The Indian Institute Of Management Indore (IIM Indore) has announced its MBA admission criteria for 2025. The CAT 2024 cut-off for the general category remains at 90 percentile, the same as the last three years. However, the cut-off for Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) candidates has been lowered by 5 percentile points this year.
According to the 2025 admission policy, CAT 2024 sectional scores will carry a 40% weightage. The final selection will consider the CAT 2024 score, Personal Interview (PI), academic performance, and diversity factors.
Eligibility Criteria
Bachelor’s degree with 50% marks (General/EWS/NC-OBC) or 45% (SC/ST/PwD).
The degree must be from a recognized university or institution under the UGC Act or equivalent.
If the college does not provide a CGPA-to-marks conversion system, IIM Indore will calculate equivalency by dividing the CGPA by the maximum CGPA and multiplying it by 100.
Final-year students granted provisional admission must submit their final year mark sheet and degree certificate by June 30, 2025.
