Quick answer
For general-category candidates, the oldest IIMs (Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta) are commonly reported to need 99+, other established IIMs and top schools 95–99, newer IIMs 90–97, and good private B-schools 80–95. Cut-offs change every year and depend on academics, work experience and category.
