IBMR Hubli Cutoff 2026 (Expected)

The IBMR Hubli CAT Cutoff 2026 is not officially available yet. Since the reported CAT cutoff was 70 percentile across categories and courses in 2025, candidates can use that figure as the base benchmark rather than expecting a major change without evidence.

 

For planning purposes, 70–75 percentile can be treated as the expected CAT 2026 range, with 75+ percentile being the safer target for candidates who want some margin above the previous cutoff.

IBMR Hubli Karnataka PGCET Cutoff (Expected)

The IBMR Hubli Karnataka PGCET Cutoff 2026 is not available yet. The 2025 GM category provides a useful reference because its closing rank changed substantially between counselling rounds. The GM closing rank was 18,136 in Round 1, 30,567 in Round 2 and 15,585 in Round 3. Because of this variation, there is no single PGCET rank that can accurately be presented as the 2026 cutoff.

 

For planning purposes, a rank below 20,000 can be considered a stronger target based on the reported 2025 GM data. Candidates in the 20,000–30,000 range may still have opportunities depending on category, seat availability and counselling round.
