What Percentile Do You Need for MDI Gurgaon?
You need a CAT percentile of about 95 or more to be a safe candidate for the PGDM at MDI Gurgaon. MDI checks your overall score and every section. It then adds academics, diversity and work experience, so the MDI Gurgaon admission cutoff is only the first filter.
Can I Get MDI Gurgaon With 90 Percentile?
Possibly, but it is a risk. A 90 percentile matches only the MDI Gurgaon cutoff of 2023, two cycles ago, and it is below the 2025 figure of 94.5, so your shortlist depends on the rest of your profile. Apply to other colleges as well. MDI allows several of its programmes in one form.

What Are the MDI Gurgaon Cutoff Marks in CAT?
MDI Gurgaon cutoff marks are given as a percentile, not as raw marks. CAT scores are scaled for each slot, so raw marks do not compare across years. Read your overall and sectional percentiles on the CAT scorecard and compare them with the MDI Gurgaon cutoff. The MDI Gurgaon cutoff marks 2026 will also be a percentile.
MDI Gurgaon Section-Wise CAT Cutoff 2026
MDI Gurgaon looks at your overall score and each CAT section, but it does not publish the sectional numbers. Its admissions FAQ says it considers the aggregate and all sectional cut-offs when it shortlists for WAT, GD and PI. So the MDI Gurgaon CAT cutoff 2026 has a sectional layer that you cannot see in advance.
| What the MDI Gurgaon cutoff covers | Published figure | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Overall CAT percentile | 94.5 (2025) | Aim for 95 or more |
| VARC, DILR and QA each | Not published | Keep each close to your overall |
| QA and DILR (PGDM-BFS only) | Counts 2.5% at Stage II | Prepare these two well |
Does MDI Gurgaon Have a Sectional Cutoff?
Yes, the MDI Gurgaon CAT cut off has a sectional part, but MDI does not print the values.
A Low Section Can End Your Shortlist
A very low score in one section can end your shortlist even with a high overall percentile. Treat a gap of 15 or more percentile points between sections as a risk. This is a safe planning rule and not an MDI number.
MDI Gurgaon Category-Wise Cutoff 2026
There is no MDI Gurgaon category wise cutoff for General, OBC, SC, ST or EWS candidates. The mandatory disclosure lists one CAT figure for all applicants. The PGDM admission page shows no category table and no seat matrix. So no MDI Gurgaon category wise cutoff can be read from any official page.
Is There a Lower MDI Gurgaon Category Wise Cut Off for SC, ST or OBC?
MDI prints no lower figure, so no MDI Gurgaon category wise cut off exists for SC, ST or OBC. The AICTE approval letter of 30 April 2026 says the reservation policy of the Central or State government applies. In its NIRF data for 2024-25, MDI reported 14 SC, ST and OBC students and 56 economically backward students among 1,166.

Is There an MDI Gurgaon Course Wise Cutoff?
No, there is no separate MDI Gurgaon course wise cutoff, because one figure of 94.5 covers four programmes. So the MDI Gurgaon course wise cut off is a single number. Competition still differs. The PGDM admitted 358 students plus 6 fee-waiver students in 2025, while PGDM-IB admitted 100.
MDI Gurgaon Expected Cutoff 2026
The MDI Gurgaon expected cutoff for CAT 2026 is an overall percentile of about 95 to 96 for the PGDM. This MDI Gurgaon cutoff estimate is not an MDI figure. It follows the rising trend of 90, 92 and 94.5. It also sits just below the batch averages of 96 and 97.
| Your overall percentile | What it means | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| 97 and above | Strong for the PGDM | Matches the 2025-27 batch average |
| 94.5 to 96 | Competitive | Near the 2025 MDI Gurgaon cutoff and the 2024-26 average |
| 90 to 94 | Uncertain | Below the 2025 cutoff, above the 2023 cutoff |
| Below 90 | Unlikely | Below every published cutoff |
Will the MDI Gurgaon Expected Cutoff Go Up in 2026?
It may, if applications keep growing at the 2023 to 2025 pace. A harder or easier CAT paper also moves the percentile. Treat the MDI Gurgaon expected cut off as a range and check it again after the CAT 2026 result. The MDI Gurgaon expected cutoff will not change what MDI publishes, which is one number a year.
Factors Affecting MDI Gurgaon Cutoff

- Work experience: it carries 10% at both stages.
- Diversity: gender and academic background carry 5% each at Stage I.
- Academics: Class 10, Class 12 and graduation carry 5% each at Stage I. They shape your score and do not change the MDI Gurgaon cutoff.
