good luck

only once in every year.... no fixed date.

Hello,

CAT or the Common Admission Test is conducted by the IIMS for admission into their Post Graduation Programs.
The test have gone online from the past two years.
As lakhs of students apply each year, it is not possible to conduct the exam for every candidate on the same date.

So the exam is held over a period of one month from the last year onwards.

Each candidate can appear in the exam only once in a year and the same is conducted only once in a year though it is stretched over a period of a month to allow smooth processing.

I hope it is clear to you now.

Feel free to ask for any further help.

Good luck!

SCHEDULING & REGISTRATION

Q.1) Who is eligible to take the test?

Ans. 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) categories], 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 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. IIMs may verify eligibility at various stages of the selection process, the details of which are provided at the website www.catiim.in.
