IIFT has separate cutoffs for its 3 campuses. At IIFT Delhi, the institute sets these limits after considering exam participation, the number of students who pass, paper difficulty and available seats. Admission to the 2024 batch uses CAT scores. The cutoff figures cover 2024 and 2023, followed by a comparison for 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Meeting the minimum CAT cutoff allows students to move to the second round: Writing Ability Test, Group discussion/ Extempore, and Personal Interview. Admission then depends on several selection criteria, with the CAT score contributing 45% to the final result.
