Overview — What changed in this expanded version
This page extends the previous blog by adding: multiple more institutes (IIM Bangalore, IIT Delhi, NIT Trichy, AIIMS Bhopal, JIPMER), additional exams (JEE Main, CMAT, MAT, XAT, GATE), category-wise 5-year tables (Gen/OBC/SC/ST where applicable) and comparative charts. All additions are appended and the original layout remains unchanged.
Important: The numbers below are compiled from public admissions / counselling reports and education portals as representative historical values. They should be treated as indicative — always cross-check official datasets for precise round-wise cutoffs.
IIM Bangalore — CAT (5-year historic sample)
IIM Bangalore shortlists at high percentiles. Table: qualifying / observed shortlist percentiles by category (2021–2025).
| Year | Qualifying (min percentile) | General (shortlist) | OBC | SC | ST |

| 2025 | ~88 | 93–97 | 85–90 | 74–82 | 62–73 |
IIMB uses sectional minima and other shortlisting parameters; these percentiles reflect final PI-invite bands in reported years.
IIT Delhi — BTech (Representative closing ranks for top branches)
Below are representative closing ranks for IIT Delhi — Computer Science (General AI) and an illustrative ECE/EE range for 2021–2025.
| Year | CS Closing Rank (Gen AI) | ECE/EE Closing Rank (Gen AI) | OBC / SC / ST notes |
|---|
| 2021 | ~90 | ~450 | OBC: ~400–1200; SC/ST larger ranks |
| 2022 | ~85 | ~420 | OBC: ~350–1100 |

Additional Entrance Exams — 5-year sample cutoffs & percentiles
Below are representative 5-year summary tables for commonly referenced entrance exams. Percentiles / scores vary by institute & program; these are indicative for planning.
JEE Main — Qualifying Percentile & Representative Top Branch Cutoffs (2021–2025)
| Year | General — Qualifying Percentile (approx) | Representative Top NIT/IIT seat (closing percentile/rank) |
|---|

JEE Main percentiles are used to shortlist for JEE Advanced in some years; final admissions depend on JEE Advanced & JoSAA.
CMAT / MAT — Representative cutoffs (percentile) 2021–2025
| Year | Top CMAT Colleges (expected percentile) | Top MAT Colleges (expected percentile) |
|---|
| 2021 | 95–99+ | 80–95 (varies) |

| 2024 | 95–99+ | 70–90 |
| 2025 | 95–99+ | 70–90 |
CMAT percentiles for top government/private B-schools trend very high; MAT required percentiles vary a lot by institute tier.

| Year | Top XIM / XLRI / SPJIMR shortlisting percentile |
|---|
| 2021 | Top: 98–99.9; Many require 95+ |
| 2022 | 98–99.9 |

| 2022 | Similar |
| 2023 | Similar |
| 2024 | Similar |
| 2025 | Refer GATE admitting institute cutoffs per year |
GATE uses normalized scores; institute-specific cutoffs (IITs/NITs/PSUs) vary by branch and seat count.

Methodology, caveats & where to verify
How to interpret these tables and charts:
- These tables compile representative, publicly published cutoff/closing-rank summaries from JoSAA, MCC, IIM shortlisting PDFs and education portals. They are assembled for trend analysis and planning.
- Exact admissions decisions use round-wise opening & closing ranks (JoSAA), counselling seat matrices (MCC, State authorities), and institute-specific shortlisting rules (IIMs). Use official PDFs for definitive numbers.
- Category-wise tables are sensitive to reservation policy, home-state quotas and seat matrix changes — these influence year-to-year moves in cutoffs.
Typical verification sources:
- JoSAA portal — opening & closing ranks (yearly PDFs)
- IIM official shortlisting PDFs (IIM Ahmedabad / IIM Bangalore)
- MCC / NTA / AIIMS counselling portals for NEET/MBBS
- Reputed education portals that reproduce official tables (Careers360, CollegeDekho, Shiksha) — useful for quick checks but always cross-verify with the primary source.
