Hello, There is no cutoff as such for this program specifically; a CAT score of 80+ percentile should be enough to get an interview call. Visit the college website to get detailed info on the placements.

There isn't a specific criteria, because you get a call on the basis of your profile. There is a psychometric test followed by gdpi and accordingly you will convert it based on the preference with Core specializations having tougher competition. Hope you got my point, all the best :)
