No CAT percentile is not required for getting admitted to these colleges.
These colleges conduct their respective exams i.e , NMAT and SNAP which do not consider CAT scores.
In fact NMAT is conducted much before CAT and opens its window thrice for you to give exam.
Overall cutoff for full time MBA program /MBA banking / MBA Capital Market/ MBA HR in NMIMS is around 205 score out of 360,
For MBA in pharmaceutical (NMIMS) , cutoff is around 170 out of 360
And for PGDM in Bangalore and Hyderabad, cutoff is around 200 out of 360 (NMIMS)
For SNAP, different colleges affiliated consider slightly different percentiles. Here's a rough estimate:
* SIBM (Pune) : 98+ percentile
*SCHMRD (Pune): 97+ percentile
*SIIB (Pune): 93+ percentile
*SIBM (Bangalore): 90+ percentile
It's good that you have targeted your colleges.
Stay focused and do well.
All the best!!
