Hello Dear,
As per the details mentioned by you, your query is not clear. Please mention more details of the institute and the examination in which you appeared and get 70 marks. Please elaborate your question and feel free to ask your doubts here for quick resolution of your query. The cut off depends upon the number of seats available, the difficulty level of paper and number of candidates writing the examination. And, hence varies every year depending on these factors.

I have got 92.9 percentile in snap. Can i expect a call from sibm Pune or scmhrd
Hello Aspirant,
The cutoffs are decided based on various factors like number of applicants, number of seats available, difficulty level of the exam etc.The expected percentile cutoff for SIBM, Pune is 98.5 and for SCMHRD, Pune is around 96. So in your case chances may be little low for a call from both institutes but the cutoffs may vary slightly so you can apply and try , other factors like past academic record, work experience etc will be considered. If you get a call, then do take Group Exercise (GE), Writing Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds seriously as they are considered for final selection.
