Indian Institute of Management – IIM Lucknow Results and Cutoffs

The cutoff for admission to IIM Lucknow’s MBA program is determined in two stages:

1. Minimum Qualifying Cutoff (for WAT/PI Shortlisting)

This is the basic percentile required to be considered for the next round:

• General: 97–99+ percentile

• EWS / OBC: 92–95 percentile

• SC: 75–85 percentile
