MBA CUTOFFS

Find MBA Colleges You Can Target at Your Percentile

Choose CAT, XAT, SNAP, CMAT, MAT or NMAT, enter a percentile from 75 to 100, and see researched college thresholds that your score meets.

What this tool does: It compares your overall percentile with researched college-level cutoff thresholds. It is a shortlist filter, not an admission predictor. A higher actual shortlist threshold, sectional cutoff, academic profile, work experience or interview performance can still affect your result.
Enter your exam and percentile
Results are matched against the cutoff dataset maintained for this portal. The minimum input is intentionally 75 percentile so the tool focuses on colleges with a meaningful 75+ threshold.
Use your overall percentile. Sectional cutoffs are not checked here. For NMAT, the displayed percentile is based on the current GMAC score-to-percentile table where a college's published/expected threshold is score-based.

Colleges You Can Target


How to read these results

01 · Your percentile meets the listed threshold

If your percentile is equal to or higher than the stored threshold, that college appears in the result set.

02 · Official vs expected is shown

Each card labels whether the threshold is an official institute cutoff, an expected/indicative figure, or a score-converted threshold.

03 · Always verify before applying

Cutoffs can change by programme, category, year and applicant pool. Open the college page and source before making a shortlist.


Research methodology

The dataset prioritises institute admission policies and cutoff announcements. Where institutes do not publish a fixed percentile, the tool uses a clearly labelled expected/indicative threshold from current 2026 cutoff research. We do not present those estimates as official cutoffs.

Important before you shortlist

75 percentile is the floor of this tool, not a promise. A result means only that your entered percentile meets the stored overall threshold. It does not mean you will receive a call or convert the programme. Check the college's current admission notice, sectional requirements, eligibility, academics, work-experience rules and selection process before applying.

Student FAQs

Can I use this tool below 75 percentile?

No. This version intentionally starts at 75 because the goal is to compare 75+ cutoff opportunities rather than create a broad low-cutoff directory.

Why does the same college appear more than once?

A college can have different cutoffs for different programmes, so programme-specific rows are kept separate where the source provides them.

Why are some cutoffs marked expected?

Many institutes do not publish a fixed percentile before the admission cycle. Those rows are shown as expected/indicative rather than being presented as official.

Why is NMAT different?

NMAT institutes frequently publish score thresholds. The tool converts those scores to the current GMAC percentile-ranking reference so you can still use one percentile filter across exams.

Editorial rule: We will not turn an estimate into an “official cutoff”. Every result carries its research status and a source link.
