Our predictor uses a three-tier system to show your admission chances:
Cutoffs shown are the minimum percentile for shortlisting — not guaranteed admission. IIMs, top NLUs, and top NITs have multi-stage selection processes after the initial percentile cutoff.
All cutoffs in the predictor adjust based on your selected category. General category cutoffs are the strictest. Typical relaxations are:

If your predicted results show mostly Reach colleges for your target, here are the realistic strategies:
With CUET 85 percentile General category: Gargi College DU (B.Com, 88 cutoff — slightly above but worth trying), DDU Delhi (BBA, 90 cutoff — reach), Jamia Millia Islamia (BBA, 80 cutoff — safe), Christ University Bangalore (BBA, 80 cutoff — safe), NMIMS Mumbai via NPAT (separate exam), and many other central universities. Use the predictor above for exact results by category.
All three IIMs (ABC) require 99+ percentile for General category shortlisting. However, the percentile is just the first filter — final selection also considers academic profile (10th, 12th, graduation marks), work experience (2–4 years preferred), gender diversity, and academic diversity (non-engineering graduates get preference). Many 99+ percentile candidates don't receive calls due to academic background. OBC cutoff is 95+, SC is 85+, ST is 80+.
FMS Delhi has the best MBA ROI in India — total fees ₹2.32 lakh for the full 2-year programme, with average placement of ₹29–34 LPA. Payback period is under 2 months of salary. JBIMS Mumbai is second-best ROI — ₹2.5L fees, ₹20L+ placement. Both require high percentiles (FMS: CAT 98+, JBIMS: MH-CET 99.9+ for Maharashtra domicile). Among IIMs, IIM Indore has the lowest fees at ₹18L with ₹25L average placement.
With CLAT rank 500 General category: NLU Jodhpur (closing rank ~400 — reach), NUJS Kolkata (~300 — reach), NLU Bhopal (~700 — safe), NLU Patna (~800 — safe), NLU Raipur (~1000 — safe). Top 3 NLUs (NLSIU Bangalore, NLU Delhi, NALSAR Hyderabad) need ranks under 100–200. For OBC category, rank 500 opens NLU Jodhpur and NUJS Kolkata more comfortably. Use our CLAT predictor for category-specific results.
Yes — this is strongly recommended. Most top B-schools accept multiple exam scores. NMIMS Mumbai accepts both NMAT and CAT. XLRI accepts XAT (primary) and also considers GMAT. Many B-schools accept CAT, XAT, NMAT, CMAT, ATMA, and MAT. Appearing in CAT + XAT + NMAT significantly expands your college options and increases your chances of getting a good call even if one exam doesn't go as planned.
The predictor uses actual cutoff data from the 2025–26 admissions cycle. Cutoffs typically change by 1–3 percentile points each year based on exam difficulty and application volume. Treat the results as a realistic guide, not a guarantee. Always verify with official college websites before applying. For the most competitive colleges (99+ percentile), even small fluctuations can affect results — always apply to a mix of Safe, Moderate, and Reach options.
