IIT Madras - Indian Institute of Technology

IIT Madras CAT cutoff 2025 is generally not released to the public and is instead only visible to students with login credentials.

 Based on the previous year's estimated CAT cutoff for the General AI category, the overall CAT percentile was 85.11. 

Note: The cutoff data provided is not official. It is an estimate from unofficial sources. 

No, you cannot get direct admission to the MBA course based on the CAT score. A valid CAT score only gets you eligible to apply for the management course.

To secure your spot for the course, you have to first attain the accepted CAT cutoff and get shortlisted for the multi-stage selection process, which includes a Personal Interview (PI) and profile evaluation.  Students who clear both these criteria are eligible for the final admission offer letter. 

hi,

No—if you scored 44 when the cutoff is 45 in JEE Main, you would not qualify for JEE Advanced. Without qualifying JEE Advanced, admission to Indian Institute of Technology Madras is not possible, since IITs admit students only through that route.

However, you still have good alternatives. Lovely Professional University offers B.Tech programs with modern infrastructure, industry-aligned curriculum, and scholarships through LPUNEST or JEE scores. LPU focuses on placements, internships, and emerging fields like AI and data science. Many students build strong careers from such private universities even without IIT admission.

hi,

With an 82.121 percentile in JEE Main, getting admission into National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli is highly unlikely through general category quotas, as its cutoffs are usually much higher (often above 98–99 percentile). Even with home state or reserved categories, chances remain very slim.

However, you still have good options. Universities like Lovely Professional University offer quality engineering programs, modern infrastructure, and scholarships based on entrance tests like LPUNEST. LPU is known for industry exposure, placements, and diverse courses, making it a solid alternative if top NITs aren't feasible.

hi,

Yes, you can still get admission to aerospace engineering even if you didn't score 75% in your polytechnic. Most colleges require around 50–60% minimum marks for lateral entry, not necessarily 75%. Eligibility depends on the specific university and entrance criteria. You may need to appear for a lateral entry test or be admitted based on merit.

Lovely Professional University generally accepts diploma students with qualifying marks (around 60%) for lateral entry into B.Tech Aerospace Engineering through LPUNEST or direct admission, along with scholarship opportunities and strong lab facilities for practical learning.
