1. Introduction: Why RTI
Data Matters for IIM Udaipur Aspirants
|
Aspect |
Details |
|
What is RTI? |
Right to Information Act,
2005 – legally mandates public institutions including all IIMs to provide
accurate admission data within 30 days of formal request |
|
Why RTI > Other Sources |
Legally binding,
institution-verified, from official admission records; false/misleading RTI
responses attract penalties under the Act |
|
Scope of This Article |
IIM Udaipur CAT percentile
data (2019–2025), category-wise cutoffs, sectional trends, composite score
framework, peer IIM comparison |
|
Key Distinction |
Qualifying cutoff = minimum
for PI-WAT shortlist (Stage 1). Final admission percentile = actual lowest
score of admitted students (higher, more competitive) |
|
Data Source |
RTI responses from IIM
Udaipur Admission Office; cross-verified across multiple RTI filings |
|
Categories Covered |
General, EWS, NC-OBC, SC,
ST, PwD |
|
Important 2026 Update |
IIM Udaipur has opted out
of CAP (Common Admission Process) for 2026–28 batch and will now conduct
independent selection process |

3. Selection Criteria –
Complete Framework
3.1 Stage-wise Selection
Process
|
Stage |
Component |
Details |
|
Stage 1 |
CAT Score Shortlisting |
Candidates must meet
minimum overall AND all three sectional percentile cutoffs (VARC, DILR, QA).
Failing any one section = automatic disqualification. |
|
Stage 1 |
Shortlist Size
Consideration |
Actual shortlist depends on
applicant pool size, interview capacity, diversity targets; most candidates
meeting cutoffs historically receive PI calls |
|
Stage 2 |
Written Ability Test (WAT) |
Tests structured writing,
analytical thinking, clarity of argument, evidence-based reasoning |
|
Stage 2 |
Personal Interview (PI) |
Communication skills,
current affairs, career clarity, domain knowledge, personality fit, ability
to defend positions under pressure |
|
Stage 2 |
Composite Score |
Weighted aggregate of CAT +
PI + Academic/WE determines final merit list; admission offers typically
released April–May |
|
CAP Note (2026–28) |
IIM Udaipur has opted out
of CAP and conducts independent PI-WAT with its own evaluation parameters and
schedule |
|
3.2 Final Composite Score
Weightage (2026–28 Batch)
|
Component |
Weightage (%) |
Notes |
|
CAT Score |
55% |
Normalized overall CAT
score – single most dominant factor at more than half of composite score |
|
Personal Interview (PI) |
25% |
Second largest factor;
critical differentiator among similarly-scored CAT candidates |
|
Academic Performance + Work

Combined profile evaluation
– 10th, 12th, graduation marks + professional experience quality and duration |
|
Total |
100% |
Holistic evaluation – CAT
dominant but 45% determined by other factors |
3.3 Key Interpretation of
Weightage
|
Insight |
Implication for Aspirants |
|
CAT at 55% is the dominant
factor |
No other component can
fully compensate for a significantly weak CAT score; high percentile is
non-negotiable |
|
Remaining 45% beyond CAT is
substantial |
Candidates with strong PI +
academic profile can convert over those with marginally higher CAT but weak
profiles |
|
PI at 25% is decisive at
the margin |
Two candidates with similar
CAT scores – the one with stronger PI will almost always convert |
|
Academic+WE at 20% rewards
consistency |
Strong 10th, 12th, and
graduation marks throughout educational journey contribute meaningfully |
|
IIM Udaipur's CAT weightage
(55%) > IIM Kashipur (50%) |
Udaipur is slightly more
CAT-heavy; even stronger emphasis on achieving high percentile |
|
Independent process from
2026–28 |
No CAP; IIM Udaipur
controls its own shortlisting, PI-WAT scheduling, and merit list preparation |

4. Two Types of Cutoffs –
Critical Distinction
|
Type |
Definition |
Who It Affects |
Typical Range (General, 2025) |
|
Qualifying Cutoff (Stage 1) |
Minimum CAT percentile to
receive PI-WAT shortlist call – published officially before admission cycle |
All applicants in each
category |
94 overall; 73 sectionals |
|
Final Admission Cutoff
(Stage 2) |
Actual minimum CAT
percentile at which a candidate received and accepted a final admission offer
after all stages |
Only final admitted
students |
Typically 2–4+ points above
qualifying |
|
Gap Between Both |
Final admission cutoff
exceeds qualifying cutoff due to composite score competition among all
shortlisted candidates |
Critical for realistic
target-setting |
Aim 3–5 points above
published qualifying cutoff |
Note: This article provides
both sets of data. Qualifying cutoffs = first filter. Final admission
percentiles = realistic minimum targets for actual admission.

5.2 Key Observations –
General Category Cutoff Trend
|
Observation |
Data Evidence |
Implication for Aspirants |
|
Significant upward movement
over 6 years |
90 (2019–21) → 94–95
(recent cycles); +4–5 points overall |
Target 97+ percentile for
safe shortlisting buffer |
|
Sharpest jump in 2021–23 |
Cutoff moved from 92 to 95
in a single cycle – highest single-year increase |
Reflects rapid brand
growth; trend unlikely to reverse |
|
Stability at 94–95 since
2021 |
Oscillates between 94 and
95 across recent 4 cycles |
Competition has matured at
high level; expect 94–96 range to continue |
|
Sectional moderation from
75 to 73 |
Sectionals eased from 75
(2021–24) to 73 (2023–27) |
Slight relief in sectional
burden but overall still extremely competitive |
|
Consistent dual-threshold
enforcement |
Both overall AND sectional
must be cleared independently |
Never neglect any section;
balanced prep is mandatory |

7. Sectional Cutoff
Enforcement – Why It Is Eliminatory
|
Aspect |
Details |
|
Rule |
Candidates must
independently clear VARC, DILR, AND QA sectional cutoffs alongside the
overall cutoff |
|
Consequence of failure |
Automatic Stage 1
disqualification regardless of overall percentile – no exceptions |
|
Example scenario |
Candidate scoring 98
overall but 70 in DILR (below 73 cutoff) = eliminated at Stage 1 despite
near-perfect overall score |
|
Strategic implication |
Never sacrifice any section
to maximize another; balanced, consistent preparation across all three
sections is non-negotiable |
|
Historical pattern |
Sectionals fluctuated
between 70–75 %ile; currently at 73 for General – strictly enforced in all
years |
7.1 Section-wise Preparation
Strategy
|
Section |
What It Tests |
Common Mistake |
Recommended Approach |
|
VARC |
Reading comprehension,
verbal reasoning, grammar, para-jumbles |
Rushing RC passages;
skipping grammar |
Daily long-form reading; RC
with strict timer; grammar drills |
|
DILR |
Data interpretation,
logical sets, puzzles, complex arrangements |
Wasting time on very hard
sets |
Learn triage – skip hard
sets; maximize speed+accuracy on medium sets |
|
QA |
Arithmetic, algebra,
geometry, number theory, modern math |
Over-focusing on advanced
topics |
Master fundamentals; speed
+ accuracy on Class 10–12 level concepts first |

8.2 Why Actual Admission
Percentile Exceeds Qualifying Cutoff
|
Factor |
Explanation |
|
Composite score competition |
Among all shortlisted
candidates above qualifying cutoff, only those with highest composite scores
(CAT+PI+Academic) get final offers |
|
Strong applicant pool |
Candidates shortlisted at
94+ general cutoff typically have strong academics and WE, raising the
effective floor |
|
PI performance filters
further |
Even candidates just above
qualifying cutoff may not convert if PI performance is weak (25% weightage) |
|
Safe target recommendation |
Target 97–98 percentile for
comfortable General category conversion at IIM Udaipur |
|
Category-wise safe targets |
EWS: 85–87 | NC-OBC: 85–87
| SC: 65–68 | ST: 48–52 | PwD: 48–52 |
9. PI & WAT Performance
– Impact on Conversion
|
Metric |
Details / RTI-Based Observation |
|
PI weightage |
25% of composite – second
largest single factor after CAT |
|
WAT weightage |
Part of the combined
evaluation structure; rewards structured analytical writing |
|
PI evaluation criteria |
Communication clarity,
domain knowledge, current affairs, career goal articulation, personality,
stress handling, ability to defend views |
|
WAT evaluation criteria |
Argument structure,
analytical depth, evidence quality, language clarity, conciseness within word
limit |
|
High CAT + Weak PI risk |
Candidates with 97–99
percentile have failed to convert due to poor PI articulation or
overconfidence |
|
Moderate CAT + Strong PI
opportunity |
Candidates slightly above
qualifying cutoff (94–96) can convert with exceptional PI (above 80% PI
score) |
|
Preparation priority |
PI prep should begin 2–3
months before interviews; cover current affairs, business news, own profile,
industry knowledge |
10. Diversity & Profile
Factors – Impact on Admission
|
Diversity Factor |
Category |
Impact |
|
Academic Diversity |
Non-engineers (Commerce,
Arts, Science, Law) |
Positive consideration
within profile component; may convert at marginally lower composite score
than engineers |
|
Gender Diversity |
Female candidates |
Positive weightage within
profile component; helps in borderline cases; does not override CAT dominance
at 55% |
|
Work Experience Quality |
All categories |
Relevant roles in reputed
organizations score higher; 2–4 years optimal; freshers not disqualified but
at mild disadvantage in WE sub-component |
|
International Accreditation
Impact |
All candidates |
AACSB + AMBA accreditations
attract more serious, globally-oriented candidates; raises overall applicant
quality |
|
Rajasthan / Regional
Diversity |
All candidates |
Not a published formal
criterion; IIM Udaipur selects nationally |

on 2026–28 Admissions
|
Aspect |
Under CAP (Previous) |
Independent Process (2026–28) |
|
PI-WAT scheduling |
Common schedule coordinated
across CAP IIMs |
IIM Udaipur schedules
independently; no conflict with other IIMs |
|
Shortlisting criteria |
Broadly similar across CAP
IIMs |
IIM Udaipur applies its own
institute-specific criteria and thresholds |
|
Weightage formula |
Varied by IIM within CAP |
IIM Udaipur's own formula:
CAT 55% + PI 25% + Academic+WE 20% |
|
Merit list |
Each IIM prepared
independently even under CAP |
Same – IIM Udaipur prepares
its own final merit list |
|
Impact on aspirants |
Interview called commonly;
could be evaluated by multiple IIMs simultaneously |
Must apply to IIM Udaipur
specifically; interview call is IIM Udaipur-specific |
|
Strategic implication |
Monitor IIM Udaipur's
official 2026–28 admission notification for updated criteria and schedule |
|
15. Common Misconceptions –
Clarified with RTI Data
|
Myth |
Reality (RTI-based) |
|
94 percentile guarantees
IIM Udaipur admission |
94 is the qualifying
threshold (Stage 1 only). Actual admitted candidates score 95–97+ due to
composite score competition. Qualifying ≠ admission. |
|
High CAT score alone
ensures conversion |
PI carries 25% weightage.
Candidates with 98–99 percentile have failed to convert due to poor interview
performance. CAT is dominant but not sufficient. |
|
Sectional cutoffs are
secondary to overall score |
Sectionals are eliminatory.
A candidate scoring 99 overall but 70 in VARC (below 73 cutoff) is
disqualified at Stage 1. No exceptions. |
|
AACSB accreditation doesn't
matter for domestic jobs |
AACSB accreditation
validates curriculum quality, faculty credentials, and research output –
directly improving education quality and global recruiter trust. |
|
CAP opt-out means lower
standards |
IIM Udaipur opted out of
CAP to exercise greater autonomy in candidate selection – a sign of
institutional confidence and maturity, not a lowering of standards. |
|
Freshers have no chance |
Freshers are eligible and
do secure admission. WE is one element within the 20% combined component.
Strong CAT + academics can fully compensate. |
|
Non-engineers are
disadvantaged |
Academic diversity is
positively valued. Non-engineers may convert at marginally lower composite
scores due to diversity weightage within the profile component. |

Answer |
|
1 |
What is the minimum CAT
percentile for IIM Udaipur (2025)? |
Qualifying cutoff for
2025–27 batch: General – 94 overall, 73 sectional. Actual minimum of admitted
candidates: approximately 95–97 for General. Safe preparation target: 97–98+
overall. |
|
2 |
Can I get IIM Udaipur with
94 percentile? |
94 meets the qualifying
threshold for General category. However, actual admitted candidates score
95–97+. A 94 percentile General category candidate needs an outstanding PI
(80%+) and exceptional academic profile for any conversion chance. |
|
3 |
What is CAP and why has IIM
Udaipur opted out of it? |
CAP (Common Admission
Process) was a shared PI-WAT process among select IIMs. IIM Udaipur has opted
out for the 2026–28 batch to conduct its own independent selection process,
reflecting its institutional maturity and desire for autonomy in candidate
evaluation. |
|
4 |
What is IIM Udaipur's
composite score formula? |
CAT Score: 55% | Personal
Interview: 25% | Academic Performance + Work Experience: 20%. CAT is the
dominant factor at 55%, but the remaining 45% creates meaningful scope for
profile differentiation. |
|
5 |
How important is PI for IIM
Udaipur? |
PI carries 25% weightage –
the second largest factor. Candidates at 94–96 percentile with exceptional PI
performance (80%+) have converted, while 98–99 percentile candidates with
poor PI have not. PI preparation is non-negotiable. |
|
6 |
Do sectional cutoffs matter
at IIM Udaipur? |
Yes – they are eliminatory.
All three sections (VARC, DILR, QA) must independently clear 73 percentile
for General category. Failing even one section = automatic disqualification
regardless of overall percentile. No exceptions. |
|
7 |
What international
accreditations does IIM Udaipur hold? |
IIM Udaipur holds both
AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) and AMBA
(Association of MBAs, UK) accreditations – dual accreditation held by fewer
than 5–6% of business schools globally. |
|
8 |
What is the safe target CAT
percentile for EWS/OBC candidates? |
EWS: 85–87 safe; 90+
comfortable. NC-OBC: 85–87 safe; 88+ comfortable. These build meaningful
buffers above qualifying (80) and estimated admission minimums (83–85). |
|
9 |
Is work experience
mandatory for IIM Udaipur? |
No. Work experience is part
of the combined 20% academic+WE component. Freshers are eligible and
admitted. Strong CAT score and consistent academic record can compensate for
absence of WE within the composite score formula. |
|
10 |
How does IIM Udaipur
compare to other second-gen IIMs? |
IIM Udaipur has the highest
qualifying cutoff (94) among second-generation IIMs in 2025 and is the only
second-gen IIM with dual AACSB + AMBA accreditation. Its placement outcomes
(avg 17 LPA) and brand perception are among the strongest in this group. |
|
11 |
Does gender diversity help
female candidates at IIM Udaipur? |
Female candidates receive
positive consideration within the 20% profile component (academic diversity +
diversity factors). This provides a marginal advantage in borderline cases
but does not override CAT's dominant 55% weightage. |
|
12 |
What was the sharpest
cutoff increase at IIM Udaipur? |
The sharpest single-cycle
jump was from 92 (2020–22) to 95 (2021–23) – a 3 percentile point increase in
one year, reflecting rapid brand growth and larger high-quality applicant
pools. |
|
13 |
What CAT percentile trend
is expected for 2026–28? |
Based on current
trajectory, General qualifying cutoff expected at 94–96. Actual admission
minimum expected at 96–98. Competition expected to remain very high given
independent process and improving brand. |
|
14 |
Is RTI data reliable for
IIM Udaipur admissions? |
RTI data is the most
reliable source available. It is legally mandated, institution-verified, and
extracted from official records. However, it typically shows minimum
percentiles (exceptional admitted candidates), not median or average figures.
Most admitted students score higher. |
|
15 |
What are important WAT
topics for IIM Udaipur? |
WAT evaluates analytical
writing on business, social, and current affairs topics. Important areas
include economic policy, technology & society, sustainability,
geopolitics, and business ethics. Practice writing 200–250 word structured
essays within 15 minutes with clear argument, evidence, and conclusion. |
