With more focus on securing a high percentile there are various impacts of this change. Check the details here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-high-competition-among-aspirants-few-will-meet-the-qualifying-cutoff\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"High_Competition_Among_Aspirants_Few_Will_Meet_the_Qualifying_Cutoff\"><\/span><strong>High Competition Among Aspirants, Few Will Meet the Qualifying Cutoff<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As the cutoff has increased there will be more competition amongst CAT aspirants as students will now aim to score more percentile. As the qualifying CAT cutoff of IIM Ahmedabad has increased the number of shortlisted candidates will decrease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-relaxation-to-gem-profiles\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Relaxation_to_GEM_Profiles\"><\/span><strong>Relaxation to GEM Profiles<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier GEM profiles even after having a 99+ percentile in CAT could not make it to IIM Ahmedabad as they did not have a good profile. But now with the increased CAT cutoff their chances of getting admission will increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-more-advantage-to-candidates-with-good-profile\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"No_More_Advantage_to_Candidates_With_Good_Profile\"><\/span><strong>No More Advantage to Candidates With Good Profile<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier students with a good profile and a bit less percentile ranging between 88-90 percentile could make it to IIM A but now inspite of having a good profile they have to secure a high percentile in CAT. Earlier a good profile had a prominent weightage in the final selection at IIM Ahmedabad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-less-relaxation-to-the-reserved-category\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Less_Relaxation_to_the_Reserved_Category\"><\/span><strong>Less Relaxation to the Reserved Category<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>IIM Ahmedabad cutoff for reserved category has also increased. Therefore, the competition amongst the reserved category will also increase. This means more meritorious candidates will be shortlisted. IIM Ahmedabad CAT cutoff for OBC is 90, SC is 85 and ST is 75.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sectionals-are-more-important-now\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sectionals_Are_More_Important_Now\"><\/span><strong>Sectionals Are More Important Now<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As the sectional cutoff has also increased, CAT aspirants now have to prepare more strategically for each section. They have to ensure that they are well prepared for each section. For general category if a candidate scores less than 85 percentile in any of the sections then he\/she automatically will get rejected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-competition-will-be-less-in-interview\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Competition_Will_be_Less_in_Interview\"><\/span><strong>Competition Will be Less in Interview<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As there will be less students who will meet the qualifying cutoff as the cutoff has increased the competition in the final interview will be less.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-academic-diversity\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Academic_Diversity\"><\/span><strong>Academic Diversity<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier academic diversity was a main focus but this will get impacted as even a candidates from arts, fashion, etc. background will now have to secure a high percentile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-iim-ahmedabad-cat-cutoff-conclusion\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IIM_Ahmedabad_CAT_Cutoff_Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>IIM Ahmedabad CAT Cutoff: Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The sudden increase in the IIM Ahmedabad cutoff 2025 has made a major shift in the IIM Admission process. Whereas earlier candidates with the strong professional profiles or academic background secure a call from IIM Ahmedabad with slightly lower percentiles, but the new IIM Ahmedabad cutoff somehow emphasizes students or working professionals high CAT scores over profile benefits. With the EWS\/General cutoff now at 95 percentile and sectional cutoffs also rising or varying from the previous year, aspirants must focus on balanced preparation strategy across all the three sections.<br><br>For the reserved category candidates, the rise in IIM Ahmedabad cutoffs indicates higher and healthy competition. So, overall only the most well prepared students with consistent efforts have the strong performance that will be good or clear to qualify the bar for IIM Ahmedabad this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/cat-crash-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Join CAT Crash Course 2025<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/cat-crash-course\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"705\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-23-124226-1024x705.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-23-124226-1024x705.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-23-124226-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-23-124226-768x529.png 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-23-124226-1536x1058.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-23-124226-2048x1411.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-23-124226-610x420.png 610w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-23-124226-150x103.png 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-23-124226-218x150.png 218w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-23-124226-696x479.png 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-23-124226-1068x736.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-23-124226-1920x1322.png 1920w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-23-124226-100x70.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-iim-ahmedabad-cutoff-faqs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IIM_Ahmedabad_Cutoff_FAQs\"><\/span>IIM Ahmedabad Cutoff : FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1761480598455\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why it is important to know about the IIM Ahmedabad cutoff?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">As the cutoff has increased there will be more competition amongst CAT aspirants as students will now aim to score more percentile.
