This is one update many aspirants were waiting for 

IIM Sambalpur has officially confirmed:
No sectional percentile cut-offs for CAT 2025
Only requirement: positive raw score (>0) in all three sections
Shortlisting will be based on overall percentile only

If one section didn’t go as planned but your overall score is strong you’re still in the race.
This opens doors for aspirants who feared sectional cut-offs more than the exam itself.
