Does IMT Nagpur have a fixed cutoff?
No. IMT Nagpur's official FAQ says there is no pre-decided cutoff. Admission is based on a consolidated assessment of entrance score, academics, work experience/profile and PI.
Therefore, a webpage showing one number as the “official IMT Nagpur cutoff 2026” is misleading unless it clearly identifies the number as a historical or third-party reference.

IMT Nagpur cutoff by exam
| Exam | Historical stopping/reference | Official caveat |
|---|---|---|
| CAT | 75 percentile | No pre-decided cutoff |
| XAT | 75 percentile | No pre-decided cutoff |
| CMAT | 90+ percentile | No pre-decided cutoff |
| GMAT | 550 | No pre-decided cutoff |
The 75/90+/550 values come from IMT Nagpur's official admissions FAQ as historical stopping points, not current guaranteed cutoffs.
What percentile should you target?
Do not prepare for the minimum. A higher score gives you more buffer because IMT Nagpur considers more than the entrance exam.
| Profile | Practical target strategy |
|---|---|
| Strong academics + work experience | Target materially above 75 CAT/XAT so the test score strengthens an already good profile. |
| Fresher / average academics | Aim higher than the historical threshold to reduce profile risk. |
| CMAT route | Aim comfortably above the 90+ historical stopping point. |
| GMAT route | Treat 550 as a historical floor reference, not a safe score. |
What happens after meeting the cutoff?
Meeting a historical cutoff does not guarantee admission. IMT Nagpur evaluates the broader profile and admission-process performance. Prepare for questions around academics, current affairs, business awareness, career goals, work experience and why you want a particular PGDM route.
