IIM Visakhapatnam, like most B-schools in India, sets minimum criteria for admission based on the percentage scored in 10th, 12th, and graduation. The criteria for admission at IIM Visakhapatnam are not as stringent as some of the older IIMs, and generally, a score of above 60% in 10th, 12th, and graduation would make one eligible for admission at the institute. However, it's important to note that the institute may have different requirements and cutoffs for different programs, and it's best to check the official website or contact the institute directly for the most up-to-date and accurate information on their admission criteria. Additionally, while meeting the minimum eligibility criteria is important, it is not the only factor that is considered during the admission process, other factors such as work experience, entrance exam scores, and personal interviews are also considered.

The CAT score, in addition to being a selection criterion, is also used to establish the minimum level of proficiency that is expected from the candidate in respective areas as indicated by section-wise minimum scores in the CAT.
