Hi aspirant,

As of the CAT 2024 exam for the MBA class of 2025-2027 at IIM Mumbai, the NC-OBC (Non-Creamy Other Backward Classes) category requires an overall percentile of 75.

It is essential to understand that these are the minimal qualifying percentiles required to go to the next level, the Personal Interview (PI). The actual cutoffs for receiving a PI call may be much higher, depending on the number of candidates, their profiles, and IIM Mumbai's special admission requirements for the year.

A higher score will considerably improve your chances of being shortlisted for the PI process.

For IIM Mumbai, OBC candidates generally need a CAT percentile around 90-98% to increase their chances of getting a call. While the overall percentile is important, sectional cutoffs also play a role, with a recommendation to aim for at least 97% in each section. Getting a call from IIM Mumbai depends on a combination of CAT score, academic profile (10th, 12th, and graduation), extracurricular achievements, and potential for diversity within the batch.

Overall CAT Percentile:

Aim for a minimum of 90% for OBC candidates, but ideally 98% or higher for IIM Mumbai.

Sectional Cutoffs:

While the overall percentile is key, IIM Mumbai also considers sectional scores. Aim for at least 97% in each section.

Other Factors:

IIM Mumbai also evaluates academic records (10th, 12th, and graduation), extracurricular activities, and the potential to add diversity to the batch.
