Why RTI Data Matters?
Every year, lakhs of CAT aspirants aim for top B-schools. However, all aspirants do not get the complete data they want to know. So, through RTI, we try to get answers to all those questions that CAT aspirants want to know, like CAT percentile cutoff, composite score cutoff, etc., for all categories. Which can guide your preparation strategy. So, in this blog, we are showing the data of IIM Bangalore for the PGP-BA 2024-2026 Program.
