IMT Nagpur MBA Cutoff

The institute doesn’t declare its minimum cutoff percentile. However, as per the official sources, the institute has closed its admission at 75 percentile for CAT/XAT and 90+ percentile for CMAT in 2024. IMT Nagpur Cutoff for reserved category candidates is typically lower than that of General Category candidates.

  • Example A: A general-category candidate with CAT 91 percentile, 2 years’ experience and 75% graduation marks receives a shortlist and converts after strong PI/GD performance.
  • Example B: An NC-OBC candidate with CAT 82 percentile and solid interview score secures admission due to category relaxation and a balanced profile.

Tip: Aim for CAT percentile ≥90 (general) or CMAT ≥85 to be safely competitive for IMT Nagpur; lower percentiles may work with exceptional profiles and strong performance in post-shortlist rounds.

Admission:

Eligibility for this course is an undergraduate degree. Additionally one has to appear for an entrance exam like Cat, Xat or Cmat. For cat and xat a safe percentile is above 80 to get an interview call. For cmat one can target above 95 percentile. The application form is available online and one can apply either for all campuses of IMT through common application form or just IMT Nagpur. The form fee is around ?1000 to ?2000. The form is opened before cat exam and generally also re-opened before or after cat / xat results. One can expect form to reopen before CMAT exam as well. The admission process was smooth as it was online when i appeared for it. There was an essay test, a Statement of purpose and a personal interview with 2 panelists. The difficulty level can be increased for the interview. Otherwise they also conduct offline interviews now in various cities so there should not be a problem. One can also choose to visit the campus before taking admission and check first hand

Admission:

Every College has some good points and some bad points. Good Points about IMT Nagpur 1) It is having experienced faculties. 2) It is having a large alumni base which eventually helps a student studying in the college. 3) It is having a 27 acres campus which helps a student to get good exposure and also helps him enjoy his college life. 4) It is a student-driven campus so there are many in-house activities going on on the campus which helps a student to get good exposure and good experience of his MBA. Admission Process It was a simple process I had an interview and a group task in March 2020 in Xaviers College Mumbai One of the main reasons I chose IMT Nagpur was because of the brand name it is having and also I was being awarded a scholarship of 65% of the whole piece which made me take this decision in this covid scenario.

Admission:

I applied to IMT Nagpur through CAT. The admission process was similar to what other B-Schools are also doing. But instead of group discussion, we were given a group activity where students were divided into groups on the spot and were given a task to come up with a new business model for a certain product. We were also given some charts and sketch pens to work with so that we can present our idea in a better way. This activity was constantly being watched by the specialists.

Admission:

I wanted to pursue my MBA in Marketing, and IMT Nagpur is considered a good college for the marketing industry also provides placements with a good package. To get admission to the college you have to clear two rounds of GD-PI. In GD there were 10 students and 2 panellists who evaluate you and after that, there is a PI round in which they ask generic questions that appealed more to common sense and some general knowledge questions.
