Is sectional cut off important in CAT?

There is no doubt that sectional cutoffs are important in the CAT. It is a prerequisite of admission criteria for top B-schools to meet their sectional CAT cutoffs. Regardless of a candidate's overall CAT score, if they do not meet the minimum cutoff in any section, they will not qualify for admission to IIMs. In order to gain admission to top-tier management programs, candidates must achieve the sectional cutoffs.
