The overall cut-off mark for the CAT and for that of different sections is not fixed. We can neither predetermine the pattern nor the sectional cut-offs in CAT. Also, since CAT is a relative test, the cut-offs vary each year. The cut-offs at the IIMs depend on various factors, which vary with IIMs. The thumb rule is 75% attempts with 85% accuracy for sectional cut-offs.CAT 2002 takers were issued a CAT scorecard. Barring a few cases, the scores showed that those securing above 98.5 percentile received calls from the IIMs and they also had more than 94 percentile individually in each of the sections. So we strongly suggest that to get a call, your aim should be to perform well in all sections. |
