
  • IIM Bangalore - 85 percentile
  • IIM Calcutta - 85 percentile
  • IIM Lucknow - 90 percentile
  • IIM Indore - 90 percentile
  • IIM Kozhikode - 85 percentile
  • IIM Amritsar - 85 percentile
  • IIM Nagpur - 85 percentile
  • IIM Sambalpur - 93 percentile
  • IIM Trichy - 93 percentile
  • IIM Raipur - 93 percentile
  • IIM Ranchi - 93 percentile
  • IIM Kashipur - 94 percentile
  • IIM Vizag - 80 percentile
  • IIM Udaipur - 93 percentile
  • IIM Bodhgaya - 93 percentile
  • IIM Shillong - 75 percentile
  • IIM Sirmaur - 93 percentile
  • IIM Rohtak - 95 percentile
  • IIM Nagpur - 85 percentile
  • IIM Jammu - 93 percentile


All the best :)
