What is the KJ Somaiya MBA Cutoff?
KJSIM's current 2027-29 admission page states that merit-based candidates are shortlisted by meeting or exceeding the institute's cutoffs for accepted entrance exams. It does not publish a single fixed numeric CAT/XAT/NMAT/CMAT/GMAT cutoff on the page reviewed.
Do not use an unofficial percentile as the official cutoff
Coaching-site estimates can be useful for planning, but they should not be presented as KJSIM's official cutoff unless the institute publishes that number.
