Firstly you have to know this that MBA is a postgraduate course which means only graduates can apply. So only after graduation you can apply for this exam. So first get a degree in any discipline of your choice from a recognized university then you can definitely sit for this exam.

CAT stands for Common Admission Test. This exam is conducted by the IIMs, one of the best in the business when it comes to studying MBA. CAT is also one of the best MBA Entrance Exam and the toughest to crack as well. The CAT Score can not only be used to study in IIM but also in other top B-Schools as well.

As mentioned earlier to study MBA you need to complete graduation first. The stream you choose is of little significance here. Even final year candidates who are about to sit for their final qualifying exam or awaiting the result of their final exam can also apply.

At graduation level you need to score at least 50% of marks in aggregate if you are a general category candidate. For the SC/ST/PWD Candidates the percentage to secure is 45% of marks in aggregate.

There is no age criteria to follow specifically. Therefore a candidate gets the freedom to choose the right time when he wants to sit for this examination. Much the same way it is totally upto him as to how many times he wants to give the exam because there is no restriction on the number of permissible attempts as well.

Usually the selection procedure varies from one institute to the other. While some prefers to let the students apart from sitting for the CAT exam go through a group discussion round and personal interview session. There are some institutes which even gives importance to overall academic background and work experience.

The written exam has following two sections:-

1. Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation (70 minutes)-30 questions
2. Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning (70 minutes)-30 questions

Hope this helps :-> :->

It is irrelevant from which board you have completed 12th standard when applying for the Common Admission Test. But since you have asked the question I will point out that NIOS is also a recognized board therefore you dont really have to worry about it.

Apart from the 12th board, the marks obtained in 12th standard are also irrelevant when appearing for the Common Admission Test. This exam is conducted after completing graduation and not 12th standard.

The Common Admission Tes is conducted for the post graduation course called Master of Business Administration. Therefore the candidates who have only completed 12th standard are not eligible for this entrance exam.

You will first have to complete graduation in order to apply for the Common Admission Test. And your performance in graduation will determine whether you are eligible for Common Admission Test or not.


Eligibility

1. Must have completed graduation from recognized college.

2. At least 50 percent marks in graduation course.

3. SC and ST should complete graduation with minimum of 45 percent marks.


If you meet the criteria mentioned above, only then you are eligible for the Common Admission Test. This exam is conducted in October/November. The IIMs are responsible for conducting Common Admission Test.

Based on your performance in CAT you can apply for admission in Indian Institute of Management, the most reputed MBA university in the country. There are 13 IIMs in the country.

Apart from your performance in Common Admission Test, marks obtained in 12th standard may also be considered by the IIMs to offer admission. Selected candidates are called for Group Discussion which is followed by a interview.

CAT Eligibility

The candidate must hold a Bachelor’s Degree, with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA [45% in case of the candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Differently Abled (DA) (It may also referred to as Persons with Disability (PWD) category)], awarded by any of the Universities incorporated by an act of the central or state legislature in India or other educational institutions established by an act of Parliament or declared to be deemed as a University under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, or possess an equivalent qualification recognized by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India. The percentage of marks obtained by the candidate in the bachelor’s degree would be calculated based on the practice followed by the university/institution from where the candidate has obtained the degree. In case the candidates are awarded grades/CGPA instead of marks, the conversion of grades/CGPA to percentage of marks would be based on the procedure certified by the university/ institution from where they have obtained the bachelor’s degree. In case the university/ institution does not have any scheme for converting CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by dividing the candidate’s CGPA by the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the result with 100. Candidates appearing for the final year of bachelor’s degree/equivalent qualification examination and those who have completed degree requirements and are awaiting results can also apply. If selected, such candidates will be allowed to join the programme provisionally, only if he/she submits a certificate latest by June 30, 2013 from the Principal/Registrar of his/her College/Institute (issued on or before June 30, 2013) stating that the candidate has completed all the requirements for obtaining the bachelor’s degree/equivalent qualification on the date of the issue of the certificate. IIMs may verify eligibility at various stages of the selection process, the details of which are provided at the website www.catiim.in.
