What is the CAT cutoff for IIM Kozhikode?

Question

Well, getting into IIM Kozhikode depends on a bunch of things, and the CAT cutoff can change every year. Your past grades and any work experience you have also play a big role, so make sure those are solid.

Generally, you'll need a bachelor's degree with at least 50% marks from a recognized college.

Here’s a quick rundown:

If you're a male engineer in the general category, aim for a 99 percentile in CAT. Your performance in the Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds matters too.
If you're a non-engineer in the general category or a female engineer, a 96 percentile might do the trick, but you'll still need good grades and work experience. Again, nail those WAT-PI rounds.
If you belong to a reserved category, a 92 percentile could get you a call.
If you have a CA or CFA, there are some relaxations. A 95 percentile with a decent academic record might work.

Keep in mind that these are just estimates. The actual cutoff and how the college ranks candidates can vary. Also, you'll need to clear the sectional cutoffs in CAT to be considered.

For the most accurate info, check out the official IIM Kozhikode website, especially the Stage 1 shortlist section. But honestly, just try to score as high as possible in CAT and prep well for your interviews. Good luck!

Its a Question about your future!
