my b.tech. percentage is 47 & i do belong to open category, can't I apply for cat examination

CAT stands for Common Admission Test. This exam is being conducted by IIMs (Indian Institute of Management) in order to give admission for Management courses in top Business schools.

As far as your eligibility to the CAT is concerned, I am sorry to say that you are not elgible to appear for CAT Exam having secured 47% in your B.Tech course.

Here is the eligibility criteria for CAT Exam.

-One should have completed Graduation with any of the stream with a minimum of 50% of marks.
-Relaxation is there in percentage of marks upto 5% for the candidates of SC/ST.

As you are a candidate of open category, you will not be given any relaxation in percentage of marks which makes you unable to appear for CAT Exam.

I suggest you to appply for other entrance examination in order to get admission for MBA course. Otherwise you may try to get seat in Manaement Quota in any reputed college.

Dear friend,

Sorry to say that you are not eligible for CAT exam .

Because your graduation marks percentage is 47%.But they want 50% marks in general category.

Those candidate are belongs to SC/ST category , have percentage criteria is just above 45% marks.

There are no age criteria also there are no restriction for attempts CAT exam.So you can apply here various time.

But you are eligible for MAT exam.So you can prepare for MAT exam.
