IBSAT 2025 – Cut Offs

The IBSAT 2025 cut-offs are benchmark scores set by ICFAI Business Schools to shortlist candidates for the next rounds of admission, including the Micro Presentation (MP) and Personal Interview (PI). These cut-offs vary across different IBS campuses and depend on factors such as the total number of candidates, exam difficulty, and available seats.

The cut-off is the minimum IBSAT percentile or score a candidate must achieve to be eligible for admission procedures at various IBS campuses. Candidates who have valid scores in exams like CAT, XAT, GMAT, or NMAT (from 2023 onwards) may be exempted from IBSAT and considered based on their respective cut-offs. Each IBS campus sets its own cut-off marks, reflecting different demand and seat availability.
