As per the current cutoff trends, the required CAT cutoff for the Great Lakes Institute of Management is 90+. But there is no definite benchmark, this is just an approximation score to shortlist candidates for admission. The institute still considers exceptional students with lower scores. Also, if someone has a high aptitude test score and not a great academic background, they may get rejected. Although test score is important, the institute looks for more well-rounded candidates with a strong overall academic record.

They consider past academics, work experience (if any), recommendations, essays along with performance in GMAT/CAT/XAT/CMAT, and interviews. However, it has been observed from the admission trends for the past few years that the required cutoff percentile for CAT remains above 80.
