FMS BHU (IMS-BHU) cut-off details for PG admissions:
MBA & Related Programs via CAT
-
Minimum percentiles required (General category):
-
VARC: 50 percentile
-
DILR: 50 percentile
-
QA: 50 percentile
-
Overall aggregate: 85 percentile
-
This is the typical threshold used by IMS-BHU (Institute of Management Studies – formerly FMS), Varanasi, for MBA/MBA-IB/MBA-AB admissions.
MBA through CUET PG
-
For the Faculty of Commerce’s MBA, the following CUET PG cut-off scores (General category) are usually considered:
-
240+ marks
-
Reservations play a significant role, so OBC cut-offs can hover around 220–230, and SC/ST approximately 195–215 marks.
Category / Program | Entrance | General Cut‑off | OBC / SC / ST |
---|---|---|---|
IMS‑BHU (FMS) MBA | CAT | VARC/DILR/QA ≥ 50%ile, Total ≥ 85%ile | — |
Faculty of Commerce MBA | CUET PG | ≥ 240 |
OBC: 220–230; SC/ST: 195–215 |
Key Considerations
-
CAT-based MBA programmes (through IMS) expect candidates to cross the 85th percentile overall — this is non-negotiable for the general category.
-
CUET PG-based MBA admissions (via the Commerce faculty) use absolute marks, with general candidates needing roughly 240+ marks out of the total.
-
Reservations (OBC/SC/ST/EWS/PwD) significantly adjust the cut-off ranges — typically lower by 20–40 marks or percentiles.
What Should You Do Next?
-
For MBA via IMS (CAT route): Ensure your CAT score crosses 85 percentile overall, plus 50 percentile in each section.
-
For MBA via CUET PG: Aim for ≥ 240 marks (for general); confirm category-wise cut-offs when spot rounds are released after counseling.
-
Keep an eye on the official BHU or IMS websites for precise, category-specific cut-off charts once the admission sessions proceed.
