It doesn\u2019t make you shortlisted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what is the real <strong>IIM Shillong CAT cutoff<\/strong>? IIM Shillong sets a minimum percentile in each CAT section. It publishes no overall cutoff. And it picks interview calls with a composite score, not one percentile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide covers four years of official cutoff data, how the shortlist formula changed, and what percentile gives you a safe shot. It also <em>covers the flagship two-year PGP. PGPEx and PGP-WE follow separate rules.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">IIM Shillong CAT Cutoff at a Glance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are the minimums for the PGP 2026\u201328 batch (CAT 2025 scores).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Category<\/th><th>VARC<\/th><th>DILR<\/th><th>QA<\/th><th>Overall minimum<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Others (General)<\/td><td>75<\/td><td>75<\/td><td>75<\/td><td>Not published<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>EWS<\/td><td>75<\/td><td>75<\/td><td>75<\/td><td>Not published<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>SC<\/td><td>60<\/td><td>60<\/td><td>60<\/td><td>Not published<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>ST<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>Not published<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>DA (PwD)<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>Not published<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official table has five groups: DA, ST, SC, EWS and Others. It has no separate NC-OBC row. NC-OBC candidates fall under Others, so the 75 minimum applies. Confirm your category on your CAT form and in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iimshillong.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PGP-2026-28-Admission-Process.pdf\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">IIM Shillong\u2019s official PGP 2026\u201328 document<\/mark><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">IIM Shillong Cutoff: Previous Years\u2019 CAT Percentiles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the official sectional minimums for the last four admission cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Batch<\/th><th>CAT year<\/th><th>Others \/ EWS (each section)<\/th><th>SC<\/th><th>ST \/ DA<\/th><th>Overall minimum<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>2023\u201325<\/td><td>CAT 2022<\/td><td>75<\/td><td>60<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>Not published<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2024\u201326<\/td><td>CAT 2023<\/td><td>75<\/td><td>60<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>Not published<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2025\u201327<\/td><td>CAT 2024<\/td><td>75<\/td><td>60<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>Not published<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2026\u201328<\/td><td>CAT 2025<\/td><td>75<\/td><td>60<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>Not published<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source: IIM Shillong\u2019s admission process documents for each batch, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iimshillong.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Admission-Process-PGP23-25.pdf\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">2023\u201325 document<\/mark><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The floor stayed at 75\/60\/50 for four straight cycles. The published cutoff doesn\u2019t move. The call list does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You Need More Than the Cutoff<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clearing the minimum only puts you in the pool. Then the work starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>IIM Shillong ranks everyone by a composite score.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It groups candidates by academic discipline, category and gender.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It calls a fixed number of candidates, which it calls \u201cX\u201d. The institute sets X using overall CAT performance, seat count, expected overlap and past interview attendance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It never publishes X or the composite scores.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why no single \u201ccall percentile\u201d exists. The number shifts every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the IIM Shillong Shortlist Formula Changed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The percentile floor stayed put. The formula around it didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Batch<\/th><th>Shortlist formula<\/th><th>CAT weight in final merit<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>2023\u201325<\/td><td>50% CAT percentile + 50% work experience (both scaled), then GD and PI<\/td><td>30%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2024\u201326<\/td><td>60% CAT percentile + 40% NARS, then PI<\/td><td>40%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2025\u201327<\/td><td>65% CAT percentile + 35% NARS, then PI<\/td><td>40%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2026\u201328<\/td><td>65% CAT percentile + 35% NARS (now includes graduation marks), then PI<\/td><td>40%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>NARS is the Normalised Application Rating Score.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CAT\u2019s weight at the shortlist stage rose from 50% to 65%. Your percentile matters more now than it did in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Percentile Do IIM Shillong Calls Really Need?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IIM Shillong doesn\u2019t say. Third-party trackers do, and they disagree. Treat the table below as a rough guide, not fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Unofficial signal<\/th><th>Reported figure<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>General closing percentile, 2023 to 2025<\/td><td>About 92<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>General closing percentile, 2021 and 2022<\/td><td>About 94<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Lowest admitted General percentile, 2023\u201325 (RTI-based analysis)<\/td><td>About 80<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our guidance, based on this unofficial data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Your overall percentile<\/th><th>What it means<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Any section below 75 (Others\/EWS)<\/td><td>Not eligible for the PI shortlist<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>75 to 85<\/td><td>Eligible. A call depends heavily on your profile.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>85 to 90<\/td><td>Competitive with strong academics and work experience<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>90 and above<\/td><td>Where most unofficial estimates place General calls<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reserved categories compete inside their own pools. The official policy reserves 15% of PI calls for SC, 7.5% for ST and 10% for EWS. Their call percentile can sit lower than General\u2019s. IIM Shillong publishes no figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Your Profile Shifts the Cutoff<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two candidates with the same percentile can land on different sides of the line. NARS explains why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Component (2026\u201328)<\/th><th>Points<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Class X, Class XII or graduation: 95\u2013100%<\/td><td>10 each<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>90\u201394.99%<\/td><td>9 each<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>85\u201389.99%<\/td><td>8 each<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Work experience: 18 to under 24 months<\/td><td>14 (highest)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Work experience: 12 to under 18 months<\/td><td>12<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Work experience: 24 to under 30 months<\/td><td>10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Work experience: under 7 months, or 42+ months<\/td><td>0<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The maximum Application Rating Score is 44. IIM Shillong divides your score by the average of the top 50 applicants\u2019 scores to get NARS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The work-experience peak also moved. In 2025\u201327, 24 to 30 months scored highest. In 2026\u201328, 18 to 24 months does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Sectional Rule That Rejects Strong Scores<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sectional minimums are hard cut-offs. A high overall percentile can\u2019t offset them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Example: you score 96 overall but 74 in DILR. You\u2019re out of the Others\/EWS shortlist. One weak section ends the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Target in CAT 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CAT 2026 is on <strong>29 November 2026<\/strong>. Check dates and notices on <a href=\"https:\/\/iimcat.ac.in\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">iimcat.ac.in<\/mark><\/a>.

SC needs 60. ST and DA need 50. IIM Shillong publishes no overall cutoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is there an overall percentile cutoff at IIM Shillong?<\/strong><br>No. The official table lists only sectional minimums. The shortlist uses a composite score of CAT percentile and NARS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I get IIM Shillong with 85 percentile?<\/strong><br>It\u2019s possible, but not guaranteed. You must clear 75 in each section. After that, your academics, work experience and category pool decide the call. Unofficial data shows some General admits below 90.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is the IIM Shillong sectional cutoff for NC-OBC?<\/strong><br>The official table has no separate NC-OBC row. NC-OBC candidates fall under Others, which means 75 in each section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Has the IIM Shillong cutoff increased or decreased?<\/strong><br>The official sectional minimums haven\u2019t changed across the last four cycles. What changed is the shortlist formula, where CAT\u2019s weight rose from 50% to 65%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Will the IIM Shillong cutoff change for CAT 2026?<\/strong><br>IIM Shillong hasn\u2019t released its PGP 2027\u201329 document yet. It reserves the right to change criteria, so check its official page after the CAT 2026 result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I get a call with 75 in two sections and 74 in one?<\/strong><br>No. For Others and EWS, every section needs at least 75.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>IIM Shillong CAT cutoff<\/strong> is a floor, not a target. Clear 75 in every section, then aim for 90 overall to stay safe. Build your plan around your weakest section, because it decides your eligibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You May Also Like :\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.catmock.com\/\">CAT MOCK<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.catmock.com\/pyq\/cat\/2017\">CAT MOCK PYQ<\/a><\/strong><br>Follow Us On :\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/catmock.in?mibextid=ZbWKwL\"><strong>Facebook<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/cat.mock\">Instagram<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@CATMock\"><strong>Youtube<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last updated: 15 October 2026 | Facts checked against IIM Shillong\u2019s official admission process documents 75 percentile makes you eligible for IIM Shillong.
