I don't know the genesis of this information. But sounds not quite accurate. Percentile cannot be the basis of deciding on a cut off, moreover, percentile varies from paper to paper and category to category. If I found the right thing the following information should throw more light on it. They consider PWD as one category, which is legally not allowed. Please read the following, if someone can draw some conclusions from it.
GDPI[1].pdf Indian Institute of Management Bangalore This document provides information related to the candidates who applied to the Post Graduate Program ( PGP) 2007 at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore ( IIMB). It summarizes the profile of all the applicants to the program in comparison to the profile of those who have been short- listed for the group discussion and interview on certain dimensions that are used in the selection process. The excerpt below from the CAT Bulletin indicates the parameters used in the selection process at IIMB. " Candidates are short listed for the interview on the basis of their performance in the Common Admission test ( CAT), their scholastic record and relevant work experience. . The CAT score is but one of the inputs at every stage of the selection process. It is possible for a candidate with a lower CAT score to be selected for interview and group discussion, and to be offered admission in preference to a candidate with a higher CAT score on account of better performance in other criteria mentioned above." Accordingly, this document reports the comparative information on performance in the Common Admission Test ( CAT) 2006, past scholastic performance and relevant work experience. In addition, it also summarizes some demographic dimensions of the applicants and those short- listed that are of general interest to applicants.
