IIT MBA Cutoffs vs 2nd-Gen IIMs Does IIT Make More Sense Looking at These Numbers?

Body

Attached is a snapshot of CAT 2024 cutoffs for IIT MBA programs along with eligibility details.

What’s interesting is that several IITs are calling candidates in the 85–95 percentile range, which overlaps quite a bit with 2nd-gen IIMs.

Given this, curious to hear thoughts from the community:

  • Does an MBA from IIT (DoMS / VGSoM / SJMSOM) make more sense than a 2nd-gen IIM, purely looking at cutoff ranges?

  • How much should factors like brand recall, roles offered, batch size, and ROI weigh in here?

  • For non-engineers, does IIT still hold the same value?

Not comparing in absolute terms, but from a practical decision-making standpoint for someone in this percentile bracket.
