Does KJSIM Publish a Fixed CAT or XAT Cutoff?

For the flagship MBA, the institute also describes profile-based shortlisting for candidates with consistent academics, a valid entrance score and 12–42 months of full-time paid work experience after graduation. A predicted percentile from a coaching website is not an official call guarantee.

What Salary Can KJSIM MBA Students Expect After Graduation?
For MBA 2024–26, the official placement highlights report ₹29.30 LPA highest CTC, ₹12 LPA median CTC and 210 recruiters. The highest package is the top outcome, not the salary every student should expect.
The same public placement panel does not provide a comparable overall-batch average CTC, so we do not substitute the highest package or another subgroup figure for an average.
