Hi friend..

CAT stands for Common Admission Test.
It is conducted once in a year for admission in top B-Schools of India.
After qualifying CAT,you can take admission in Indian Institute of Management.

To be eligible to give CAT,you should fulfil these eligibility criteria:-
1.You should have done your graduation from a recognized university.
2.You should have secured at least 50% in your graduation.
3.There is 5% relaxation in the required graduation percentage for SC/ST/PH students.
4.There is no age limit to appear in this test.

So,since you have got 49.8% in your graduation,you are eligible to give this test only if you belong to SC/ST/PH category students.
After qualifying the written test i.e,CAT,one has to go through these two rounds also for final selection in IIMs:-
1.Group Discussion.
2.Personal Interview.

The syllabus of CAT consists of:-
1.Verbal Ability.
2.Logical Reasoning.
3.Quantitative Aptitude.
4.Reading Comprehension.
5.Data Interpretation.

If you are from General Category and not eligible to give CAT,you can appear for Management Aptitude Test (MAT).
Because there is no minimum percentage required to be eligible to give this test.
You can get admission in a good college after you score a good percentile in MAT.
I hope you are satisfied with my answer.
Best of luck.
Thanks.

Vikas.

I don't know the key of success but the key of failure is trying to please everybody.

Hello student,

Sorry you are not eligible for CAT Exam.
> percentage criteria of this exam is minimum 50 % in the graduation of any discipline of course through a recognized university.

It is really unfortunate that you got just 0.2% less than 50% which is the minimum marks that needs to be secured at graduation level to sit for the CAT exam.

However there is nothing to lose heart or be disappointed about it because you can give host of other entrance exams to pursue this course.

There is no minimum marks required for this exam.

Even final year students are eligible to give this exam and no age criteria is there as such too.

The paper basically consists of 200 MCQ type questions and there is no negative marking as such.

There are four important sections which needs to be properly taken care of: language comprehension, mathematical skills, data analysis and intelligence and critical reasoning section.

Top Colleges which accepts MAT scores are as follows:

Dear..

CAT :-

CAT is a MBA entrance exam which is conducted by Indian institute of Managements. It is a exam conducted once in a year for admission in the premiere management institute of India. CAT is a exam where success rate is so low. The exam is objective type and you will see there are 5 major sections such as English, Maths, GK, Reasoning and mental ability. For IIM's one should not expect calls if they got below 95% and this shows the toughness of the exam.

The eligibility of CAT is as follows :-


1. A candidate must be a graduate
2. Graduation must be done from a recognized university
3. 50% marks in case of General or OBC candidate
4. 45 % marks in case of SC/ST
5. There is no subject barrier and even Science and Arts graduate candidate can also apply for the course.
6. Good communication skills
7. No age limit
8. Unlimited number of attempts

So you have less marks then required if you are from OBC or reserved category and you are not at all eligible but if you are from Other reserved category like SC or ST then you are eligible for the course.

Hope it will help

Cheers...!!!
