There are quite a few entrance examinations for admission to MBA across India. For example, IIMs accept only CAT score. And XAT is specifically for XLRI. FMS accepts CAT score. ISB accepts GMAT or GRE. MICAT is specifically for MICA. These are just examples of the types of entrance examinations we have for MBA. And each exam has its own pattern and so the cut off might not be uniform, You cannot compare CAT's score and cut offs with that of XATs. For example,

CAT exam paper can be Categorised into 3 parts:

Quantitative Ability

Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension

Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning

The Verbal Ability section and Reading Comprehension has 34 Questions,  Data interpretation-Logical Reasoning section has 32 MCQ questions and Quantitative Ability has 34 MCQ questions totalling up to 100 questions.  Each Question has 3 marks and a wrong answer takes away 1 mark.

On the other hand, XAT has a different exam pattern altogether. If you look at XAT pattern, it has 2 sections. Part 1 has VAlr, Decision Making, QA DI while Part 2 has General Knowledge. Every correct answer gets you 1 mark and a wrong answer in Part 1 takes away 0.25 in the form of negative marking and there is no negative marking for GK

This is just between CAT and XAT. Then we have GMAT, NMAT, ATMA, SNAP etc. So to generalise the cut offs is not an option. Please visit our page to check the top MBA colleges across India and their entrance exam at: https://bschool.careers360.com/colleges/ranking
