IIM Bangalore accepts students based on their CAT scores, Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI)

CAT scores are 40-60% of the final weightage; the Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) are equally critical.

As CAT score is primary shortlisting criteria, you need to score a high percentile in the Common Entrance Exam (CAT).

For General Category 99+ CAT percentile is usually needed for an interview call, however exceptional profiles may qualify with slightly lower scores.

The cutoffs are relatively lower for reserved category, ranging from 90 to 97 percentile, depending on the category.
