IIM Mumbai Cutoff 2026

The IIM Mumbai cutoff works as two bars, a published minimum and an unpublished real cutoff. First you must clear the minimum overall and section percentiles for your category. This is the IIM Mumbai admission cutoff at Stage I. Then IIM Mumbai calls candidates for the interview in order of CAT score within each category. The policy says the real IIM Mumbai cut off depends on the number of candidates called in each category.

The cards show the IIM Mumbai cutoff at Stage I for every category. You must meet the overall figure and all three section figures.

CAT 2026 is on 29 November 2026, and the result is likely in January 2027, as per iimcat.ac.in. IIM Mumbai has not published its policy for Batch 2027-29, so no IIM Mumbai cutoff for that batch exists yet.

Is the IIM Mumbai Cutoff for CAT 2026 Out?

No. The IIM Mumbai cutoff 2026 for the CAT 2026 cycle comes with the Batch 2027-29 admission policy, which is not out yet. The latest published IIM Mumbai CAT cutoff is the Batch 2026-28 minimums on this page. Use them as the previous year cutoff guide until the new policy arrives. Check the IIM Mumbai admissions page after the CAT result.

The IIM Mumbai cutoff 2026 is best read from the Batch 2026-28 policy, which sets 85 overall percentile for the General category. The policy calls this Stage I, and this IIM Mumbai cutoff is the entry gate for CAT 2026 candidates too. The policy adds that meeting the minimum does not ensure shortlisting. CAT reports percentile, not raw marks, so there is no IIM Mumbai cutoff marks figure to chase. The steps show where the cutoff sits in the process.

At What Percentile Will I Get IIM Mumbai?

You clear Stage I with 85 overall as a General candidate, and the cards above show the other categories. A call needs more than the minimum, because the real IIM Mumbai cutoff for an interview can be much higher. Aim well above the IIM Mumbai cutoff at Stage I.

What Was the IIM Mumbai Previous Year Cutoff?

The IIM Mumbai previous year cutoff is the Batch 2026-28 minimums, which used CAT 2025 scores. The institute did not publish the real call cutoffs for that cycle. The admissions page for the 2025 cycle showed MBA and MBA-OSCM Wait List 6 and MBA-SM Wait List 7. So IIM Mumbai ran several wait-list rounds in that cycle, and the previous year cutoff trail ends there.

The IIM Mumbai category wise cutoff is lower for reserved categories, and the gap from General grows with each category. The figures below show the gap in overall percentile points.

Is There a Separate IIM Mumbai Course Wise Cutoff?

No. The same Stage I table applies to the MBA, MBA-OSCM and MBA-SM, so the IIM Mumbai course wise cutoff is one set of minimums. MBA-OSCM adds a degree rule, because it is open to engineers and a short list of maths and economics degrees. The IIM Mumbai cutoff course wise for a General candidate is 85 for all three, and the category wise cutoff follows the table.

Will a 75 Percentile Get You into IIM Mumbai?

Only as an NC-OBC or EWS candidate, and only for Stage I. A General candidate with 75 overall does not clear the 85 minimum. An NC-OBC or EWS candidate with 75 overall must still clear the three section minimums in the cards. Even then, the interview call is not certain.

IIM Mumbai gives no expected cutoff figure, so the safest plan is to aim well above the Stage I minimum. Any IIM Mumbai expected cutoff for CAT 2026 is only an estimate. It depends on the calls the institute makes. The wait lists of the previous cycle are the only signal on depth for the IIM Mumbai cutoff. Use them with the previous year cutoff minimums, and not as a score.

Can I Get IIM Mumbai with 97 Percentile?

A 97 overall percentile is above the overall minimum for every category, and you must also meet the section minimums. The call and the final offer still depend on the number of calls in your category and your composite score. Read the admission page for the score weights. A strong score still depends on the IIM Mumbai cutoff in your category. Treat 97 as a strong score and not a promise. Any IIM Mumbai expected cutoff you see for CAT 2026 should be read the same way.
