Unfortunately you cannot sit for CAT exam after giving your boards exam. To give CAT you need to complete your graduation first. There are certain eligibility criteria which needs to be satisfied in this case. Here i am trying to shortlist some of them for you:

CAT Exam Details:

CAT stands for Common Admission Test. This exam is conducted by the IIMs, one of the premier institution and the most sought after when it comes to pursuing MBA and other management programs.

CAT score is not only accepted by the IIMs but is also a must for several other reputed private autonomous institutions. Since it is conducted by the IIMs therefore no other university accepts CAT score.

As mentioned earlier to give this exam you need to complete your graduation first in any discipline of your choice from a recognized university or institution.

In addition to that you also need to secure minimum 50% of marks at graduation level if you are a general category candidate.

There is percentage relaxation for the reserved category candidates. It is 45% in aggregate for SC and ST candidates.

If you are a final year student about to sit for the final year exam or awaiting the result of the final year exam then also you can give this exam. You will be considered eligible.

Selection Procedure:

Selection Procedure for the exam mainly includes the following stages:

• Written Examination
• Group Discussion
• Personal Interview

The exam is mainly objective type. Conceptual questions will come so mugging and cramming wont help much. You need to understand each and every chapter properly and go to the root of it to understand better. Therefore it is always advisable to start preparation much in an advance to give yourself enough time to get accustomed to the whole syllabus.

The whole paper needs to be completed in two and a half hours' time and be very cautious when answering each and every question since negative marking is there. For every wrong answer you give a certain percentage of marks will be deducted from the original score.

For the exam you need to stress on the following areas:

• Verbal Ability
• Reading Comprehension
• Problem Solving
• Data Interpretation

CAT Cut-Off Marks:

Since this is the toughest of all the MBA entrance exams, so it will take some doing to crack this exam. To give you a better idea about the percentage of marks you need to secure to book a position in one of the IIMs here i have attached the cut off marks for you.

FORMAT OF CAT

Q.1) I hear that CAT will be held online. Is that correct?

Ans. CAT is a computer-based test (CBT) and not an Internet-based test (IBT) i.e. a candidate does not take the test on an Internet site. Instead of reading the questions in a paper booklet and darkening the ovals on the answer-sheet, a candidate will read the questions on a computer terminal and choose an answer by clicking on the correct option.

Q.2) How is the computer-based format different from the paper-based format?

Ans. The format of the test is more or less the same except that a candidate reads a question on a computer terminal and clicks on the correct answer, instead of reading on a paper booklet and using a pencil to darken the ovals on an answer sheet.

Q.3) Can I take the test from any computer?

Ans. No. A candidate will have to test on a pre-assigned workstation and will not have a choice to choose his or her workstation, in the testing venue chosen by him/her during the time of registration.

Q.4) What does a CBT test looks like?

Ans. A CAT practice test is available on the website www.catiim.in for candidates to get familiarised with the functionality and navigation of the actual test.
