Verified Answer
Primary answer
Yes, IIFT generally applies sectional cutoffs in addition to the overall CAT percentile while shortlisting candidates. This means applicants must score above the minimum required percentile in each CAT section—VARC, DILR, and QA—to be eligible for further selection stages. Sectional cutoffs are not publicly disclosed and may vary each year based on applicant pool quality.
