Have a question related to NIT Calicut ?

how much cut off in percentile to get in NIT Calicut mba admission

The Department of Management Studies, NIT Calicut offers a two-year, full-time MBA programme at the postgraduate level. The programme is offered with dual specialisation where students can opt for any two majors among the five specialisations. NIT Calicut MBA admission is based on percentile obtained by candidates in the Common Admission Test (CAT).

Based on the performance of candidates in the CAT followed by the GDPI process, the institute declares the merit list for selected candidates. There is no minimum CAT percentile stipulated by NIT Calicut. General category candidates who have obtained somewhere around 80 percentile in the CAT can apply for admission to the MBA programme. However, mere application does not mean a guaranteed call for the GDPI process.

Getting a GDPI call from NIT Calicut for the MBA programme is based on various factors such as number of candidates who have applied for admission. The CAT percentile could be less for the reserved category candidates. Although, the minimum CAT percentile required for admission is not stated by the institute, candidates must meet the minimum eligibility criteria before applying for admission to the MBA programme as mentioned below:

Eligibility Criteria for Regular Candidates : Bachelor’s degree in any discipline from a recognised University, with minimum 60% aggregate (or 6.5 out of 10 CGPA) for candidates who belong to General, OBC and EWS categories and 55% aggregate (or 6.0 out of 10 CGPA) for candidates who belong to SC/ ST category. Eligibility Criteria for Sponsored Category Candidates: (up to 5 students) Candidates sponsored by their employers to pursue an MBA should forward their application through the proper channel. They must have a minimum work experience of three years in the sponsoring organisation, after graduation. Candidates with a valid score in the CAT/ CMAT or equivalent would be preferred. Candidates are selected based on their performance in the Personal Interview.

To know about the CAT percentile before the declaration of actual result, check CAT Percentile Predictor .

I'm from Telangana , can i get seat in nit Trichy or nit Calicut with 88% in jee main paper 2 and 137 nata score and 95% in boards ?

Based on the search results, the expected cutoff for NIT Trichy for B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering (CSE) in 2024 is projected to be between 1499-1504 for other state candidates. For home state candidates, the cutoff is generally lower, around 1196-4178 in Round 1

Given your JEE Main Paper 2 score of 88%, NATA score of 137, and 95% in boards, you may have a competitive chance, but it ultimately depends on the final cutoffs and the number of applicants. Regularly check the official NIT Trichy website for the most accurate and updated information.
