Shortlisted for the interview, or still deciding whether to even apply? Here’s everything IIM Udaipur actually asks for \u2014 no guesswork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IIM Udaipur has quietly become one of the most sought-after “new IIMs,” pulling a general-category cutoff in the 94\u201395 percentile range and placement averages that now rival several older IIMs. This guide covers the exact cutoff (qualifying vs. final), how the admission composite is weighted, fees, placement data, and how it stacks up against IIM Rohtak and IIM Trichy \u2014 the two institutes it’s most often compared with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last updated<\/strong>: September 2026 \u00b7 Compiled by the CATMock team from IIM Udaipur’s published selection criteria, RTI-disclosed cutoff data (2019\u20132026), and NIRF 2025 rankings.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent update:<\/strong> IIM Udaipur is currently ranked 6th among IIMs in the QS 2025 Global Masters in Management (MIM) rankings and has recently launched a four-year, digital-first BBA programme \u2014 the institute’s first undergraduate offering. Neither of these is reflected in most existing cutoff articles yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IIM Udaipur CAT Cutoff: Qualifying vs. Final Admission<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is where most cutoff articles get vague, so let’s be precise. There are actually two different cutoffs<\/strong> you need to track:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Qualifying cutoff<\/strong> \u2014 the minimum percentile needed just to get a Written Ability Test\/Personal Interview (WAT-PI) call. This is the number most pages quote.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Final admission cutoff<\/strong> \u2014 the actual percentile at which candidates who cleared the interview and got a seat had scored. This typically runs 2\u20135 points higher than the qualifying number, since the final merit list also weighs your composite score against everyone else who got interviewed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Qualifying Cutoff (Overall & Sectional) \u2014 Most Recent Cycle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    Category<\/th>Overall Percentile<\/th>Sectional Percentile (each of VARC, DILR, QA)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
    General<\/td>94<\/td>73\u201375<\/td><\/tr>
    EWS<\/td>81<\/td>55<\/td><\/tr>
    NC-OBC<\/td>81<\/td>52\u201355<\/td><\/tr>
    SC<\/td>66<\/td>40\u201350<\/td><\/tr>
    ST<\/td>42<\/td>30\u201340<\/td><\/tr>
    PwD<\/td>42<\/td>30\u201340<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    If you’re aiming for a genuinely safe shortlisting buffer rather than the bare minimum, most CAT mentors recommend targeting 3\u20135 points above the published qualifying cutoff<\/strong> \u2014 so a General category candidate should realistically aim for 97+ rather than exactly 94.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    IIM Udaipur Cutoff Trend: How It’s Moved Over 6 Years<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    RTI-disclosed data shows the General category cutoff climbing steadily before levelling off in the mid-90s over the last three cycles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Admission Cycle<\/th>General (Overall)<\/th>General (Sectional)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
    2019\u201321<\/td>90<\/td>70<\/td><\/tr>
    2021\u201323<\/td>95<\/td>75<\/td><\/tr>
    2022\u201324<\/td>95<\/td>75<\/td><\/tr>
    2023\u201325<\/td>94<\/td>73<\/td><\/tr>
    2024\u201326<\/td>95<\/td>73<\/td><\/tr>
    2025\u201327<\/td>94<\/td>73<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The takeaway: after a sharp jump between 2019 and 2021, the cutoff has stabilised in a narrow 94\u201395 band. That’s genuinely useful for planning \u2014 you’re not chasing a moving target anymore, just a consistent one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How IIM Udaipur Weighs Your Application<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Clearing the cutoff only gets you an interview call \u2014 it doesn’t decide admission. IIM Udaipur runs its shortlisting and final selection through the Common Admission Process (CAP)<\/strong>, a shared framework several newer IIMs use. If you’re also applying to other CAP-linked institutes, our detailed breakdown of JAP vs. CAP vs. SAP<\/mark><\/a> explains exactly how these overlapping processes affect your interview calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A CAT score just above the qualifying line rarely wins on its own \u2014 a strong graduation percentage and relevant work experience genuinely move the needle within that 20% profile bucket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    IIM Udaipur vs. IIM Rohtak vs. IIM Trichy: How Does It Compare?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    These three institutes sit in a similar percentile band, so most aspirants end up choosing between them. Here’s a direct comparison:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Interestingly, IIM Trichy actually ranks higher on NIRF and asks for a slightly lower cutoff, while IIM Rohtak demands the highest percentile of the three despite a smaller batch size.

    IIM Udaipur Placements: Is the Cutoff Worth It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    For the 2025 batch, IIM Udaipur’s flagship MBA (PGP) recorded a highest package of \u20b947.65 LPA and an average around \u20b917.5\u201318.8 LPA (figures vary slightly by reporting source), with a median close to \u20b917\u201318 LPA. The specialised MBA-GSCM (Global Supply Chain Management) cohort actually out-earned the flagship average, with packages in the \u20b920\u201322 LPA range \u2014 a reflection of strong sector-specific recruiter demand in operations and logistics roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Programme<\/th>Highest Package (2025)<\/th>Average Package (2025)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
    MBA (PGP)<\/td>\u20b947.65 LPA<\/td>\u20b917.5\u201318.8 LPA<\/td><\/tr>

    MBA-DEM<\/td>\u20b932.71 LPA<\/td>\u20b921.7 LPA<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Placement rates have consistently stayed above 95%, with major recruiters spanning BFSI, consulting, IT, FMCG, and manufacturing. Against a total programme fee of roughly \u20b921\u201322.5 Lakh, that placement profile represents a reasonably strong ROI compared to several older IIMs charging similar or higher fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
