Compare your score with an IPE cutoff
IPE Hyderabad’s published CAT cutoff for 2025 was 65 percentile for General-category applicants in Round 1 for PGDM, MM, BFS, IB and HRM. The 2027 cutoff is awaited. The comparison tool uses only the historical exam, category and programme combinations listed below.
A cutoff and the minimum graduation requirement are different. Applicants also need 50% in graduation, or 45% for SC/ST/PC. An interview and the rest of the selection process follow shortlisting. See the admission weights and application steps.
IPE Hyderabad cutoff by entrance exam
| Test | Year | Category | Programmes | Percentile |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CAT | 2025 | General · Round 1 | PGDM, MM, BFS, IB, HRM | 65 |
| CAT | 2025 | OBC / SC / ST · Round 1 | IB, MM | 55 |
| CMAT | 2025 | General | HRM, MM | 80 |
| MAT | 2025 | General | IB, MM | 75 |
| ATMA | 2024 | General | HRM, MM | 80 |
The CAT 55-percentile cutoff applies to the published reserved-category IB and MM results. The General-category cutoff was 65 percentile. The available CMAT results cover HRM and MM; MAT covers IB and MM, and ATMA covers HRM and MM.
IPE accepts XAT and GMAT as well, but a verified numerical closing cutoff for those tests is not available in the current cutoff tables. The newer Business Analytics programme also lacks a verified historical row here. The comparison tool returns no numerical result for these combinations.
How has the General-category CAT cutoff changed?
| Admission year | CAT percentile | Category / round |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 65 | General · Round 1 |
| 2024 | 70 | General · historical table |
| 2023 | 70 | General · historical table |
| 2022 | 70 | General · historical table |
The General-category CAT cutoff shown for the five established PGDM programmes moved from 70 percentile in 2022–2024 to 65 in 2025. This is a historical change, not a projected cutoff for 2027.
The entrance test contributes 40% of the published selection weight. The interview contributes 35%, academics 20% and the remaining factors 5%. A past cutoff therefore describes one part of admission rather than a final selection score.
