IIM Calcutta 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 Calcutta, 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 Calcutta core MBA 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-27 | 56.105 | 51.01 | 48.735 | 42.305 | 36.508 |
| 2024-26 | 51.3 | 46.95 | 44.775 | 38.714 | 33.915 |
| 2023-25 | 52.743 | 48.141 | 45.4 | 39.003 | 33.302 |
| Batch | General | EWS | NC-OBC | SC | ST | Total shortlisted |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-27 | 956 | 70 | 437 | 459 | 248 | 2170 |
| 2024-26 | 931 | 62 | 417 | 430 | 230 | 2070 |
| 2023-25 | 931 | 63 | 409 | 418 | 222 | 2043 |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-27 | 56.768 | 56.432 | 43.329 | 44.766 | 36.166 |
| 2024-26 | 52.794 | 51 | 42.33 | 44.802 | 36.091 |
| 2023-25 | 51.812 | 48.757 | 39.778 | 39.637 | 34.948 |
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 | Total WL movement |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-27 | 117 | 14 | 92 | 79 | 47 | 349 |
| 2024-26 | 117 | 12 | 94 | 50 | 46 | 319 |
| 2023-25 | 173 | 18 | 121 | 79 | 48 | 439 |
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 | Total offers |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-27 | 471 | 20 | 280 | 175 | 94 | 1040 |
| 2024-26 | 426 | 26 | 271 | 140 | 92 | 955 |
| 2023-25 | 481 | 27 | 284 | 171 | 89 | 1052 |
Official IIM Calcutta Formula: Why two score stages exist
This is why shortlist CS and final CS are separate sections on this page.
PI + WAT shortlist stage
IIM Calcutta’s official process assigns weights of CAT 56, Class 10 marks 10, Class 12 marks 15, and Gender Diversity Factor 4 for the shortlist composite score.
Final admission stage
For final selection, IIM Calcutta uses CAT 30, Personal Interview 48, Writing Ability Test 8, Academic Diversity 6, and Work Experience 8.
| Category | VARC | DILR | QA | Overall |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OPEN | 80 | 80 | 75 | 85 |
| EWS | 70 | 65 | 65 | 75 |
| NC-OBC | 70 | 65 | 65 | 75 |
| SC | 65 | 60 | 60 | 70 |
| ST | 55 | 55 | 55 | 65 |
| PwD | 45 | 45 | 45 | 55 |
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 Calcutta, shortlist generation uses a Stage II composite score, while final admission uses a Stage III composite 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 Calcutta call?
Because clearing the minimum official CAT eligibility cutoff is only the starting point. IIM Calcutta then uses a category-wise composite-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.
