What IIM Ahmedabad RTI Data 2026 Means for CAT Aspirants
-
Treat 95.34 as an observed minimum, not a cutoff: It is the lowest percentile among shortlisted General-category candidates, and shortlisting also depends on profile, so a higher percentile improves your chances but does not guarantee a call.
- Do not write off the waitlist: Roughly half of the waitlisted PGP candidates were offered a seat.
- Work experience is not a prerequisite: About 22% of the batch are freshers, and 40% have up to a year of experience.
Conclusion
The IIM Ahmedabad RTI data 2026 shows a batch that is selective on percentile, mixed on experience and open to waitlisted candidates. Use the figures as targets, not guarantees.
