PWD category CAT cutoffs for IIM ABC sit around 92-95 percentile and FMS Delhi around 90-92 percentile, based on historical data from iimbuddy and Azuaction, though exact numbers vary yearly. PWD candidates get a significantly lower cutoff than General, OBC, or even SC/ST due to very low applicant pool and institutional reservation mandates. IIM Ahmedabad charges Rs 27.

5L fees with Rs 35.22 LPA average, IIM Bangalore Rs 26.2L with Rs 34.

88 LPA, IIM Calcutta Rs 27L with Rs 34.23 LPA, and FMS Delhi Rs 2.43L with Rs 34 LPA, all achievable at PWD cutoffs if academics and profile are decent.

The catch: PWD candidates still need to clear sectional cutoffs, which for ABC is around 70 percentile per section even for reserved categories. For PWD candidates with 9/9/8 or better academics, 93+ overall CAT with all sectionals cleared almost guarantees IIM A/B/C shortlist. FMS Delhi is essentially free at Rs 2.

43L and places at Rs 34 LPA, making it the highest ROI MBA in India for any category. PWD candidates should also apply to XLRI (PWD relaxation of 10+ percentile), IIFT, and new IIMs for safety. Don't rely on generic predictors; check Azuaction and iimbuddy for category-specific updated cutoffs.
