Write to the admissions office at pgpadmission@iimbg.ac.in for the latest figures.

How Should You Plan if Your Score Is Near the Bar?

Check your profile points first. Class 10, Class 12, graduation marks and work experience earn points after the bar. A score near the bar can still work if the rest of your profile is strong.

Factors Affecting IIM Bodh Gaya Cutoff

Four things move the IIM Bodh Gaya cutoff each year: the CAT paper, the number of applicants, the intake and your profile. Any of them can move the IIM Bodh Gaya cutoff in practice.
