IIM BLACKISM CAT Cut offs | RTI Data | IIM A B C Selection How to get into older IIMs

Hello Everyone, Welcome to the CATKing Channel! In this video Sumit sir answers the one question that keeps thousands of CAT aspirants awake: what is the lowest CAT percentile that actually gets you into IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore or Calcutta? Our mentor opens the RTI data we filed directly with the IIMs, category by category, so you stop guessing and start preparing against a real target. You will see the last person admitted into every major IIM in the general category, the average and highest placement figures for 2026, and the safe score bands for engineers, non engineers, women candidates and work experience profiles. Topics Covered • Last person to enter IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta and the other older IIMs in the general category • Why IIM Bangalore calls candidates at 96 to 97 percentile when work experience is strong • Average and highest placement packages across IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Indore, Lucknow and Kozhikode • Who the lower percentile admits actually are: women candidates, work experience profiles and non engineering graduates • Composite score, 10th, 12th and graduation weightage in the IIM A B C selection criteria • Safe CAT percentile for engineers, non engineers and freshers in General, NC OBC, SC, ST and EWS • SC, ST, NC OBC and EWS last person to enter data for every IIM from our RTI filing Key Takeaways • IIM Ahmedabad admitted its last general candidate at 90.98 percentile and IIM Bangalore at 95.45 percentile. The gap between them is profile, not luck. • IIM Calcutta did not disclose its data. Never read a missing number as a low cut off. • Work experience moves your IIM Bangalore call by 3 to 5 percentile. Two years in a good role is worth more than two extra percentile points. • Composite score decides the call. 10th and 12th marks still count at most IIMs, even though Lucknow and Calcutta have relaxed graduation weightage. • A topper gives 30 mocks minimum and analyses every one. Ten mocks in November is the floor, not the target. Questions Answered • What is a safe CAT percentile for IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Calcutta? • What percentile did the last general category candidate have at IIM A, B and C? • Is 90 percentile enough for IIM Ahmedabad? • How much does work experience matter for an IIM call? • What are the IIM cut offs for NC OBC, SC, ST and EWS categories? • How many mocks should I take in the last two months of CAT preparation? • How many hours should I study daily for CAT 2026? Memorable Insight The goal post keeps moving. Aim for the moon, and if you must settle, settle for the stars. Do not postpone your happiness until the result.
