IBSAT, XAT, CAT, GMAT, and NAMT scores are accepted by IBS Kolkata for admission. For every IBS campus, a minimum IBSAT score of 55 percent is required for admission. The predicted cutoff for the IBSAT is around the 60% mark, while the NMAT cutoff at IBS Kolkata in 2022 was the 55% mark. Therefore, if you performed well in group discussions and all other parts of the admissions process, with a score of 70% you have a strong chance of getting into IBS Kolkata, regardless of whatever exam you took.
