NIBM publishes indicative category-wise CAT/GMAT percentile thresholds each admission cycle to ensure candidates can cope with the PGDM (B&FS) coursework. For the 2026-28 batch, the indicative thresholds are: General 80, NC-OBC 70, EWS 70, SC 65, ST 55 and PwD 55. These thresholds are decided every year only after all applications are received, so candidates should treat them as indicative and check the latest cut-off list published on pgdm.nibmindia.org before applying.
