CAT EXAM
The qualification criterion that is needed for a student to apply for the Common Admission Test is a graduate degree from an approved college. The students can be from any stream, but they are required to have a score of atleast 50 percent in their final exams. Students of the Sc/St/PH and OBC communities require only 45 percentage marks. Those who are writing their final year exam are qualified to appear for the exam too.

Approach a good institute like TIME as it is very hard to prepare all by yourself.
GOOD LUCK

is doing MBA after civil engineering is a good idea? could any average student qualify CAT easily?
