Will 60 percentile be good enough in CAT 2025? You may not get top MBA colleges with that score, but you will certainly get a good Tier 2 or Tier 3 B-School. Check below the list of top MBA colleges with CAT cut off 60 to 70 percentile. 

CAT score between 60 to 70 percentile may not be the best score for getting into a top MBA college but it isn't end of the road either. There are many B-Schools in India which are within your reach even with 60-70 CAT percentile. If your CAT score happens to be between this range, the ideal thing to do is appear for the exam once again. But if you wish to pursue MBA in the same academic session, opt for the colleges accepting CAT score 60-70 percentile. 

MBA admission process included GD/WAT/PI so only meeting the CAT cut off criteria is not enough. So, while applying for admission, candidates must research about their preferred college and prepare accordingly. CAT 2025 will be held on November 30, 2025. MBA admission process 2026 will start in January 2026. Those appearing in CAT 2025 must check below the list of popular MBA colleges accepting 60-70 percentile in CAT.
