How much minimum CAT percentile do I need to get IIM Calcutta or IIM Lucknow if I have Xth 93, XIIth 73, and BTech 70, without any work experience?

IIM Calcutta distributes its components and assigns weights to them in order to generate category-wise shortlists for the PI and WAT stages.

(A/B)*28 is the formula for calculating cat percentile weight.

• A = Total CAT score of the candidate
• B = CAT Maximum Score

To be on the safe side, you should score higher than the 99.7 percentile.

The following are the IIM Lucknow criteria for GD-PI shortlisting:

Given your academic credentials, 98.7+ can get you the call. (85th percentile for sectional cutoff)
