IMT Nagpur MBA Cutoff

The institute doesn’t declare its minimum cutoff percentile. However, as per the official sources, the institute has closed its admission at 75 percentile for CAT/XAT and 90+ percentile for CMAT in 2024. IMT Nagpur Cutoff for reserved category candidates is typically lower than that of General Category candidates.

  • Example A: A general-category candidate with CAT 91 percentile, 2 years’ experience and 75% graduation marks receives a shortlist and converts after strong PI/GD performance.
  • Example B: An NC-OBC candidate with CAT 82 percentile and solid interview score secures admission due to category relaxation and a balanced profile.

Tip: Aim for CAT percentile ≥90 (general) or CMAT ≥85 to be safely competitive for IMT Nagpur; lower percentiles may work with exceptional profiles and strong performance in post-shortlist rounds.
