As far as the cut-offs are concerned IMI Kolkata believes in the overall evaluation of a candidate and hence there is no particular cut-off set by them. An individual with a higher CAT percentage but with a low academic and co-curricular profile might not be able to make it to the institute, whereas a person with a comparatively lower CAT percentage with a better profile may be able to make it.

It also varies on how you portray yourself in the interview as well as other rounds that are required for the admission process. As mentioned above IMI Kolkata judges a candidate on each and every aspect. However, if you do have your CAT percentage less than 60 percent than your chances are quite less, but one should still try to submit.

The usual CAT cut off for IMI Kolkata is 80+ percentile. Try to score at least 65 percent in CAT if you want a fair chance to get into this institute.

It is important to note that when it comes to placements in tier 3 B-schools, the job profiles offered are generally similar, with a focus on sales. However, the location of the B-school can have a significant impact on the placement opportunities available to students.

In cities where there are multiple B-schools located, such as Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Mumbai, competition between schools can be high, which affects the placements available to students. In contrast, schools located in cities without significant competition, such as IMI Kolkata and IMI Bhubaneshwar, may provide more reliable and decent placement opportunities.
