Since you have said that after 4 years i am assuming that you are doing btech. I will suggest you that instead of going for CAT go for your masters course and after its completion get a job and after its 2-3 years do the MBA.

It is to be noted that IIMs are also planning to make work experience compulsory in some years. So it will help you if percentage does not increases

hello friend.......
ya this was to be that this time 55% of minimum marks would be required to give the CAT exam in the year 2012
but the official notice has not been declared ........
so i would request you to keep visiting the official website of the CAT to get the latest news and take your final decision .........

You need to work really hard to bring up your score. You must consider going in for help by joining some training centers. Also since you are in the final year why wait till 2012 you can appear for the exam when you are in your the final year. Make sure that you prepare well. Also it is advisable to use a systematic approach.

Hi

You can apply for the CAT examination if you have scored more than 50% marks in your graduation. The candidates who have appeared in the final year examination are eligible to apply for the CAT examination.

If a candidate having less then 50% marks in graduation then they are not eligible for the CAT examination, but if the candidate belongs to some reserved category such as Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Differently Abled (DA)categories then the percentage required for such candidates is only 45%.

Candidates belonging to above reserved category should have a category certificate if they want any relaxation. Otherwise they are not eligible for the reservation in CAT examination.

So you can apply for the CAT examination if you have more then 50% marks in your graduation.

GOOD LUCK

If you do hard work then you can get more than 50%.So study with determination to get your aim.
