Public/Government University|Estd. 2015|NIRF #53 (MBA/PGDM) 2023

• Updated on Jul 24, 2025, by Sakshi Garg

IIM Bodh Gaya cutoff has been released for admission to its management programs. Admissions for the MBA program are based on CAT scores and the Personal Interview (PI), while JIPMAT scores are used for IPM admissions. The cutoff includes both sectional and overall CAT percentiles, and candidates who meet these are eligible for the next stage of selection. IIM Bodh Gaya conducts admissions through the Common Admission Process (CAP 2025) and a Supplementary Admission Process (SAP). The minimum CAT percentile required for shortlisting candidates for the Personal Interview for the MBA and MBA-DBM 2025–27 batch is determined based on overall and sectional scores.

 

For General category candidates, the expected CAT percentile is around 90–95 overall, with a percentile of 85–90 in each section (VARC, DILR, QA). The institute shortlists candidates through a selection process, where the CAT score contributes 45% weightage, the Personal Interview (PI) contributes 25%, and profile weightage is 30%, divided between academic profile (14%) and work experience (16%).
