IIM Bangalore RTI Data 2026: Conclusion
The IIM Bangalore RTI Data 2026 provides useful insights into the PGP 2026 admission process based on CAT 2025. A total of 1,780 candidates were shortlisted for WAT/PI, while the RTI response records 639 admission offers and 178 waitlist offers.
The CAT 2025 data shows that the lowest percentile among candidates receiving offers was 91.34 in the General category, while the lowest reported figures for NC-OBC, EWS, SC, and ST were 78.95, 89.35, 79.09, and 73.23, respectively.

For CAT 2026 aspirants, the data can help set realistic percentile targets while keeping the institute's broader selection criteria in mind.
