IIM Bangalore MBA RTI Data
This page is built around the 3 things most MBA aspirants actually search for: category-wise shortlist composite score, category-wise final selection composite score, and category-wise total waitlist movement.
For IIM Bangalore, shortlist and final selection are based on different score structures. So this page keeps shortlist CS and final selection CS separate and prominent.
What most students want first
The latest completed batch data surfaced publicly for IIM Bangalore core MBA/PGP is shown first.
Latest completed batch with category-wise shortlist CS, final CS, offers and waitlist data on this page.
Total interview shortlist count across categories for 2025-27.
Total final offers across categories for 2025-27.
General-category waitlist movement for 2025-27.
1) Category-wise Composite Score for WAT / PI Shortlist
This is the most useful first table for serious applicants. It tells you the actual shortlist cutoff by category, not just the minimum CAT eligibility cutoff.
| Batch | General | EWS | NC-OBC | SC | ST | PWD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-27 | 52.6351 | 42.1982 | 43.6882 | 37.4266 | 28.6808 | 17.0096 |
| 2024-26 | 48.8695 | 39.2903 | 40.4451 | 34.0663 | 27.8257 | 35.1605 |
| 2023-25 | 52.5831 | 40.8542 | 43.5703 | 37.3369 | 28.0190 | 37.1465 |
| Batch | General | EWS | NC-OBC | SC | ST | PWD | Total shortlisted |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-27 | 707 | 155 | 471 | 299 | 148 | 80 | 1860 |
| 2024-26 | 739 | 155 | 471 | 299 | 148 | 83 | 1895 |
| 2023-25 | 742 | 199 | 471 | 299 | 168 | 64 | 1943 |
Total shortlisted above is the sum of category rows shown in the public RTI-based tables used for this page.
2) Category-wise Composite Score for Final Selection
This is the table most students care about after interview season because it reflects the actual final-offer threshold by category.
| Batch | General | EWS | NC-OBC | SC | ST | PWD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-27 | 59.6879 | 47.9417 | 47.9868 | 45.7769 | 37.8951 | 31.04 |
| 2024-26 | 57.4843 | 46.0049 | 46.1931 | 44.0571 | 34.3843 | – |
| 2023-25 | 57.0722 | 46.3713 | 46.46079 | 42.6178 | 38.6087 | 42.6691 |
3) Category-wise Total Waitlist Movement
For converts, this is the most practical table after final results. It tells you how much the category moved after initial offers.
| Batch | General | EWS | NC-OBC | SC | ST | PWD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-27 | 61 | 16 | 28 | 38 | 7 | 10 |
| 2024-26 | 67 | 15 | 16 | 40 | 8 | 2 |
| 2023-25 | Not surfaced in the same public RTI-based source used for this page. | |||||
Total Offers Issued
This helps students understand how much bigger the offer pool was than the final class size and why waitlist movement matters.
| Batch | General | EWS | NC-OBC | SC | ST | PWD | Total offers |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-27 | 311 | 66 | 198 | 123 | 67 | 36 | 801 |
| 2024-26 | 317 | 65 | 186 | 125 | 68 | 25 | 786 |
| 2023-25 | 283 | 65 | 190 | 122 | 64 | 28 | 752 |
Official IIM Bangalore Formula: Why two score stages exist
This is why shortlist CS and final CS are separate sections on this page.
Interview shortlist stage
IIM Bangalore’s official process assigns weights of CAT 55, 10th 10, 12th 10, bachelor’s 10, work experience/professional course 10, and gender diversity 5 at the pre-PI stage.
Final admission stage
At the post-PI stage, IIM Bangalore uses PI 40, WAT 10, CAT 25, 10th 5, 12th 5, bachelor’s 5, and work experience/professional course 10.
| Category | VARC | DILR | QA | Aggregate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General | 80 | 75 | 75 | 85 |
| NC-OBC | 70 | 65 | 65 | 75 |
| EWS | 70 | 65 | 65 | 75 |
| SC | 65 | 60 | 60 | 70 |
| ST | 55 | 55 | 55 | 65 |
| PWD | 50 | 50 | 50 | 60 |
How to read this page correctly
One clean framework for students.
Step 1: Read shortlist CS
Use this to understand whether your profile + CAT combination was strong enough for the interview shortlist in that category.
Step 2: Read final CS
Use this to understand the level at which final offers happened after PI and WAT were added to the process.
Step 3: Read waitlist movement
Use this to estimate how much extra room opened up after initial offers. This is convert-depth context, not a guarantee.
FAQ
Only the practical questions students usually ask.
Which table is more important: shortlist CS or final CS?
Both are important, but for different uses. Shortlist CS helps you understand call difficulty. Final CS helps you understand convert difficulty after interview and WAT.
Can I compare shortlist CS and final CS directly?
No. They are based on different score stages. At IIM Bangalore, shortlist generation uses a pre-PI score, while final admission uses a post-PI score.
Does higher waitlist movement always mean easier conversion?
Not always. It may help, but movement depends on overlaps with other top colleges, number of offers issued, acceptance behaviour, and category-wise seat dynamics.
Why is the official CAT cutoff not enough to predict an IIM Bangalore call?
Because clearing the minimum official CAT eligibility cutoff is only the starting point. IIM Bangalore then uses a category-wise score framework for shortlist generation.
Need this same RTI format for all colleges?
This page follows the right MBA RTI structure: shortlist CS first, final selection CS second, waitlist movement third, and source links below.
