No, it’s difficult to get an IIM call with an 87 percentile. While IIMs release a cutoff below 90, the actual cutoff is much higher. For instance, IIM Ahmedabad announces a cut-off as low as 80 percentile in CAT, but the actual cut-off percentile is higher than 98.
IIMs are the dream B School of many and the first choice of many MBA aspirants. However, not every applicant is able to make it into IIMs due to tough competition and limited seats. The cutoff of top IIMs such as IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Lucknow, etc is around 95 to 100 percentile.
Apart from IIMs, there are many top MBA colleges accepting the 80 percentile in the CAT exam. Some of these are baby IIMs and others are top MBA/PGDM colleges in India. Let’s have a look at these MBA colleges in India.
