The weightage will be 35% for both CAT and PI, 20% for WAT, and 10% for the resume score.

The sectional cutoff for the general category is 75 percentile for each section (VARC, QA, DI & LR). IIM Kozhikode CAT Cut off 2024 for OBC and EWS is 65 in all the sections. For SC, ST and PwD candidates, the cutoff will vary between 45 to 55 percentile.
Sectional cutoffs are significant as the candidate needs to do well in each section of the examination and not remain average in a few. In the admission process, if the candidate fails to meet the sectional cutoff even in one of the sections, then that person may be disqualified irrespective of the overall percentile they score. Therefore, the candidates must focus on all areas equally to move further in the selection process at IIM Kozhikode.
